The Flavor is Beyond Words...πŸ’œ

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!

Smoked trout salad sandwich

Hey friends❣️ It's only been super recently that my husband Grant came around to the idea that a sandwich could be dinner. I'm so glad, because where I come from a sandwich is an ideal dinner, especially as summer winds down. I'll start with my latest, which may not appeal to all of you, but if you know, you definitely know. And then I'll share a few favorites that might touch off the age old question, what counts as a sandwich, anyway? Is an open faced sandwich really a sandwich? What about...

Lemony shrimp and beans

Hey friends❣️ I get recipe ideas from all sorts of sources...friends, restaurants, old magazines...but surprisingly, not so much from cookbooks anymore. I have a library full of them, but I don’t seem to reach for them as often as I used to. One source of continual inspiration has been The New York Times. Their food style really resonates with me, probably because I was born and raised there, and I think our food DNA gets set pretty early. New York is definitely in mine. Today’s shrimp and...
