The Flavor is Beyond Words...πŸ’œ


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 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

β€œ
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!

basil for pesto

Hey friends❣️ Happy Sunday! This Sunday message is going to be on the short side...I got my 2nd shingles vaccine yesterday and I'm having a pretty strong reaction (I just want to sleep.) But first, I harvested basil this week! Mine came from my daughter's garden, but there is still lots of top quality basil about, not only in gardens and farmers markets ~ but the basil you'll find in your grocery store will be at its best too. Now is the time to put some fresh pesto in the freezer. Freeze it...

blueberry muffins

Hey friends❣️ Personally, I try not to have dessert most days. I do so much test baking (and tasting) that I can’t really justify any extra. But I’ll make an exception at breakfast. (I have the whole day to burn it off, right?) I adore scones, coffee cakes, crumb cakes, and breakfast cakes of all kinds. Basically I'm a dessert for breakfast girl. And muffins? Less decadent, more homey, a little retro ~ and suddenly they’re having a moment. I say bring ’em on. get the recipes What you're...
