Fresh Apricot Scones with Ginger and White Chocolate Chunks

My brother and sister-in-law had a bumper crop of apricots this year and kindly shared some of their harvest with me. For the most part, I’ve been eating the fruit raw as a snack. However, I used a few pieces to bake a batch of fresh apricot scones with ginger and white chocolate chunks yesterday morning.

Summer Fruit Galette with a Cornmeal Crust

What do you do when you come home from the City with nearly 20 pounds of peaches, six pints of strawberries and two baskets of tayberries? Bake a summer fruit galette! At least that’s what I did after visiting the Ferry Plaza Farmers Market over the weekend. 

Turkey Enchiladas with Roasted Poblano Sauce

I am so ready for a vacation. And guess what? I’m headed to Europe in less than two weeks! London, Brussels, Amsterdam and Barcelona … here I come!

Pad Thai with Tofu

I’ve been eating oodles of noodles lately – five kinds within the past week, to be exact. On Friday, a friend prepared jajangmyeon for the two of us (using my favorite store-bought products). And in the evening, we feasted on pho and garlic noodles at Sup Noodle Bar in Cerritos.

Pizza Star Bread

What a fun, busy weekend! The activities kicked off Friday evening with a delicious dinner at Sirayvah Organic Thai, a new find in San Carlos. I woke up early the next morning to prepare Ethiopian spiced lamb stew and couscous and then headed to the City to have lunch at the Ferry Plaza Farmers Market (a classic mana’eesh from Reem’s).

Orange Ricotta Scones with Dark Chocolate Chunks

If you prepare the onion frittata with roasted tomatoes I posted about a month ago, you’ll likely have some ricotta left over. Don’t let it go to waste! Use the surplus cheese to make these orange ricotta scones with dark chocolate chunks.
