It's that Michigan Moment in June when the two day rainstorm has finally subsided and the air is as hot and heavy as a wet wool sweater and the sun is trying to break through the sky. The only sounds are the guitar strums from the upstairs window and the laughter of the girls in the pool two doors down. The tastes you are craving are the fresh cold berries from the market and the abundance of mint growing in your garden all dripping in fresh lime juice and a splash of rum as you sit on the still wet porch to peruse an old favorite book about summer, all while waiting for dusk. Because with this heat, and this humidity, tonight could be the night that the fireflies make their first appearance of the season.

Rice Pudding with Caramel Pecan Topping
And you thought winter was over? Psych! My days of hot, rich, and sweet comfort foods have not yet ended. Enter Rice pudding with Caramel Pecan Sauce. It is perfect as a breakfast or a dessert.
If you can't be warm on the outside, at least you can be warmed on the inside! Recipe to follow. I started with a googled recipe from The Pioneer Woman and veered away to wing it on my own. Like always :)
Color Colour Lovers and Orange
in Projects
Here is the next series in the ColorColourLovers Instagram challenge, Orange! It seemed orange would be hard to find, but once we started hunting it was everywhere, and I didn't even get to the carrots...
Holy Guacamole
I solemnly swear that knowing how to make a good fresh guacamole is the secret to a long happy life. My kids will go off to college with at least this skill in their back pockets. Those ingredients down there? Chop them and mix them and mash them and taste them until they are perfect. Bonus points for extra salt and lime juice.
