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!

Cakes that don't need frosting

Hey friends❣️ Happy Sunday! One of the great things about having built such a massive recipe archive here at Great Island is that I can shuffle it in all sorts of fun and creative ways. The flip side is that it’s very easy to lose track of old favorites ~ I think this happens to all of us. So I consider it part of my job to remind you from time to time, with little collections like this one. I was just reminded that I really want to make my mocha hazelnut cake again. It's not everyday I come...

cardamom coffee cake

Hey friends❣️ Apparently I’m not the only one feeling a little pumpkin-spiced-out. After two decades of PSL everything, there are signs we’re ready to branch out. My vote for fall’s next great spice? Cardamom. If cardamom is new to you, let me introduce you ~ it’s warm, aromatic, a little citrusy, and one of those spices that can make a familiar recipe taste completely different. Breaking up with pumpkin spice ~ 35 Cardamom Recipes get the recipes PS: If you love pumpkin, don’t worry ~...

favorite chicken thigh dinners

Hey friends❣️ As we ease into cooler weather the what's for dinner question takes on a little extra edge. Last week's fresh orzo salad with tuna or that gorgeous tomato tart just won't cut it anymore. Can it be we're suddenly hungrier? I think so ~ maybe we've all got a little inner squirrel in us this time of year. It's when I turn to chicken thighs. They really are the hero of easy fall dinners. Pick up a pack on your way home today and choose one of my favorite thigh recipes. Most of them...
