I was grocery shopping and the most vibrant rhubarb caught my eye. The stalks were SO uniformly red and beautiful. I often get inspired at the store or market, with no advance plan but seasonal ingredients are my favorite impulse buy. I decided to use the rhubarb as a topping for this panna cotta tart that I tweaked slightly here. The rhubarb was roasted with sugar, lemon and vanilla bean before arranging them in a herringbone pattern on top of the tart. They become nice and tender but still have some bite. Enjoy!

For Easter brunch at home with my family, our menu is mostly savory with scrambled eggs, hash browns, sausage and a giant, cheesy Dutch baby for sharing. To finish, I like having something bright and refreshing, which brings me to this lemon tart. I always have a variety of C&H® Sugars in my pantry to play with and I use two for this showstopping dessert.

These peanut butter thumbprint cookies are a classic. I first made them while recipe-testing the Baked Occasions Cookbook and authors Matt Lewis and Renato Poliafito kindly allowed me to share the recipe with you. It’s one of my favorites from the book.

I’ve compiled a list of my favorite pantry staple recipes, from friends, chefs and websites I frequently visit. I’ve made these dishes over and over and they turn out great every time. I hope these inspire you to get in the kitchen, my happy place. Take care.

I have been wanting to try Flour Bakery’s sticky buns recipe. I first discovered the iconic pastry watching an episode of Throwdown with Bobby Flay and Chef Joanne Chang won. I have yet to visit the Boston bakery, so, until then, this recipe will give me a taste of what I’m missing.
