Apple Onion Kale Smoked Gouda & Pork
I’ve had this idea in the queue for quite sometime…in fact, I think it’s been at least a year that the words Apple Onion Kale Smoked Gouda & Pork burgers have stared back at me from the notes in my phone on a daily basis. I keep a copious list of recipe ideas both on…

Grapefruit Fennel Mint Scallops
For years and years I never ate scallops, or any shellfish for that matter. It was a texture thing for me. However, now that I’ve jumped into the sea of fresh seafood (which is difficult, I might add, in a landlocked state), I often explore. Scallops have been one of those things that I’ve enjoyed…

Sweet Potato Cilantro Lime Soup
Originally I was not going to blog this quick and easy soup recipe. It was made in sort of an “emergency” situation, in that we needed a quick meal before heading out the door for the day. It was awfully cold that day – thus a warming soup was definitely on my mind, as were…

Special Sweet Potato Lemon Thyme Tart
As the holidays came and went, I dreamt about a new and different version of my Sweet and Savory Havarti Cheesecake Bars. I still have the idea reeling about in my imagination – something sweet and something wintery – perhaps it will come to fruition in the coming months of cold. However, I also CRAVE…

Lemon Leek Mushroom Galette
It’s time to begin baking again. Right, now that the the busy holiday season is over, we can focus on super wintery, warming, savory dishes. Leave behind the pumpkin-apple-cinnamon, and bring back the lemon, right? Your senses will go crazy for this one. Although there’s really nothing “Italian” about this savory baked goodness (other than…

Citrus Wine Poached Salmon
Welcome 2017! The older I grow, the more heartfelt the moniker “time flies” becomes. It truly feels as if 2016 just arrived. There’s never enough time in the day, it seems. However, I DID find the time to create this healthy gourmet cornucopia of deliciousness in about 20 minutes flat. Now this is the way…

Sweet Potato Pappardelle with Chicken Sausage and Kale
I love the fabulous folds and intricate beauty of fresh pappardelle ribbons. Most pasta is beautiful, but there is something truly special about the way these thick, luscious ribbons of life dance and mingle across the platter. They even sing with the gorgeous green of kale, savory and spicy sweetness of chicken sausage, and amazing…

Salted Apricot Acorn Pie
I’ve been on a bit of a phyllo dough kick lately. Perhaps it’s because I’m dreaming of the bright blue waters and warmth of a Santorini vacation – yes, please. Or maybe it’s simply because it’s hard to use an entire package of the flaky goodness in one fell swoop. Either way, we have yet…

Spicy Sweet Pepper Cashew Bruschetta
I am totally in love with tiny sweet little bell peppers. I like bell peppers in general, but the little ones are just too cute – and incredibly sweet. Particularly when roasted… Yum! Other than simply devouring a pound or two on their own, I though carefully of how I could pair that natural bright…
