Flowers, peaches, and a little bit of cake. That’s a perfect summer scene right there! 🍑 Sweet Peach Buckle A buckle is more like a cake than a crisp or cobbler, and it’s almost too easy to make. Loaded with fresh peaches that are juicy and sweet, this butter cake bakes up a bit and then ‘buckles’ as it cools. The end result is an ooey gooey vanilla and cinnamon scented cake with soft peachy layers. Yum! 🎉Grab the recipe for FREE on my Substack now.

PREACH 🙌🏻 @sociallysands Creating on Social Media really boils down to two things; sharing your creativity and building a community. It takes less time to hit that Like button than it does to scroll past. 🤯 Share a little love, make a few connections, and help the creators we enjoy gain momentum & visibility. ❤️ Hit Like, Follow, or Share with a friend if you agree! It ain’t easy out there, but if we show some kindness with likes/follows/shares, we all benefit from making connections and finding inspiration in other people’s beautiful works. 😇 #straighttothehipsbaby #communityovercompetition #foodblog #foodphotographer #tvfood #cookbookauthor #cookbookcorner #socialmediastrategy #tvsegment #morningshows #nbc #brandidentity #seasonsaroundthetable #momswhoblog #recipeblog #elegantstyle

The summer sun is a welcome sight after today’s rainstorms in the hills of Massachusetts. I’m back to work after a lovely visit to Montreal & Ottawa, Canada, and filled to the brim with new food inspiration. A decadent anniversary dinner @joebeef was one of the highlights of our Montreal stay! If you ever want to dig into dishes that feed your soul just as much as your stomach, this is the place! Inspired by their use of bold flavors and sauces… I started playing around in the kitchen ❤️ more soon. #straighttothehipsbaby #seasonsaroundthetable #cookbookcollector #foodwriter #canadiancreatives #montrealfood #cookbookauthor
