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!

Soccer friendly snacks

Hey friends❣️ Happy Sunday! Before I get to the snacks, something's been on my mind lately... In a moment when food content can be generated on a screen in seconds, I’m still here cooking real food in a real kitchen and taking real pictures of it. Why? Because food is about as human as it gets: we literally become what we eat, after all. And food inspires real passion. We crave it, we celebrate with it, and a perfect plate of fries can make just about anything better. When I create a recipe,...

Frozen Mudslide Pie

Hey friends❣️ We made it through the torrential Midwest rains and today the sun is shining ~ you better believe dinner will be outside on the patio tonight. And dessert is the headliner. I’ve got a brand new recipe to share today and I’m kind of in love. How could you not love this pie? It’s got everything we want in a summer dessert: a chocolate crumb crust, a frosty spiked mocha filling, a chocolate drizzle, and whipped cream. It’s no-bake, make-ahead friendly, and just boozy enough to feel...
