Pesto Pasta with tomatoes and spinach

Pesto Alfredo Pasta

When I first made this recipe, I had an idea with what I wanted the finished product to taste like, but I didn't have any instructions to get there. You'll notice that a lot of the ingredients don't really have any amounts or measurements.

A lot of these ingredients, like the tomatoes and onions, I just love, so I probably added more than the average person would. If I were cooking it for more than just...

Bread cornucopia with fresh fruit

Homemade Bread Cornucopia

It was so fun to make this cornucopia! I love recipes that look like they were a lot of trouble to make, but they were actually really easy.

I decided to create a nice tablescape to go around that plaid tablecloth since I just love the red, green, and gold color. I purchased a local crafting/pottery store after Christmas a few years ago, because discounts are the best and everything goes on sale...

Honey Caviar

Honey Caviar

While I was scrolling through Pinterest I came across this pin from Cookistry on how to make your own honey caviar. I had tried just a little bit of actual caviar in the past, but I certainly didn't have the means or funds to get more of it for my cooking now. I was definitely interested in...
