For some reason I LOVE broccoli. I don’t know where I get it from- must be some recessive broccoli-loving gene, cause neither of my parents like it as much as I do. I just think it’s really versatile and I love the way it looks- especially after you blanch it, the color is such a …

This past week was my Daddy’s birthday! His favorite fruit, correction- favorite berry is the strawberry. And I know he loves strawberry shortcake. So I decided to go the traditional route and make a classic Strawberry Shortcake with fresh whipped cream, macerated strawberries and a rich shortcake. Yes, I know traditional is not really in …
