Pizza bianca with fresh squash blossoms I just adore squash blossom season. It’s truly one of the joys of the summer garden. Squash blossoms are one of the biggest perks of growing your own food! I promptly celebrated the first squash and zucchini blossoms of the season with a delicious pizza inspired by a dish…

Pineapple Bread
Looking for a tropical vacation in your kitchen? This pineapple bread will make you feel like you’re on island time! If you know me, you know that I loathe dry baked goods. Cannot stand them. I’m delighted to report that this pineapple bread is super moist with a wonderful tropical flavor. It’s an easy recipe…
The Most Magical Happy Hour on Earth
Every Disney lover knows that everything tastes better shaped like Mickey Mouse, so it’s no wonder I’m obsessed with my new custom-made Mickey Mouse serving bowl. Last summer my friend Irene and I went to a fabulous event at the Dallas Arboretum that featured tons of local artists. It was there we first saw Marbleized…
Authentic Italian Cappuccino
Did you know that you can make an authentic Italian cappuccino with a French press? In less than sixty seconds, you can have steamy, luscious foam for a homemade cappuccino. How do I know this? I’ve never mentioned this on The Rose Table before but in my free time I love to watch beauty videos…
Lakeside Lobster
Does dinner get more epic than this? Here’s what I love about food: I probably would not have remembered this Friday but now I always will because it’s the day my mom and I had lobster at the lake. What a special evening! My dad saw this fully cooked lobster on sale this summer and…
Loaded Focaccia

With mozzarella, homemade pesto, olives, and tomatoes, this focaccia is a dream Italian lunch. I’ve spent a lot of time this past year virtually traveling through YouTube and blogs. I was reading old Europe posts…
Haupia Pancakes
I know this is high praise, but this might be the best breakfast dish I’ve ever come up with. I had leftover Haupia (get my four-ingredient Haupia recipe here), Hawaiian coconut pudding, and decided to add some to my favorite buttermilk pancakes with toasted coconut for brunch with my mom and we agreed: most epic…
Mele Kalikimaka
Mele Kalikimaka is the thing to say on this bright Hawaiian Christmas Day I have a special place in my heart for Hawaii. My family went on vacation to Maui when I was ten and I was forever changed by the food and culture. I went from a fairly picky eater to a girl ordering…
Kalua Pork
Who doesn’t love a hands-off dinner? I wanted a traditional Hawaiian main course for my Hawaiian Christmas dinner (read about it here). Kalua Pork is a popular Christmas and Luau dish, traditionally rubbed with Hawaiian sea salt and cooked in a pit oven in the ground. We are recreating the smoky flavor of the pit…
