I’m offering a two-part series of recipes and tips for making the easiest and best custard and creme brulee, in the comfort of your own home. This four ingredient, pure and simple classic, has been a staple in my professional work for the last decade. The way that I typically make custard, calls for whole cow milk, and no vanilla or added flavorings – much like how I show you here. The best part is, you do not need any additional or professional tools to make the brulee happen, as I the top is “torched” and set, with the use of your oven on the broil setting.

creme brulee: made with dairy-free, no-bake custard
Four simple ingredients come together to make custard so amazing, it can be enjoyed on it’s own, or torched for creme brulee. I absolutely love my easiest dairy-free, no-bake recipe, using coconut cream, and share my notes for making this most-loved dessert with any type of cow/alternative milk or cream you’d like, so that you can have a beautiful and delicious result every time. Once you have this custard down, all you need is a torch to brulee it.
coleslaw with pulled-pork for sliders
I’m sharing my “rad” coleslaw, paired with pulled-pork for sliders. This is a meal that my family gets excited about. I tend to bring it into our dinner-rotation when hotter weather starts to kick-in or when we’re watching sports on tv together. These two easy recipes are full of flavor and have everything you want in this meal: tender, juicy, melt in your mouth pork, paired with a fresh and crisp salad that is sauced with just the right amount of acidity and kick.
lilacs and roses for Nonna
It felt so amazing to make a special floral arrangement for my mom, to celebrate Mother’s Day. It was a gift for me to even have my hands on fresh flowers during quarantine! It has been a while! I swooped up some of her all-time favorite flowers: Lilacs, Roses and Dusty Miller.
lemon bars
If life gives you lemons, make Lemon Bars! Lemon bars are a total classic, and a from-scratch essential for my personal and work-related baking. If you have a lemon-lover in your life, you need these bars! Shortbread is laid out to the bottom, and fresh lemon curd is poured over the top. It’s chilled to-set, cut, and absolutely devoured. If you have a moment to dust a little powdered sugar on top, go for it. Either way, this is a keeper of a recipe, and one that you and anyone who gets to enjoy them, will love for all-time.
