Peach & Pistachio Pavlova

OH HEY.

Here’s a thing that no one tells you about summers in your midtwenties/summers when you’re an actual working adult: they are so busy! I actually spent four weekends away from home at the beginning of this summer. The Accountant hasn’t been home in over five weeks at this point.

What I’m trying to say is that it’s almost August and I don’t really understand how that happened because yesterday it was May I swear.

If you can’t tell, I’m kind of flying by the seat of my pants right now. You know what helps me feel in control and capable?

Buttermilk Cornbread with Peaches

Guest post: Peach and Toasted Pecan Cake with Peach Cream Cheese Frosting

Ok, be jealous.  I’m still at the beach.  I do love beach hair, although it’s really starting to smell like seaweed.  (Don’t freak out, I do shower here…it’s just kind of soaking into my hair.)  So far, no sunburn!  Since I’m still busy tracking a trail of sand wherever I go, Ryan of the lovely Ryan Bakes has so kindly offered up our second guest post of the week!  As you can read on her blog (as you should read on her blog, which you should be reading everyday), she’s part Southern and part Italian…and these are two of my favorite food groups.  Everything she bakes makes me hungry and sad that I only baked cookies, when I could have made this or this.  Today, she has made us the most summery, delicious looking cake ever.  Be sure to check out her blog and all of her other delicious recipes!  Thank you, thank you, thank you Ryan for writing this fabulous post for us!
