I’ve always been a fan of a great at-home bar. I strongly believe it’s a must-learn life skill to mix up classic cocktails, and as an avid host, it’s important to provide an array...
Looking back on Easter as a child, I remember how excited I was to dig through my Easter basket. Full of chocolate bunnies, malt ball Easter eggs, Peeps, golden coins, and my favorite Cadbury...
Lets be honest, salads can be boring. So I’m always trying to think outside of the box to come up with salad recipes that I’ll thoroughly enjoy, but are beyond easy to make. Enter...

Ahhhh pizza. One of the most perfect creations to every grace our plate. But with warm weather officially here, my pizza tastes change a bit. I want something a tad more fresh, a tad lighter, and definitely a pizza that can be made on the grill (or rather Big Green Egg in our case). I promise I’ll be sharing my homemade creations with you soon, as I still haven’t perfected my perfect pie yet, but until then here’s the slices I’m currently craving. Tell me have you had any good pizza pies lately? xo
Living in the land of peaches I find myself always looking for new ways to cook and bake with this summer time stone fruit. I’ve done cobbler, ice cream, muffins, pies, etc., but I hadn’t done a tart. Tarts can be somewhat tricky. That pesky perfection of crust aspect and all. But not rustic tarts. Rustic tart’s beauty actually lies in the imperfect. And let me tell you rustic tarts you have currently stolen my heart. And this tart, my peach and blueberry rustic tart, well it may not look perfect but it tastes pretty dang close. So roll out some dough, whip up some homemade ice cream, and cut a slice of what can only be described as Southern Summer in your mouth. Porch swing and sweet tea not included. truly, MKR
1/3-1/2 granulated sugar (depending on how sweet/ripe your fruits are)
1/4 tsp. salt
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 large egg, for egg wash
Sanding Sugar
Vanilla Ice Cream, for serving
Instructions
For the pie crust...
Sift flour and salt into mixing bowl.
Cut in shortening, using a pastry blender or knife until mixture is the size of small peas.
Sprinkle water a little at a time over mixture stirring lightly with fork until dough is just moist enough to hold together.
Wrap in saran wrap and refrigerate for at least an hour. Pie dough can be made and refrigerated 2 days in advance.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and then parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl lightly mix together fruit, sugar, lemon juice, salt, cornstarch, and cinnamon
Roll out pie dough on a well floured surface (approximately 13 inches round, 1/8 inch thick). Transfer to your baking sheet and arrange fruit mixture in center leaving a 2 inch border.
Fold over border, leaving the center open.
Brush crust with egg wash and sprinkle with sanding sugar.
Bake until golden brown, 50-60 minutes. Let cool on baking sheet 10 minutes then slice and serve with vanilla ice cream.

No. 1 –Porch Living. Because I live in the South and because it’s summer this book was a no brainer.
No. 2 –Killing Kennedy. While I’m not a fan of Bill O’Reilly I’m quite obsessed with the Kennedy family and I’ve heard this book will only fuel my obsession.
No. 7 –Juice It. It may be a fad for some, but I’m a big fan of juicing and this book has some fabulous recipes.
No. 8 –The Catcher in the Rye. I got sucked in to the most interesting PBS documentary on J.D. Salinger the other night which has now made me determined to go back and read all of his novels.
No. 9 –Alice in Tumblr Land. The most hilarious read for any of us navigating the digital world.
