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 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

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!

Tomato Tart!

Hey friends❣️ I've got the gardening bug this year. But I stick to herbs, maybe some baby lettuce, and flowers. I leave tomatoes to the professionals ;) French Tomato Tart with Press in Crust! This is my kind of recipe, it's so do-able. As one reader recently said "deceptively simple and completely delicious!" I think that fits my style perfectly. The tomatoes and light cheese filling are the stars of this tart, but it's that press-in crust that knocks it out of the park. πŸ… (I love this crust...

icebox cakes

Hey friends❣️ How's your summer going? I always feel like the 4th of July divides the season ~ we've just slid into high summer with more heat, more bugs, and more weeds. But this is when the magic happens ~ bring on the fireflies, ripe tomatoes, and icebox cakes! Banana Pudding Icebox Cake Bananas are one of those season-less ingredients that find their way into our favorite recipes no matter what the calendar says. My Almond Flour Banana Cake is welcome on a warm summer night and there's...

Berry recipes

Hey friends❣️ July is prime time for berry baskets, roadside stands, and U-pick farms! I really enjoy sitting down in the morning to send out these emails to you guys ~ we reach all corners of the globe, which is mind boggling. And all of you have your own unique experience with berries, some I've probably never heard of. But whether you've got good old fashioned wild blueberries, or cloudberries, lingonberries, black currants, or gooseberries, you can usually swap them out in any of these...
