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!

rhubarb cake

Hey friends❣️ Happy Sunday! Have you got your spring holiday menus all planned out yet? I like to start the wheels turning about a week ahead ~ enough time to plan, but still room to be spontaneous. If I spot beautiful berries, I might make a chantilly cake or triple berry muffins. And if I’m lucky enough to find rhubarb, it’s absolutely going into a rhubarb tart. Spotting the first rhubarb of the season is probably the most dramatic moment of my cooking year. It gets my heart racing in the...

chicken salad recipes

Hey friends❣️ We've been eating salad for dinner like crazy lately. It's become kind of a game for us...can we put it on a salad? That's a big yes in most cases, burgers, salmon, shrimp, tuna...but for lots of us the holy grail of main course salads turns out to be, you guessed it, chicken! Spring Chicken Salad Recipes We're big believers in the whole β€œsalad for dinner” idea. I love it because no matter how the day’s gone, I can count on dinner to catch me up on my veggies. A few years back I...

coconut lime tart

Hey friends❣️ Easter has never been a formal affair in our family, and I love a low-stress holiday. I’m all about pretty but effortless recipes that are fun to make and make people feel at ease. This lineup works just as well for a casual holiday spread as it does for that first spring dinner out on the patio. The latest in my ever-growing collection of approachable desserts is this coconut lime tart ~ it captures the moment perfectly. Coconut Lime Shortbread Crumble Tart Quiche is one of my...
