Everyday Fare With Extraordinary Flair
This satisfying Pear Kale Salad with Candied Almonds and Crumbled Goat Cheese pairs sweet and savory flavors with creamy and crunchy textures.
I just realized that I’ve shared a recipe with kale once a week for four out of the past five weeks.
I don’t know when I turned into such a leafy green pusher, lol!…
With a base of mostly yogurt, this Creamy Cucumber Salad Recipe is lower in calories and fat, but still has all the flavor! A sprinkle of goat cheese (or feta) and fresh herbs really take the taste up a notch. I have had more than my fair share of cucumber salads in my day!...
This Lentil Salad Recipe with Herbed Goat Cheese and Balsamic Vinaigrette is a delicious and impressive-looking but easy-to-make salad that packs a ton of nutrition! Do you have a birthday buddy? I do; actually, I have a few. (Give me a shout out if your birthday is also September 30th!) But I was an adult when I first met I someone with the same birthday as mine. (Which is pretty sad, right? That would have been so much fun as a kid!)...
Baked Goat Brie with Spiced Rosemary-Scented Honey and Red Wine Cranberries is a fun play on the flavors in mulled spiced wine; it’s festive and unique and perfect for any holiday gathering! Are you known for bringing a certain dish to parties? I had to laugh a couple weeks ago when a friend called me up to invite me to a holiday potluck she was hosting; she was planning the menu and had me down for some kind of cheese item because a) she knows me and my love for cheese well, and b) she wanted something a little bit outside the box....
This Warm Pasta Salad Recipe with Caramelized Leek, Bacon, and Goat Cheese is an elevated pasta salad that’s worthy of entertaining with. Crispy beef bacon, caramelized leeks, mushrooms, and garlic give it great depth of flavor. White wine brightens it up, and creamy goat cheese adds rich creaminess! Pasta is one of those things that usually gets forgotten in my kitchen. I didn’t grow up eating much pasta. It just wasn’t one of my mom’s favorites, and we all know we get to eat what the cook likes, lol!...
Baked Goat Brie with Balsamic-Roasted Cherries is a lovely balance of sweet and tangy flavors and creamy texture. I have had a heck of a time getting my cherry fix this summer. I’ve been so focused on tropical treats like mango and pineapple that my classic summer favorites like cherries, blueberries, and peaches have taken the backseat. But I couldn’t let summer go without giving cherries a moment in the spotlight....
Zucchini Stacks with Goat Cheese are literally the BEST zucchini appetizer with creamy, tangy goat cheese, tender zucchini and crunchy pine nuts. These stacks as easy to make as they are delicious and impressive, and they’re perfect for a spring supper or party! I’m not one to shy away from green veggies. In fact, I’ve been known to serve fried eggs on sautéed greens as a breakfast salad, turn a bed of greens into pizza, and replace bread with leaves. But when spring rolls around, my need for the color green in my diet seems to intensify even more....
Blackberry and Toasted Walnut Kale Salad with Goat Cheese is the perfect balance of sweet/salty flavors with the bonus of nutty crunch and nutritious greens. When you actually enjoy eating healthy foods, drink water like a fish, and get in a good 30 minute workout three to five times a week, it comes as a real kick in the tush when you find out you have a kidney stone. (Yup, I’m speaking from personal experience here.)...
Fun and festive Patriotic Cheesecake Parfaits made with fresh strawberries, blueberry sauce, and goat cheese-based cheesecake are perfect for the 4th of July or any summer party. One of my favorite 4th of Julys was when I was about 20. I went to a carnival with a group of girls and we packed a cooler with food and drinks to take with us to watch the fireworks at a local town park. It seemed like the epitome of summer fun....
First up in our fancy homemade Valentine’s Day meal are the cute little drinks and the salad. The two are tied together through strawberry slices, which are perfect for Valentine’s Day since they look just like sweet little hearts. The Strawberry Spritzers are so easy to make that it isn’t even really a recipe…and for very little effort you get something that is absolutely adorable! I made a caramelized onion dressing to serve with the salad (because I also use caramelized onion for the pasta and beef recipes), but you could make it even easier and use your favorite prepared salad dressing…I think anything with a […]...
