Happy October!

Salut! Just a short post to wish you a happy first day of October and to also let you know I added a (simple) recipe page finally – the link is on the menu above. Remember to Eat Seasonally which I think is so easy and so much fun in October. I’ll be transitioning from an apple a day to a pear a day. I ❤ pears! Especially combined with pistachios like in my Pear Pistachio Nice Cream. I think I need to make a pistachio pear macaron… what about a pear pistachio salad? Or a smoothie? Oui, oui et oui! I’ve got it! It’s Friday and you know what that means… PIZZA! Pear Pistachio Pizza! I know, I know… I think I promised a while back, no more pizza recipes, but this is too perfect!
