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 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

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!

Queen Elizabeth's Favorite Biscuit Cake

Hey friends❣️ Happy Sunday! It’s been a wild week here in Madison. The tornado sirens sounded more than once (and at all hours), so I’m in regroup mode today. The dogwoods and magnolias are blooming, but the weather roulette wheel landed on cold yet again today. So Sunday dinner is a cozy combo of brats in caramelized sauerkraut and my famous apple butter bourbon baked beans. Full disclosure: the bourbon is a new tweak, add 1/4 cup :) Also this week ~ it would have been Queen Elizabeth II’s...

chicken meatball bowls

Hey friends❣️ Ugh. I have the worst habit of resorting to takeout when I haven’t planned dinner. But lately the cost of those orders has skyrocketed, so I’m doubling down on dinner prep. Who doesn’t love a meatball bowl? Always a family pleaser. I keep this one sweet and sticky for the kids, and finish ours with scallion oil or chili crisp. That toasted sesame flavor is so good. Shortcut: Make the meatballs ahead and use packaged heat and serve rice for the base. Go with plain and it's...
