I wanted a down-home, comfy cookie. No bells and whistles, no nuts, no chocolate chips, no oatmeal. No spicy ginger, nutty peanut butter, or cloying molasses.
A light and tangy dressing paired with Brussels sprouts seems out of the ordinary at first, but the flavors work together quite well. The chestnuts add a nice crunch to the dish.
Carrot Salad with Cucumber, Peppadews, & Pom Vinaigrette
I love peppadews. These little peppers can be found in the Zupan’s olive bar and are the perfect combination of sweet and hot. This whole salad is a bright and zingy little dish that can chase away any gray day.
A slight variation of sunomono, a Japanese-style vinegared salad which has a refreshing taste. Here, the grapefruit juice is used to create ponzu vinaigrette and the degree of spiciness can be made mild or hot, depending on your taste.
I always keep a jar of lemon curd in my fridge for an “emergency” treat. Slather this bright and refreshing curd on scones, pancakes, crepes, cakes…pretty much anything will go well with it!
This Mexican pulled-pork dish is perfect for outdoor gatherings. I just love the tenderness and succulent texture of spice pork shoulder for my taco filling. It’s muy delicioso!
