Peach Prosciutto Burrata Salad

I am not going to claim this recipe as a 100% original thought – I have seen many people putting together similar flavor combinations with peaches being a huge foodie vibe this summer.

Heirloom Tomato Tart

I love tomatoes and I wanted to make something that really highlights them in all their deliciousness. I wanted something simple, yet elevated enough that I could serve it at a party and appear to be fancy! The key here is buying puff pastry dough already made – if you do that, then this recipeContinue reading “Heirloom Tomato Tart”
