Herbed Rotisserie Chicken
The store-bought rotisserie chicken seems to be a weekly staple for most families. I love the convenience of the ready-made bird however, they just don’t come close to the flavor of roasting your own. Many roasters are cooked at a high heat, slathered with butter and come out of […]
Corn And Pancetta Salad
We still have corn at the farmer’s market!! What a year. What a salad. Smokey charred scallions, roasted corn, crispy pancetta, earthy mushrooms, nutty Gruyere, refreshing greens and a bright dressing all combine for the perfect autumnal salad. Thanks Maureen for the inspiration!! Corn And Pancetta Salad Serves 6 6 large […]

The grilled corn steals the show in this protein packed entree. Grilling the corn turns this summer staple smokey. Add creamy avocado, grilled poblanos, […]

Charred Green Beans with Cilantro-Lime Vinaigrette
Another idea for all those beans coming out of your garden and local farmers markets. A quick and tasty 10 minute side to pair with your summer mains. Charring the beans brings out a smokey, nutty flavor and it’s the only way I prepare these seasonal veggies. Add lime and […]
Sweet Kentucky Bourbon Cornbread Pudding with Candied Jalapenos
When I served this side along with BBQ ribs, I called it cornbread and Randy quickly responded, “this is not cornbread.” Huh? I looked at the recipe again and he was right, it is corn pudding. While that made sense to him, I’m really “not a connoisseur of the cornbread” […]
Tortellini Salad with Lemon and Asparagus
A refreshing summer pasta salad was the hit of the last shower I attended. It had colorful highlights of asparagus and yellow peppers, but the real star was that dressing……sweet and tangy. (I added an alternative dressing with less sugar, however the first dressing is my fave!) The finishing touches included […]
Cherry Almond Dutch Baby
Where has this baby been my whole life??? I had my first Dutch Baby a few weeks ago in wine country at a beautiful B&B where host Felisa introduced me to this tasty dish. This “pancake” pulls together quickly using a few basic ingredients that you can whisk in a bowl […]

A light and refreshing salad that has sweetness from the grapes, crunch from the celery, and a slight hint of anise from the tarragon. Cooking the […]
Cedar Planked Salmon With Maple Glaze and Mustard Mashed Potaotes
Well, there is a first for everything ….and this was that!! Success. Cooking salmon on cedar planks creates a fragrant, smokey flavor that helps lock in the moisture AND prevents the fish from sticking to the grill. A glaze of maple syrup with ginger, garlic, soy and lemon juice […]

Grilled Veggies With Quinoa
After busy summer weekends, we like a fresh start on our Monday’s with healthy veggie packets. When you heat the vegetables in foil packets they release their natural juices and the heat also helps to caramelize them. This is hardly a recipe, really just a starting point for you to […]
Bean-tini
A spicy twist on the classic dirty martini. I came across this jar of specialty pickled french beans and thought this could be a clever use of these summer veggies. The ingredients of the brine are apple cider vinegar, cane sugar, sweet onions, serrano peppers, red peppers, salt and […]

Lamb Meatballs
If you’re a lamb lover you will appreciate these simple yet delicious meatballs. Thomas Keller’s Ad Hoc At Home Cookbook celebrates his genius and “dumbs down” his often complex recipes for the home cook. The recipe calls for preserved lemons, which are a not difficult to make, but they need […]
Watermelon Radish And Burrata Salad
The Watermelon radish is an edible globular root that has the most vivid color you will find in this category. As with many roots, watermelon radishes should feel heavy for their size, and their skin should feel firm. Avoid watermelon radishes that feel spongy when gently squeezed. The […]
Jalapeno Popper Deviled Eggs
Who’s bringing the deviled eggs? You just might want to volunteer! This clever twist on a traditional deviled egg combines ingredients that mirror jalapeno poppers. The creamy yolks are combined with a bit of cream cheese, jalapeno and green onions. The eggs are then topped with cheddar cheese crisps and […]
Pasta with Yogurt, Peas, and Chile
DO NOT read this recipe and go….ewww!! These big flavors and ingredients are magical together.

Toss in garlic, olive oil, feta, fresh […]
