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!

Pears in a bowl.

Hey friends❣️ Happy Sunday! Next Sunday we're taking the Great Island kitchen on the road ~ we're heading up north to Door County, Wisconsin for a month and renting a house right on Lake Michigan. Door County has such a strong sense of place ~ the lake, the orchards, the supper clubs, the Scandinavian traditions. I can already taste where this is going and I can't wait. What's on my counter... I love the look of pears in a bowl so much that I sometimes let them sit past their prime. I don't...

Roasted pecan butter

Hey friends❣️ I’ve recently gotten interested in ultra-processed foods, but I didn’t really know where the line was. So I started digging into the subject and checked my go-to afternoon snack, Jif on crackers. Turns out I’m getting a daily dose of UPF right there, and that’s just the beginning. I pulled together 10 easy homemade swaps for some of the ultra-processed foods we buy all the time. 10 Ultra-Processed Foods I’d Rather Make at Home get all the recipes Dig deeper Ultra-Processed...

pumpkin chocolate chip muffins

Hey friends❣️ I can't think of another ingredient that has a bigger effect on baking than pumpkin. It adds a soft, substantial texture and makes my muffins, breads, and cakes moist but not at all wet. And I can't even with the flavor. Pumpkin has a little sweetness of its own, but it’s also incredibly good at carrying other flavors ~ I pair it with warm spices, brown sugar, maple, chocolate, nuts. It's kind of a game every fall: how many recipes can I make even better by adding pumpkin? Turns...
