The Daily Eat: Mushroom Bruschetta + Mushroom Roundup.
Mushrooms aren’t something you’d normally think to pair with a baguette. But that’s exactly what’s done in this recipe for Mushroom Bruschetta. And according to the write-up it’s a dynamic duo!

I’m quite literally salivating as I look at this Warm Strawberry Crumb Cake. Cake batter mixed with fresh strawberries and baked until the fruit is all warm and jam-like… what’s not to love?

My grandmother is a pro at chiffon pies, which is quite possibly why they’re really the only type of pie that I like. Her specialties were peach and strawberry, but I’m thinking this Apricot Chiffon Pie is worth a shot, too!

Fridays are quickly turning into my favorite day for The Daily Eat – I love sharing all these extra recipes with you!
Tequila Lime Shrimp is one of those dishes that so easy and tastes so good that you’ll want to lie about it and say it’s a recipe you picked up while summering in Mexico. But we’ll both know the truth.

Posted In recipes, round upUp until May 1999 I had heard of Cinco de Mayo, but never celebrated the day. That was my first year in Oklahoma and it became evident rather quickly that this wasn’t just another ordinary day. Restaurants host outdoor tent parties, people hold backyard fiestas and it’s all about the food and being together. With that in mind, I set about putting together this roundup of eats and drinks. (And oh, those lovely banners in the above photo are available here. via Simple Lovely)
