The Flavor is Beyond Words...πŸ’œ

Published over 1 year 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 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

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!

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.

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.

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...

apple galette

Hey friends❣️ How about a day trip to France? Rustic French Dessert Recipes If the mere mention of French desserts brings to mind the three β€œFs” ~ fussy, fancy, and finicky, think again. Unlike the intricate pastries you see in elegant patisseries, these homemade desserts focus on flavor over perfection. Take my apple galette, above ~ caramelized apples and buttery pastry come together in the most perfectly imperfect way. These are the kinds of desserts that invite you to roll up your sleeves...
