The Flavor is Beyond Words...💜


Hey friends❣️

After 15 years of professional recipe development I don't think I've ever come across a more vibrant flavor...

Black Raspberry Vinaigrette

It's berry picking season and I'm sharing a few recipes that can be made with just a handful or two of your precious finds.

The rhythm of summer produce is so satisfying. We're not ready for stone fruits or ripe melons just yet, but oh, the berries! If you're lucky enough to be able to pick your own, it's the ultimate experience, and these recipes won't deplete your hard earned stash.

Are you plucking your fruit from the produce aisle? No worries, that works too!

Using berries as a garnish is one way to make use of small amounts of perfect fruit:

These individual desserts can be customized to any size:

More fun recipes that require just a handful of berries!

Sweet Corn Polenta with Shrimp 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

My husband loves creamed corn and polenta, so when I saw this beautiful recipe, I had to try it. We loved it! We kept going back to the kitchen for snitches 🙂 after our dinner. We are so thankful there are leftovers for lunch the next day! Thank you for a wonderful recipe!
I also liked the idea of using whole milk to keep the polenta creamy.

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!

spring vanilla bean cheesecake

Hey friends❣️ As we roll through spring, it’s like a train with very few stops: Mother’s Day, then Memorial Day, and then it barrels straight into summer. My work keeps me hyper-aware of every micro-season and the need to make the most of each one. Vanilla bean cheesecake is my take on early spring: clean, classic, and finished with whatever’s blooming outside.
