A Salsa I Hadn't Made in Ages, A Recipe in the Works ๐ŸŒฎ Lemons + Blueberries & More


Friends, hello!

This week I spotted champagne mangoes at the market, and I couldn't resist buying them. I have been on a corn tortilla-making kick and having fresh salsa to pair with our tacos sounded so nice.

Friends, it was! I haven't made this recipe in ages, and it was such a treat to have on hand โ€” so bright, so refreshing, such a welcomed contrast to the food and flavors we've been subsisting on all winter long.

My children gobbled it up...

And I enjoyed leftovers on my breakfast tacos, which sounds weird, but I promise you wasn't:

Prized for their sweetness and creamy texture, champagne mangoes are small and tear-dropped in shape. They're currently in season. Go get 'em! Corn tortilla recipe coming soon. Have a great weekend, Friends โ˜€๏ธโ˜€๏ธ

Friends, good morning. Last night, I pulled an undated bag of frost-coated currant scones from the freezer. Given their very past-prime appearance, my expectations were low, and I questioned whether I should bother reheating them, but I pushed on this morning, crossed my fingers, and threw them in the oven. Friends, they are so good! I love a scone, and I love this one so very much: punctuated with tiny currants, it's perfectly sweet and lightly lemony. What's more, it doesn't taste at all...

... build a sourdough starter from scratch! Friends, if you've ever wanted to build a sourdough starter from scratch or if you've tried in the past and failed, it's time to try again! We've had a glorious few days of sunny skies and warm weather here in Upstate New York, and my starter hasn't been happier in months. I'm not feeding it any differently; it's thriving simply because the temperature outside has risen. This got me thinking: if the weather here is finally looking bright (despite...

Friends, hello. I hope you all had a wonderful holiday weekend. We are back from Vermont, and I am missing sitting on my cousin's screened-in porch admiring the view. This week I worked on a rosemary-olive sourdough recipe (using this recipe as a base), and while it was a little heavy, it was very tasty. More on this soon: I also put together a little Mother's Day gift guide. A few things Iโ€™m excited about include the seasonโ€™s latest cookbooks as well as this bright blue tortilla press (so...
