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!

Thai recipes

Hey friends❣️ It's that sticky time of year that cries out for Thai food. I've lived in very hot places, and very cold places, and I have to say it's the heat that's harder to deal with. During a long hot spell like this I always turn to my Thai recipe collection for relief. The flavors are refreshing and bold, with lots of acidity and fresh herbs~ from classic tom kha soup and Thai salad to a fun Americanized Thai spaghetti salad and lots more. Let's definitely do Thai tonight! Thai Inspired...

cherry almond skillet cake

Hey friends❣️ I love to cook in my cast iron skillet. It gives everything an instant grandma chic. Plus the pan holds heat so well ~ the edges of this cherry cake get a little extra crunch while the center stays soft and scoop-able. We're in high cherry season, so take advantage! Cherry Almond Skillet Cake get the recipe I bake everything from apple cake to cheesy meatballs in the same Lodge 10" cast iron skillet.

champagne currants

Hey friends❣️ Happy Sunday! I hope you all had a nice week. Somehow, for the first time in my life, I’ve become a garden person! It started last fall, when we tore out all the grass in our front yard and turned it into a woodland garden with a winding flagstone path. This summer has been all about filling it in, although the deer and rabbits seem to think we planted the whole thing for them. It’s been a lot of trial and error. (Please hit reply with any advice!) My neighbor is leaving town...
