Beet Salad with Roasted Cipollini Onion Dressing

There is something so special about a salad that feels both simple and elegant, and this one is a true favorite. Tender beets, creamy chèvre, toasted walnuts, and delicate microgreens come together in a way that is earthy, vibrant, and beautifully balanced. What truly makes this dish unforgettable, though, is the roasted cipollini onion dressing — silky, savory, slightly sweet, and rich with deep roasted flavor. Whether served for a lunch gathering, a holiday table, or a ligh

How to Thaw & Roast and Carve a Turkey

Those of you who have read a few of my posts know that I have very definite opinions about some things and how to roast and carve a turkey is one of them! First we need to address the frozen turkey issue. 99.9% of all Thanksgiving turkeys are frozen simply for food safety. So, probably 99.9% of us will have a turkey that is somewhere in the middle of defrosting when we need to start cooking it on Thursday. Pls see USDA recommendations above. I have about a 12 lb Plainvil

Sourdough Toast with Orange Marmalade & Sharp Cheddar

Simple, elegant, elevated! This breakfast is a testament to the idea that the very best ingredients make the very best outcome.

And, so easy to make. Ingredients: 3 bunches baby beets 1.5 cups apple cider vinegar .5 cup water 2 fresh jalapenos 1/2 cup sugar 1/2 cup kosher salt Instructions: Cut the beet

Snow Crab for a Dinner Party!

Snow crab is the perfect dinner-party food: elegant yet unfussy, interactive without being chaotic, and so, so good. Guests linger for hours, cracking legs, dunking into warm butter, and swapping stories between bites. Here’s your complete, no-stress playbook. Why Snow Crab Works for Entertaining Low-lift, high-wow: Most legs are pre-cooked and flash-frozen—you're simply reheating gently. Built-in pacing: Cracking slows the meal to a lovely, chatty tempo. Minimal last-minute

Sungold Tomato Pasta with Fresh Basil

I wait ALL YEAR for the little sungold tomatoes to hit the market.... and I found a few baskets of these beauties this week! This pasta dish screams Summer and is packed with flavor. This is a wonderful starting point to add shrimp or lump crab, or enjoy as a vegetarian dish. Soon the market will have micro-basil and as soon as they do I will re-make and re-post this with micro basil on top. The intense basil, almost anise, flavor of micro basil plays so beautiful with t
