Fresh Pesto with Tomatoes and a Poached Egg...summer is almost here!!

California really is a beautiful place to live, and while Fall is ultimately my favorite season because of its beauty and colors. Spring and Summer are a close second and third because of the wonderful foods that explode out of these seasons!! There is nothing like gardening and growing your own fresh herbs and vegetables. Or eating farm fresh eggs.

This morning I made a wonderful homemade pesto with fresh organic basil I picked up from the farmers market, garlic, tomatoes and farm fresh eggs!! I love egg with fresh pesto and that moment when you dig your fork and knife into that yolk and it oozes out and the pesto and yolk meet each other for the first time.....mmmmm!! Then throw fresh sweet vine ripened tomatoes into the mix and your taste buds will certainly be doing a happy waddlelyatcha and doodley do!!

Enjoy your day!!

Marshmallow Fondant....so easy a caveman can do it...






I made these two cakes back on January 31st for my oldest son and my grandma. They share that day as their birthday!! This is approximately the fourth time Ive used this fondant recipe and it seems to get easier and easier every time.
So obviously I made the blue one for my son and the purple one for my grandma. I love the way blue and brown goes together!! I put the link for the website that has the recipe for the fondant....its got a lot of ingredients....lol!! Don't be 'scerd' if I can do it....so can you!! You will be amazed at the things you can do with fondant!!
