We are now the proud owners of a REAL dining room table! Thank you Emmor Works!
Now that we have a dining room table we can host dinner parties! A few weeks ago we had some friends over for Friday night dinner. I was struggling to think of something new for dessert. ย For my birthday this year my in laws treated us to dinner at one of my favorite restaurants in Warren, New Jersey,ย Stone House at Stirling Ridge. After a delicious dinner, I ordered a slice of their olive oil cake for dessert. It was outstanding. I knew I had to try to replicate it at home. This dinner seemed like my perfect opportunity!
I searched online and foundย Melissa d’Arabian’s Orange Olive Oil Cakeย recipe and decided to give it a shot. It was AMAZING! I had to tweak the recipe a bit because I was serving a meat meal (and I couldn’tย mix meat and milk). See the adapted recipe below!
