I’m not going to lie. When I go to a restaurant and there’s a Caesar salad on the menu, 9 times out of 10, I’m going to order it. It’s one of my all-time favorite salads to eat. So when Safeway and Boar’s Head approached me to partner for the new Boar’s Head FireSmith^™ Flame Grilled Chicken Breast, I knew that it would work beautifully in a chicken Caesar salad inspired sandwich. The Boar’s Head FireSmith^™ chicken is seasoned and then cooked over an open flame, giving it a grilled flavor that works perfectly with a quick homemade Caesar dressing and griddle toasted garlic bread.

Let’s talk a moment about one of my all-time favorite stone-fruits, peaches. There have been books written about love of honey-sweet juicy peaches. And there’s nothing that makes me happier than taking the first bite out of a perfectly ripe peach. I often buy huge amounts of peaches when I see them arrive at the store since peach season can be fleeting. So not only am I eating them out of hand, but I’m making desserts like peach slab pie, caramel peach upside down cake, my bellini peach cobbler with strawberry biscuits, and my peach and blueberry coffee cake. But this cinnamon sugar topped southern peach cobbler is a streamlined classic recipe that hits all the right notes, with an easy-to-make soft fluffy drop biscuit topping and a sprinkling of cinnamon sugar topping that brings out the peach flavor.

Fruit galettes are one of the easiest desserts you can make. They are minimal effort with maximum reward; a pretty and rustic dessert that almost always impresses folks. I’ve made and shared fruit galette and tart recipes on this blog, like my strawberry rhubarb galette, my plum galette , my mead poached pear galette, my mixed berry galette with chocolate crust, my mixed berry tart with corn crust. But there’s always room for one more galette, like this luscious easy blueberry galette!

A few years ago, I made rainbow chocolate chip cookies and they were a huge hit with friends and on social media. But the technique for coloring the dough is pretty versatile and can be adapted for so many other cookies and designs! In fact, I took the same principle and made peppermint red-striped white chocolate cookies. And this time I decided to take the same cookie base and a similar technique and made these patriotic red, white, and blue cookies. They’re pretty stunning to serve up and absolutely fun to make as well as fun to eat! And though they look complicated to make, I give step-by-step instructions, as well as a video in this post, so watch carefully and you’ll see it’s not as difficult at is looks.

Psychedelic Rainbow Cheesecake Brownies

These psychedelic rainbow cheesecake brownies are a vibrant version of regular cheesecake brownies but only take a little more time to make!

Though I was late to the rainbow bandwagon (which is surprising as a gay man), in the past few years I’ve fully embraced baking rainbow goods, especially when it comes to June which is Pride month. I’ve made rainbow chocolate chip cookies and rainbow layer cake with chocolate frosting. And I’ve even made rainbow rice krispie treats for my friends over at Simply Recipes.

But rainbows are an all-year and anytime sort of thing! Especially when it comes to these super fun, psychedelic-inspired rainbow cheesecake brownies. They’re based on my favorite easy fudge brownie recipe, and similar to my Neapolitan cheesecake brownies, but with the added bonus of a brightly colored fun cheesecake swirled on top. Once you set them out, expect your friends and family to swoon over them.

Though my strawberry rhubarb pie is a classic in my household when Spring comes around and rhubarb appears in the store, I’m going to tell you that blueberry rhubarb pie might possibly edge out other rhubarb-based pies in my playbook. It’s not a combo that a lot of folks know but I’ve been matching the two for years, as I love how the tart sour rhubarb works so well with the earthy sweet blueberries. Years ago I made a sour cream blueberry and rhubarb pie inspired by a wedding of a college friend, I’ve adapted a recipe from a friend of mine’s cookbook to make blueberry rhubarb oatmeal bars, and I’ve shared an excellent berry rhubarb slab pie on this blog a few years ago for a gathering I attended up in Sonoma.

It was at a recent agricultural farm tour in the Temecula valley for California Grown, that I was inspired to make this pie. There, I got a chance to learn all about the region, which is about an hour north of San Diego. There they produce over 50 varietals grapes for over 40 different wineries. Beyond the wine tasting we visited hillsides of gorgeous protea flowering plants grown by the Rese ndiz Brothers, and had a chance to pick blueberries right off the bush at Fairfield farms, an organic farm that grows blueberries and avocados. It was these blueberries, which ripen earlier than other summertime blueberries in the California due to the unique climate of Pauma Valley where their farm is, reminded me that I could pair them with springtime rhubarb to make this luscious blueberry rhubarb pie, otherwise known as the bluebarb pie.
