I Love Slaw
You’ll see a number of different slaw recipes on this site just because I love slaws. Not just the ones dressed with mayonnaise, but ones with an oil and vinegar dressing, some that are sweet or spicy, and others that are tangy or mild.
A Fall Football Game Favorite
No, I’m not a southern chef, and I don’t have a smoker, but I do love pulled pork, so here is my indoor, slow-cooker northerner’s version!
The Best Polenta Appetizers
Crispy polenta rounds are a delicious, gluten-free base for appetizers. I love searing pieces in a pan with a little oil and have even crisped them up in an air-fryer – so very yummy and healthy.
Mise-en-place …… say whhaatt??
This quick stir-fry recipe is healthy and flavorful with some heat, sweet, and crunch. It is a great way to use up lots of veggies, but mise-en-place is essential for the success of this dish.
Summer Tini’s
These cocktails are super fun to make, and absolutely terrific tasting. Prefer to go non-alcoholic? Just substitute the alcohol in these recipes with some club soda.
Soaking up Summer Flavors
Summer is fleeting – before it ends, I wanted to indulge in the ultimate summer dessert – grilled lemon cake with grilled peaches.
Spa Salad – Made Vegan or Not!
My take on a Trinidadian Chow utilizes the fresh and juicy sweetness of pineapples, crisp cucumbers and tender shrimp. Served cold it makes me feel like I am lunching at a high-end spa!
Savory Dip & Condiment
Raita is a type of dip or condiment that is kind of, sort of, somewhat like Tzatziki. Well, not really!!
Easy, No Cook Summer Entertaining
Fresh crab, juicy heirloom tomatoes, citrusy microgreens and creamy avocado crema create a light meal or appetizer that never fails to impress.
Vegetarian Skewers — Or Not!
I love grilled veggies all summer long – but occasionally I will add halloumi cheese to the grill too, and that is a game changer!
