Chipotle Lime Crema

  Fashioned after a friend’s recipe for lime crema, which she uses as an awesome finishing touch on her chili, this easy sauce adds the smoky heat of a chipotle pepper.  The spiced-up version is perfect for chili and most anything based on south-of-the-border flavors. I use this versatile condiment on a couple of recipes…

Flounder with Bacony Corn

With the familiar flavors of bacon and corn, this wholesome, all-in-one meal might just make a fish lover out of the toughest critic!   At its best, summer cooking should be light yet satisfying, keep the heat to a minimum, and include lots of shortcuts.

Summer of Kitchenaid Sweepstakes

Who doesn’t enjoy a cool, creamy summer treat…perhaps in a cone?  For many of us, some of our best summer memories involve regular trips to the ice cream parlor or chasing down an ice cream truck.  I have fond memories of turning the old crank on my grandmother’s ancient ice cream maker, eagerly awaiting the…

Peach Iced Tea

How do you make the quintessential summer drink even more refreshingly delicious? Add a sweet peach infusion of course!       Our love of peach tea began when I started canning peaches with a manageable small-batch recipe. There’s always some simple syrup leftover, but this leftover syrup is not just plain old simple syrup. No…

Crunchy Maple Granola

Typically, dishes like spaghetti and chili are thought to improve with age.  But I have always thought that this concept applied to my Chunky Granola, a longtime family and reader favorite. While the taste is absolutely delicious straight off the baking sheet, the flavors really do develop a little something extra by day two or three.…

Beef & Rice Stuffed 8-Ball Zucchini

8-ball zucchinis offer a fun option in this all-in-one meal, but if they aren’t available, by all means use regular zucchini or summer squash. The savory filling can even be used for stuffed peppers. The first time I laid eyes on an 8-ball zucchini, I was intrigued. Its forest green skin with pale green striations…
