The air is heady and sweet, greeting us as we turn into the driveway, painting our thoughts purple. It is the scent of bubblegum and ice blocks and lollies, the scent associated with most grape-flavoured childhood treats, yet not usually with real grapes. We stand in the middle of the wide green yard, taking in the vineyard's proud perfume for a moment before we wave absentmindedly back at the farmhouse and head for the leafy rows. Dodging dogs, skipping over patches of poison ivy … [Read more...]
Cape Cod Kale Salad
Salad is a simple act. A few fresh vegetables washed in cool water. A sharp knife slicing effortlessly through crisp leaves. A tangy dressing thrown together with what's on hand. The first bite is refreshing after days of excess. The second is calming and reassuring. A return to clean simplicity, shared with family over the sound of old stories, squealing children and end of summer breezes. I probably should have made another batch for the second half of our trip … [Read more...]

A peek at something I’ve been working on…
It's no secret things have been a bit quiet around here lately and if you follow 84th on various social media you would have seen little snippets of an enormous project I was working on from the end of July until just a few days ago. I mentioned that I'd edited, photographed and published a mini-cookbook for Jackie M back in June and July, but in the midst of wrapping that project we were already knee deep in the next one -- a digital magazine! What started as project management … [Read more...]
Concord Grape Curd & Vegan Meringue Pie Parfaits
Well now isn't that a mouthful in more ways than one. I mentioned that we are off on another adventure, however as the first two weeks of our trip involved hanging out in Cape Cod with my extended family, followed by a week at Mom's farm in upstate NY, it was nearly impossible to keep me out of the kitchen. I found myself whipping up salads and cakes and more salads along the way so figured I may as well pull out a slightly unusual twist for this month's Sweet Adventures Blog … [Read more...]
Berry Banana Smoothie, a Dairy-free & Vegan Guest Post
After months of watching other people head off on holidays, RJ and I are finally taking a break and making our way through America-land for a few weeks. In my absence the lovely Claire is here to ply you with treats. You may remember Claire from a few months back when I guest posted over on her site - she was one of those aforementioned holidaying people - and it's great to have her here. Thanks again! (Oh, and if you want to follow our eating adventure holiday, Instagram is probably … [Read more...]
