I never really thought Olive Oil cake sounded so appetizing as a dessert, but it all really works! The grapes taste almost like plums (one of my favorites) and the cake is moist and crumbly. I figured if my initial feeling was to avoid this Martha Stewart recipe, I just had to try it out. […]

So many of my childhood memories are food related! One of those memories is making microwaved s’mores for dessert after dinner, and then making seconds when my parents left the kitchen.

There isn’t much more of an introduction that I can give you. […]
