BROWN SUGAR SOUR CREAM BLUEBERRY COFFEE CAKE

I need to get better at naming recipes.  Usually, I just list the ingredients in a tasty sounding matter, but for this recipe…there’s too much tasty! Obviously I have to mention the blueberries, but what about the brown sugar, giving it a deeper, almost maple-y flavor? I should also bring up the sour cream, adding a tangy richness.  What about […]

BRUCE’S SPICY CORNBREAD DRESSING

Last year I had two thanksgivings, back to back. My fiance’s family had a Thanksgiving lunch, and a little later my family had an early Thanksgiving dinner.  My family kills it at Thanksgiving. My mom’s stuffing is wonderful, Tina’s pies are next level, and on the whole, we have very high expectations when it comes to Thanksgiving sides.  My intention […]

BURRATA RAVIOLI WITH PEA PESTO + PROSCIUTTO

These are three of my favorite ingredients, all mixed together, and the time it takes to make fresh ravioli is totally worth it.  I like to make the ravioli on a lazy afternoon and then freeze them so I can rustle them up whenever I’m yearning for cheese stuffed pasta (which is every minute of every day, but whatever). The […]

BURRATA WITH STONEFRUIT + CHILI + MINT

Burrata is one of my favorite things. It’s up there with brown butter. Basically, if it’s in a dish, it’s somehow improving it, and I must eat it. During the summer, I love pairing this fresh, creamy cheese with bright stone fruit. The acid in the peaches, plums, and nectarines are a fantastic counterpoint to the cheese’s mild sweetness, and […]

BURRITO BOWL

I love customizable lunches, and a burrito bowl is one of the easiest to whip up. A little brown rice, your favorite salsa, some leftovers and you’ve got an awesome and easy meal.  For this version, I made roasted yams that I had to make twice…because I ate the entire first batch while hovering around the kitchen. I love roasted […]

BUTTER BASIL ROASTED CHICKEN

Few things taste as lovely as vegetables cooked under a roasting chicken. I joke that the chicken is just an ingredient, to give flavor to the vegetables, because the vegetables are that delicious. This time around I’m using apples, corn and bacon, but you could just as easily switch in any number of your favorite vegetables too. The result is […]

BUTTER DIPPED RADISHES

Radishes with butter and salt is a classic trifecta in French cuisine. I have no idea how old this combination is, but I imagine it came together around the time butter was invented. The key to this perfect snack’s success is in the ingredients – they must be high quality. Excellent butter, crunchy fleur de sel, and fresh, mild radishes, preferably […]
