The Flavor is Beyond Words...๐Ÿ’œ

Published almost 2 years agoย โ€ขย 1 min read

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

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!

viral sprinkle topped dot cakes

knead Hey friendsโฃ๏ธ Jumping in quickly this Monday morning because over the weekend I made the viral dot cakes everyoneโ€™s talking about, and I wanted to share while theyโ€™re still fresh. I got the hype immediately: soft cake, buttercream, and that crunchy sprinkle top that makes the whole thing. It's an easy yes. And of course I had to give them a lemony Great Island spin. Viral Lemon Dot Cakes If youโ€™ve got kids in your life, theyโ€™ll be all over these, but my adult taste-testers were every...

Hey friendsโฃ๏ธ As the season moves forward, Iโ€™m relying more and more on interesting salads topped with some sort of protein for dinner.
