It’s burger season again! Well, isn’t is always burger season? Let’s just say it’s time to pull out the BBQ grill. It’s also always the season for blue cheese in our house. NOT for me, but for my hubby. I can’t stand the stinky stuff, but he adores it. So, these burgers are for him.

The fact that the Apple Rosettes were such a hit in our home not too long ago, AND that earthy beets abound this time of year, spawned the idea of a floral beet arrangement. Brian adores the brilliant and bright bulbs. I like to pair them with the savory aroma of fresh herbs, a touch…

Blue cheese burgers…but without a bun? The answer comes in the form of a polenta patty, or “corn cake,” if you will. And towered a top each other, we gain a beautiful burger beacon.

Blue cheese burgers found their way on our kitchen table once again this week. But this time, they were even bluer… …yes, the tang Maytag blue cheese found its way inside a burger to top off the simple sweetness of a purpley-blue sweet potato. Magic.

Oh, it’s been a while. I’ve missed both the flavors of fall, as well as entertaining my creative hands. Transition has been tough, and I’m still in the midst of change…I have not yet emerged from the other side… Yet, I simply couldn’t resist. Meals have been simple and routine, as of late. In fact,…

It’s been awhile since I’ve undertaken a culinary challenge. I decided that it was time once again. I have never been a fan of bleu cheese. In fact, I’ve detested the stinky, soft “cheese-like” fermentation for all of my life – with only one exception. Years ago, on a very special occasion, I was treated…
