The Flavor is Beyond Words...๐Ÿ’œ


Hey friendsโฃ๏ธ

After 15 years of professional recipe development I don't think I've ever come across a more vibrant flavor...

โ€‹Black Raspberry Vinaigretteโ€‹

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!

โ€‹Sweet Corn Polenta with Shrimp ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ

โ€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 ๐Ÿ™‚ 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. Isnโ€™t that what itโ€™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!

olive oil granola

Hey friendsโฃ๏ธ I'm not gonna lie, I love a little dessert for breakfast once in a while. You can see that in my breakfast recipe collection: so many scones, coffee cakes, and muffins to choose from. But I balance that with healthier choices, especially now that spring is here. Mediterranean Olive Oil Granola get the recipe Granola gets a bad rap because of the added oil, but here I use olive oil and the result is not only heart healthy but surprisingly delicious! You can use a mild or pure oil...

Marinated Hummus Platter

Hey friendsโฃ๏ธ Happy Sunday! Last Sunday everybody bailed on dinner at the last minute, so we found ourselves with a feast for two that carried us through the next few days. There are worse dinner emergencies, I have to admit. Not everything I test makes it to publication, but this marinated hummus platter absolutely will. Itโ€™s colorful, fresh, and so good with warm pita bread or baked pita chips ~ it could easily be dinner. Keep an eye out for it this week. Featured recipe re-test My Glazed...

cherry tomato salad

knead Hey friendsโฃ๏ธ It's official. Winter's gone. Break out your salad bowls and your paper plate collection. Exhale... This is the moment we all start cooking like itโ€™s summer, even though the garden is still catching up. Thereโ€™s a disconnect between whatโ€™s actually growing in May and what the supermarket is trying to sell us. So donโ€™t go near those big tomatoes yet, theyโ€™re a trap! Stick with little cherry tomatoes this month ~ theyโ€™re almost always good. Happy May! Cherry Tomato Caprese...
