Our day started with good food and it ended with good food.
homegrown greens, sweet nectarine, raspberries, red onion, toasted pecans & raspberry Dijon vinaigrette
Brown Rice Pasta with Basil Avocado Pesto, Zucchini & Local Lavender Chevre
Fresh
Creamy (& garlicy!)
Organic vino for the parents
Apricot Cherry Upside-down Cake
NATURALLY
I made the dinner as a Father’s Day “gift” to my dad, but my mom took care of my birthday dessert (thank you thank you!!). Each fresh apricot is stuffed with homemade almond paste – oh, how I wish I was as talented of a baker as my mother. It was a toss-up between this recipe and cheesecake. I think I made the right choice.
Hope you enjoyed your day, Dad :)

Your food is always full of color – I love it!! Would you consider posting the recipe for the cake? It looks so good! Although I’m sure I’d have to attempt it a couple times before I got it right.
I would have to agree. You can get cheesecake pretty much anytime, but apricots stuffed with almond butter? I’ve never even heard of that, but it sounds divine.
Your mom baked that!? Recipe please!
Anything with almond paste has got to be good. That looks unbelievably tasty!
