🌿 Sunday on Great Island



Hey friends❣️

Happy Sunday!

I actually have a new recipe to share today, rare for a Sunday. But these little mini cheesecakes couldn't wait 'til Monday. You might even want to bake them up today ~ they need just 18 minutes in the oven!

Think creamy mocha cheesecake on a classic graham crumb base, topped with chocolate ganache and finished with a coffee whipped cream. And they fit right in the palm of your hand.

Yum's the only word for them.

This week's recipe re-test

My Mexican Street Corn salad from 2015 has to be my favorite way to eat corn, and that's saying a lot because I'm an absolute corn fanatic. The flavor combination is one of the most vivid you'll ever experience. Lime, cilantro, salty cotija cheese, and a creamy dressing to smooth it all out. It's a winner.

Charring the raw corn is the secret, I'll show you 3 ways to do it.

I love to make delicious food, photograph it, and write about it, but mostly, I just love to EAT. Isn’t that what it’s all about? My recipes are bold and vibrant, but totally approachable ~ and my philosophy? We should all have the tools to feed ourselves well, and the confidence to cut loose a little in the kitchen. Food should be fun.

~ see you at the table!

Hey friends❣️ I'm going to be honest: potluck salads can be a gamble. I don't always love playing “guess the ingredients” with a bowl that's been making the rounds all afternoon.
