​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!

Hey friends❣️ So. Dinner. We've been doing sandwiches a lot lately, and I've been loving it. Ham and jam, my favorite fried green tomato blts, and tuna melts on repeat.

Zucchini snack cake

Hey friends❣️ Happy Sunday! We finished out the month on a festive note at our house. Our Sunday dinner last week had a fun Christmas in July theme ~ complete with carols on Spotify and Hallmark holiday movies playing in the background. I made ham and my green bean casserole. and everybody else brought a favorite side or dessert. It was sweltering outside, the air conditioning was cranking, and I think we may have started a new annual tradition. Before we get to the recipes, thank you for...
