Raspberry and Rhubarb Crostata
This was my very first time making a crostata, and I quickly discovered the advantages over a pie. With a pie, you have to worry about making your crust pretty, but since a crostata is supposed to look “rustic,” it’s totally fine for the crust to be a bit pretty messy. Also, you don’t need to […]
Make a Copper Bead Necklace

Grapefruit Arnold Palmer
The recipe I adapted this from called it a Leland Palmer, which, as a Twin Peaks fan, I definitely appreciate. Whatever you call it, though, it’s a delicious spin on the classic Arnold Palmer drink with lemonade and iced tea. This refreshing version features grapefruit, and green tea instead of regular iced tea. I used […]
