Filed under: Feast Your Eyes, Summer During the summer months, the fresh fruit is so sweet and delicious that needs very little in order to elevate it into the realm of something very special. For the 4th of July, Allen at Eating Out Loud took ripe peaches, halved them, stuffed them with an amaretti cookie mixture and baked them. Prep time is ...

Filed under: Feast Your Eyes, Summer For the last five years, I've spent Labor Day Weekend at a summer camp on the Chesapeake Bay with a bunch of friends. The first night of camp, there is always a large bonfire and we make so many s'mores that by the end of the night everyone feels a little sick from the amount of sugar they've ingested (it's a ...

In honor of today's holiday, I bring you a patriotic dessert from blogger/photographer Lelonopo for you to really feast your eyes on. She's created a blueberry and raspberry treat that isn't as aggressively red, white and blue as that famous flag cake, but is still ...

This sparkling beverage, with bits of watermelon floating throughout and a matching straw, begs to be imitated for your Independence Day festivities (there's no recipe on the photo ...

Filed under: Vegetables, Feast Your Eyes As I've mentioned before, sugar snap peas are one of my favorite spring/summer vegetables. I like to chop them up and add them to creamy salads, like tuna, chicken or potato. However, when they're fresh, I also like nothing better than to eat them just as they are. During my teenage years, these were one of ...
