Welcome June!
Summer has arrived! The warmer weather is delightful! School is winding down, vacations are planned, and memories are waiting to be made.

You can open the windows and let your home breathe fresh air as you change your decor to reflect the lightness and warmth of summer. We are here to help you bring goodness, truth, and beauty to your home or cabin.

Crocheted by Mabel
If you have been in the shop lately you have probably seen these lovely items. Mabel is talented to say the least! She taught herself to crochet when she was eight and now, at twelve years of age, is making sweaters, blankets, hats, pacifier clips, and more. We just received the adorable blue bear blanket and more items are on their way. Theses are such great gifts for the little ones in your life!
Keep an eye on Instagram and Facebook for Mabel’s new items.

Recipe of the Month:
Olive Oil Cake
This is a delicious cake with relatively low saturated fat and calories for a typical slice of cake. It is a light cake served with vanilla ice cream or berries. It's excellent paired with a mediterranean-themed dinner.

Ingredients:
Cake:
245 grams all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
¾ teaspoon salt
3 large eggs
245 grams plus 2 tablespoons sugar, divided
¼ teaspoon grated lemon zest
¾ cup extra virgin olive oil
¾ cup milk

Lemon Drizzle:
1 cup powdered sugar
1–2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, or as needed

Directions:
1. Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease 9-inch springform pan. Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt together in bowl.

2. Using stand mixer fitted with whisk attachment, whip eggs on medium speed until foamy, about 1 minute. Add sugar and lemon zest, increase speed to high, and whip until mixture is fluffy and pale yellow, about 3 minutes. Reduce speed to medium and, with mixer running, slowly pour in oil. Mix until oil is fully incorporated, about 1 minute. Add half of flour mixture and mix on low speed until incorporated, about 1 minute, scraping down bowl as needed. Add milk and mix until combined, about 30 seconds. Add remaining flour mixture and mix until just incorporated, about 1 minute, scraping down bowl as needed.

3. Transfer batter to prepared pan; sprinkle remaining 2 tablespoons sugar over entire surface. Bake until cake is deep golden brown and toothpick inserted into center comes out with few crumbs attached, 40 to 45 minutes. Transfer pan to wire rack and let cool for 15 minutes. Remove side of pan and let cake cool completely, about 1 ½ hours.

4. To make the lemon drizzle: sift powdered sugar into a medium bowl. Add the lemon zest and stir to distribute it. Stir in 1 tablespoon water and as much of the lemon juice as is necessary to make a pourable icing. Pour the lemon drizzle over the top of the cake, letting it drizzle down the sides.

5. Cut into wedges and serve.

Notes:
For the best flavor, use a fresh, high-quality extra virgin olive oil Leftover cake can be wrapped in plastic wrap and stored at room temperature for up to three days. If you decide to add the lemon glaze, don't sprinkle the sugar on top before baking.

May the beginning of your summer be filled with the anticipation of longer days, slower mornings, summer breezes, and backyard barbecues. Come visit Clock & Corbel as you refresh your summer decor and prepare those small adjustments that make your home feel more beautiful.

Blessings,

Being a mom is one of the greatest realities of my life. Seeing all four of my children married and raising their own families is a reminder of all that is good, true, and beautiful. We have been truly blessed.

Wendy explains her desire for Clock & Corbel to bring goodness, truth, and beauty to the home, and how Clock & Corbel came to be.

Thoughtfully Designed Square Spice Tins
These beautifully designed square spice tins fit in your spice rack, cupboard, or drawer without wasted space. The spice is labeled on the top and the side, so regardless of where you store your spices, you can see the label. The top and side are also see-through so you always know how much spice you have. The opening is wide enough for a tablespoon. That's helpful, right? Each tin contains a half-cup of spice. We carry two curated sets, one for baking and one for savory dishes.

Ware by Maki brings handmade leather products to your home from local artisans in the Andes Mountains of Ecuador. Local to DeWitt, Ware by Maki offers knife rolls, leather accessory trays, durable, sleek wallets, and soft pouches you could use to store cosmetics or whatever else you need to carry.

Recipe of the Month:
Roasted Jalapeño Pesto
This is one of those Bobby Flay recipes that my husband makes and puts on eggs. He loves to make eggs on Saturday mornings and slather on this spicy green pesto, regardless of whether the eggs are simply scrambled or baked into a Spanish tortilla with potatoes, chorizo, and piquillo peppers. Try the recipe both ways, once with parsley and once with cilantro.

Ingredients
3 large jalapeños or 8 small jalapeños (or somewhere in between)
Canola or olive oil to coat the jalapeños
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 cups tightly packed fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves OR 1-1/2 cups tightly packed cilantro leaves
1/4 cup pine nuts
1 garlic clove, chopped
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup grated Parmigiano Reggiano cheese

Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 400ºF.

2. In a medium bowl, toss the jalapeños with a few teaspoons of canola or olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet in an even layer and roast until golden brown and charred, turning every five minutes, about 20 minutes or so. Return the jalapeños to the bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let steam for 15 minutes. Remove the stems and seeds and transfer to a food processor. No need to remove the blistered skins.

3. Add the parsley or cilantro, pine nuts, and garlic to the food processor and pulse to coarsely chop. With the motor running, add the olive oil through the feed tube and process until smooth. Scrape into a bowl, fold in the cheese, and season with salt and pepper. (Add salt, mix, taste, and repeat until it zings. You'll know.) The pesto can be stored in the refrigerator, tightly covered, for several days.

4. Put it on eggs or whatever you want. It's spicy and amazing.

We hope that you all find time to celebrate your mom this coming Sunday. We've all got one, and we can be grateful for all she's done for us. Please tell her how special she is.

Blessings,

Wendy

Happy May Day!
I remember in grade school we made paper “baskets” to put flowers in. We would then hang them on the neighbors door for a May Day gift.
The joy of giving flowers just gets better and better!
I hope you find someone who needs flowers today!
