Serves 6 as a personal appetizer or it can be used as a spread on crostini or savory scones.

Toss with cooked, hot, drained pasta or spread on crostini and top with crisp smoky bacon. Delicioso

While we are patiently waiting for the summer season in Door county, it’s easy to fantasize about sitting in sunshine along the turquoise waters of the Mediterranean Sea. Dream away and when you come back to reality, brew yourself some mint tea or coffee and enjoy this orange and olive oil cake.

It’s a little hard to tell which is sweeter: Kathy or the goodies she bakes. Try her delicious recipe for Creme Brulee.


This recipe is endlessly riffable. Use any combination of cheese and herbs. 

Of course these need to be served with real butter and real maple syrup. My children grew up on these and maybe yours will too!
