Ciao Settembre… Hello September…

I am so happy that September is here… The light is changing,  and there is that lovely breeze that reminds me  of a favorite Season.  It is still so hot,  but hopefully it will cool off a bit ,  enough to enjoy some traditional cool weather foods… for now,  a nod to Fall with Homemade Fig Jam with Thyme,  and Pecan Macaron with a Rum Ricotta filling.

Preparando Per Pasqua… Getting Ready For Easter…

There is something so sweet about Easter… The bunnies, the flowers,  the pastel colors… adorable,    they all inspire me to make something sweet and lovely.  I haven't been decorating for holidays as much as I used to like to,  but,  definitely enough to be in the spirit of things.  Egg decorating,  always a must for Easter,   and  always a little different each year.  Making cookies with Giu Giu has been fun… This year I am enjoying garden shades for my eggs,  and decor…along with some pastels… of course…
