The Flavor is Beyond Words...πŸ’œ

Published almost 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!

Spring Wreath Salad

Hey friends❣️ I saw someone make a wreath salad on TikTok the other day and I was charmed by the way it comes together. The trick is so simple but I'd never thought to arrange a salad like this. It's the perfect nod to Earth Day. And can I just say, flaky Maldon sea salt on hard cooked eggs...nirvana. Spring Wreath Salad see how it comes together Another favorite of mine is an absolute showstopper. Cowboy caviar is gorgeous, but also healthy and absolutely irresistible. I use the kitchen tool...

Queen Elizabeth's Favorite Biscuit Cake

Hey friends❣️ Happy Sunday! It’s been a wild week here in Madison. The tornado sirens sounded more than once (and at all hours), so I’m in regroup mode today. The dogwoods and magnolias are blooming, but the weather roulette wheel landed on cold yet again today. So Sunday dinner is a cozy combo of brats in caramelized sauerkraut and my famous apple butter bourbon baked beans. Full disclosure: the bourbon is a new tweak, add 1/4 cup :) Also this week ~ it would have been Queen Elizabeth II’s...
