i recently stayed at a cozy inn on the coast where they were featuring a homemade granola as part of their breakfast offering — there was a choice of granola sprinkled over creamy almond butter with sea salt flakes on toasted sourdough (i know, just awful) or … granola with dreamy icelandic yogurt and a swirl of tangy meyer lemon marmalade… eeek, it was the toughest decision i made all week!…

Easy & Delicious Plum Sorbet
Stone fruit season is here and our plum tree is heavy with warm fruit that fit snug into my hand; their little bodies are still partly coated with a milky covering that protects them and also makes them look adorably sleepy, like they’re slowly coming out of slumber.
