And when things are this lovely, I can’t help wanting to celebrate with something equally lovely & delicious.

This was one of those accidental dinners that happened the other night, and I must say this one’s probably going to be in regular rotation this summer (depending on avocado prices, of course). As always, it started because yours truly had a craving and would not rest until that craving was satisfied... Read More
