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!

Hey friends❣️ Happy Sunday! I hope you all had a nice week. Somehow, for the first time in my life, I’ve become a garden person! It started last fall, when we tore out all the grass in our front yard and turned it into a woodland garden with a winding flagstone path. This summer has been all about filling it in, although the deer and rabbits seem to think we planted the whole thing for them. It’s been a lot of trial and error. (Please hit reply with any advice!)

Non-alcoholic drinks for summer

Hey friends❣️ I've said this before, but healthy hydration is my pain point. It might be the most unhealthy aspect of my diet. I'm into my coffee in the morning, and my glass of wine at night, and not much else in between. I know. It's bad.
