Brie and Ham Pizza {Pizza con Prosciutto Cotto e Brie}

Guava Jam Coffee Cake

The other day I came across some gorgeous and very ripe guavas. The other day was really more like a month ago. My daughter enjoys reminding me how I often refer to any thing that happened in the not so distant past as, “the other day”. 

Cornmeal Peasant Boule for Abby Dodge’s #Baketogether
