Yep, another frozen treat post. This just might be the last one of the season, I promise! I wanted to make watermelon popsicles, then decided upon granita at the very last minute. I have a cantaloupe and honey granita recipe on the blog. Do check it out. When I made that, I prepared a light…
Strawberry Focaccia Bread {With Cinnamon Sugar}
If someone asks me what inspires me to cook, I would say it depends on the feedback of a man and a boy – my hubby and son. When the bigger one goes for seconds, sometimes thirds, I know he truly likes what I’ve cooked. He rarely talks with his mouth full. I know its…
Tomato, Parsley & Cottage Cheese Focaccia
There’s nothing like a challenge to get you going. Angie (The Novice Gardener), who already hosts the lovely Fiesta Friday link party, is throwing a monthly cooking challenge.

I first saw this dish being made by the ever-effervescent…

Refreshing Cantaloupe Honey Granita
Little Boy loved cantaloupe or musk melon as a baby. Nowadays, he turns his nose up at this humble fruit from the melon family. I love cantaloupe. But a single person can only eat so much cantaloupe, as I pondered what to do with the leftover. I saw a water melon granita recipe on Pinterest…
