Spice of Life

I'm a fan of variety. I definitely have my favorites, but I like mixing it up some too.

Take peach pie, for example. Perhaps not my absolute favorite, but when peaches are juicy and sweet, how can you go wrong with a lovely pie to change things up a little?

While I often feel a little less inspired to cook in the summer, I still love to pore over my cookbooks looking for inspiration and all the recipes I have yet to try that sound tasty. Funny that I do feel a little lacking in inspiration given the bounty of beautiful fresh fruit and veggies. But, these are usually so good, there's no cooking required. I am also a lousy griller, an area of cuisine that is so welcome in the warm days of summer. Baking is one area that I never feel lacking in ideas and while I sure love chocolate chip cookies, there are so many other kinds of cookies to try! Who knows but that new favorites might be found in the process of all this experimentation?
