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!

gingerbread cookies

Hey friends❣️ Yesterday I got stuck in a scroll loop and, no surprise, it was holiday cookies. As my stress level starts to climb, I have to put the phone down and remind myself that I already know exactly what works. The cookies everyone loves, and hopes I’ll make every year β€” here are five holiday cookies I never skip. (And because I can’t help myself, I’m throwing in five bonus cookies, too.) Scroll down to see this month's Recipe Roundtable winner ~ Raelene from Perth, Australia. Her...

Easy cheese appetizers with Boursin and Laughing Cow

Hey friends❣️ I think I love the quiet lead-up to the holidays even more than the big days themselves ~ especially those smaller, cozier get-togethers that happen along the way. Our Hallmark movie-night plans last weekend were derailed by the flu, which turned out to be a gift in disguise. Now I’ve got a little extra time to dial in the appetizers I love to serve buffet-style for dinner. It's my favorite way to host. Mini Cheese Ball Holiday Platter ~ just add crackers. Holiday Appetizer...

Easy December dinners ~ Bean & Bacon Soup

Hey friends❣️ You’ve probably figured it out by now ~ Christmas cookies can’t be dinner every night. I’m keeping things sane (and delicious) this month with a handful of easy dinners that practically cook themselves. White Bean and Bacon Soup I make it with canned beans when I'm strapped for time...so good! Italian Wedding Risotto ~ the family loves this and for December I make it even quicker with frozen meatballs, or instant sausage meatballs (just roll and brown!) Jamie Olivers No Yeast...
