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 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

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!

Hot butterscotch sundae

Hey friends❣️ Happy Sunday! Wow, it’s the last Sunday in July. That was fast. August might technically be high summer, but it never quite feels that way. Once August 1st hits, life starts moving in a different direction, which is all the more reason to drink in these days while we can. I’m sharing a little personal summer nostalgia today. I got my love of hot butterscotch sundaes from my mom (who also introduced me to hot fudge). The memory of those warm sauces melting into a scoop of ice...
