The Flavor is Beyond Words...💜

Published almost 2 years ago • 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 🙂 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!

Steak Salad

Hey friends❣️ I can’t think of a better warm-weather dinner than tender ribbons of juicy steak over crisp greens, especially when there’s a tangy A.1. dressing involved. This is the kind of dinner I make at home, it helps stretch the budget and makes everybody happy (can you say crispy onion strings?) Steak Salad get the recipe The pan I use for searing steak I love my cast iron skillet because I can give the steak that perfect deep brown stove top sear and then slide it right into the oven...

viral sprinkle topped dot cakes

knead Hey friends❣️ Jumping in quickly this Monday morning because over the weekend I made the viral dot cakes everyone’s talking about, and I wanted to share while they’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 you’ve got kids in your life, they’ll be all over these, but my adult taste-testers were every...
