From Scratch Marinara Sauce
Tomatoes are being harvested faster than I can use them up. My refrigerator was stocked with my homemade salsa and I needed another way to make use of the abundance of tomatoes coming my way, so I went looking for an easy marinara sauce. While I pride myself on cooking from scratch, the one thing I never really tried to make from scratch was pasta sauce.

Zucchini Noodle Lasagna
It’s the middle of summer and if you’ve planted Zucchini in your garden, I’m sure you have all the zucchini you can harvest. You have more than enough.

Whipped Cream Hearts

We also carried the dark colors throughout the kitchen by choosing antique bronze finishes for the light fixtures, hardware and faucets. The light and dark contrast really brings everything together. So happy!
