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 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

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!

Asian slaw

Hey friends❣️ As the season moves forward, I’m relying more and more on interesting salads topped with some sort of protein for dinner. It ticks all my boxes: it’s relatively easy, can be prepped ahead, it’s satisfying, and I feel like I’m making up for whatever little food detours happened earlier in the day ;) Asian Slaw with Peanut Dressing get the recipe One reader says: "The peanut dressing on this Asian slaw should be bottled and sold!" She's right, it turns a healthy salad into...

Black bottom lemon bars!

Hey friends❣️ With over a hundred lemon recipes under my belt it's not often I come up with something entirely new to me, so this one is exciting. I can only recall one other recipe that pairs dark chocolate with lemon, which is strange because it's such an amazing combination of flavors. These fun little bars belong on your picnic table this summer. They're super easy to make, no special equipment needed. Black Bottom Lemon Bars get the recipe .Of course I have a few other unusual lemon bars...
