Strawberry, Basil, & Goat Cheese Focaccia This weekend has been all about getting my life in order.  The house is clean, school work is done, and roughly 40 jobs have been applied to.  I know I always say I have no clue what I want to do once I graduate IN MAY, and that is mostly true, but I've started forming some ideas - which is good, considering, you know, I have like a month left of school.  I know I want to work  with food.  I know I want to use my communications degree.  I know I want to move out of New Orleans.  I know I definitely don't want to hate whatever I'm doing.

The jobs I've applied for have been mostly in New York City.  It's definitely not my first choice of places to live - my New Orleans upbringing has made me most comfortable at about 85 degrees and 90% humidity - but it's the mecca of food publications and I'm just trying to live my dream or whatever.  I guess we'll just have to wait and see where all of this leads!  For the time being, I'm going to do my best to focus on enjoying what Louisiana has got to offer.

HA, kidding, I'm talking about strawberries!  They're here, again!  To celebrate their return I've created a little strawberry + basil + goat cheese mashup.  I originally thought about putting all of that into an upside down cake but when I started developing the recipe I literally got nauseous, which is basically the exact opposite of what I'm trying to do.  However, they work perfectly together in this focaccia, as it helps balance out the sweet and savory elements.

Two Totally Non-food related notes: This recipe is adapted from the folks over at Saveur Magazine.

Okay I know this looks like a lot of steps but really I just broke it down a bit more than I probably had to, don't be intimidated. Probably Baking, Probably in the KitchenBeauMarch 22, 2015bread, snack, topfood
