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 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

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!

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...

maple oat nut scones

Hey friends❣️ Starbucks has made a lot of questionable menu decisions over the years, but discontinuing maple oat nut scones was right up there. It was one of my earliest foodie obsessions, and looking back, I think maple had a lot to do with it. That warm, toasty, complex flavor is hard to beat.
