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!

potluck salads

Hey friends❣️ I'm going to be honest: potluck salads can be a gamble. I don't always love playing β€œguess the ingredients” with a bowl that's been making the rounds all afternoon. But give me a table full of Great Island salads ~ fresh, colorful, never boring ~ and suddenly I’m all in. Add a few good friends and call it dinner. What can I say ~ I trust my own recipes :) Summer Potluck Salads get the recipes What you're loving lately 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Strawberry Lemon Blondies The lemon juice makes the...

Ham and Jam Sandwich

Hey friends❣️ It’s funny because my husband and I have both been leaning slightly low carb lately, so sandwiches haven’t really been on our radar. But that all changed last week when ham and jam came into our lives. Smoky ham, creamy-tart goat cheese, and sweet-savory jam turns out to be an incredibly winning combo. And the bread I happened to pick up at Whole Foods? It blew us away. Now I literally can’t stop dreaming up sandwich dinners... Ham and Jam Sandwich get the recipe My husband and...
