​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 πŸ™‚ 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!

Hey friends❣️ Happy Sunday! So what is going on with our food system? I don't even know what to trust anymore, and my shopping options have been shrinking. Usually, food recalls are pretty mundane ~ like a batch of cookies missing a peanut or dairy allergy warning. What’s happening right now is completely different. We’re seeing a surge in truly dangerous bacteria like Listeria and Salmonella. E Coli in frozen berries? Yuck. And because our food system is so interconnected, one bad batch of...

Gut healthy recipes

Hey friends❣️ Yogurt is great for the gut, but it's not the only food that helps keep our digestions running smoothly. From miso to beans, nuts, chilled starches, and highly colored fruits and vegetables, foods that are good for your gut can show up in some pretty unexpected places. I've pulled out some fun recipes to prove my point. So, yes to yogurt, but so much more.

Smoked trout salad sandwich

Hey friends❣️ It's only been super recently that my husband Grant came around to the idea that a sandwich could be dinner. I'm so glad, because where I come from a sandwich is an ideal dinner, especially as summer winds down. I'll start with my latest, which may not appeal to all of you, but if you know, you definitely know. And then I'll share a few favorites that might touch off the age old question, what counts as a sandwich, anyway? Is an open faced sandwich really a sandwich? What about...
