A weekend of parties, oh my! I rolled up my fairy sleeves this weekend and baked my ballet flats off. First, strawberry rhubarb pie for a surprise birthday party (the birthday boy's favorite!), and then peanut butter chocolate chip banana bread and chocolate chip oatmeal cookies for a housewarming party. I found adorable mini loaf liners for the banana bread at Surfas, and packaged up take home loaves as gift favors for the fete. Magical!
Flour is scattered about my kitchen like fairy dust as I wait for my dough to rise for a new bread recipe (baguettes for sandwiches, delicious!) and I'm planning lunches for the week to come. The farmer's market and restaurant menus across the city are unveiling their fall fare, and while it's sad to say goodbye to sunny summer tomatoes, I'm thrilled to flutter my wings toward a comfort menu perfect for the season.
Happy Monday to all, and I wish you a delicious week ahead.
