Baked Goat Brie with Spiced Rosemary-Scented Honey and Red Wine Cranberries

December 15, 2017 by Faith Leave a Comment

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.…

Warm Caramelized Leek Pasta Salad with Bacon and Goat Cheese

September 1, 2017 by Faith 1 Comment

Warm Caramelized Leek Pasta Salad with Bacon and Goat Cheese is an elevated pasta salad that’s worthy of entertaining with. 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 these days I try to keep my carbs down, so it isn’t a dish that’s on my radar very often. But recently I had the idea for a warm pasta salad full of vegetables and refined flavors and I knew I had to put pasta back on the menu!...

Baked Goat Brie with Balsamic-Roasted Cherries

August 18, 2017 by Faith 2 Comments

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 and Goat Cheese Stacks with Fresh Mint, Pine Nuts, and Crispy Prosciutto

April 13, 2017 by Faith 10 Comments

Zucchini and Goat Cheese Stacks with Fresh Mint, Pine Nuts, and Crispy Prosciutto are as easy to make as they are delicious and impressive; 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. From peas, to asparagus, leafy greens like spinach and watercress, leeks, and fava beans, spring brings with […]...

Blackberry and Toasted Walnut Kale Salad with Goat Cheese

July 15, 2016 by Faith 13 Comments

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.)...

Za’atar and Caramelized Onion Zucchini Galette with Goat Cheese

August 26, 2015 by Faith 6 Comments

This pretty little Za’atar and Caramelized Onion Zucchini Galette with Goat Cheese is a great way to class up zucchini. Even when it’s rustic (read: food blogger slang for a fine mess), anything with pie crust (called pâte brisée) just feels classy. And humble as it is, zucchini deserves a chance in the limelight....

Watermelon Salad with Sweet and Spicy Vinaigrette

July 29, 2015 by Faith 14 Comments

Sweet and salty pair perfectly in this refreshing Watermelon Salad with Sweet and Spicy Vinaigrette! Growing up, our summertime meals consisted mostly of fresh veggies. Sweet grilled corn on the cob; sliced red tomatoes with my mom’s sweet creamy white dressing; zucchini sautéed with garlic, olive oil, and salt; steamed green beans with butter; bowls of leafy greens. It was bliss, all of it, and it’s no wonder that to this day my sister and I both prefer veggies over meat or junk food. (Thank you, Mom!)...

Patriotic Cheesecake Parfaits

June 29, 2015 by Faith 11 Comments

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....

Kale Salad with Red Pear and Candied Almonds

October 23, 2014 by Faith 6 Comments

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....

I have had more than my fair share of cucumber salads in my day…...
