The Flavor is Beyond Words...πŸ’œ

Published about 2 years agoΒ β€’Β 1 min read

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!

Mulberry muffins

Hey friends❣️ Coming across fleeting summer fruit is one of the great joys of summer. It could be a pint of perfect strawberries at the farmers market, a backyard mulberry tree, or a black raspberry bush discovered on a hike. These are treasures not to be passed up. A couple of handfuls of berries is all you need to make something you’ll think about long after the season is over. You could eat them out of hand, or drop them into your morning yogurt, but I’ve got a better idea... Mulberry...

Green Goddess Cocktail

Hey friends❣️ Happy Sunday! I was on dog duty last night so no fabulous fireworks to report on, but that's ok. Sitting on the couch with a glass of wine and occasionally patting a trembling pup felt like the right place to be. July has never been my favorite month, I wilt in the sun and heat, but at least there's lots of culinary creativity to be found, even in cocktails! Like this Green Goddess Cocktail we had at dinner the other night: Effen Cucumber Green Chartreuse Dolin Blanc pineapple...
