Ramp Butter
Ramps only last a few days, so finding a recipe that makes the goodness last is a find! This ramp butter can be frozen, so it will last for months. Add a pat of butter to your steaks, chicken, pork, or potatoes to give them that oomph! Like ramps? Check out my blog for Grilled Ramps! Continue reading Ramp Butter
Grilled Ramps
My favorite preparation of ramps (wild leeks) is also the easiest. Start by cutting off the root, and then wash and dry well. Then lightly brushing of with olive oil and sprinkle with kosher salt. Once you have prepped your ramps, simply throw on a hot grill for just a minute or two per side. Word to the wise, you may start with a stack, … Continue reading Grilled Ramps
Lemon Ricotta Pancakes with Blueberry Sauce
These pancakes are light and fluffy and full of moisture from the ricotta! Lemony but too not too much, and just the right amount of sweetness. The blueberry sauce is the perfect accompaniment! Continue reading Lemon Ricotta Pancakes with Blueberry Sauce
Coconut Shrimp Curry
Feeling like cooking something easy, light and full of flavor? This is a great weeknight dish! One of things I really like about this recipe is that most of the ingredients are ones that you can have on hand. I found that buying frozen shrimp and peas works just fine. Enjoy!

Lobster Thermidor
While visiting my favorite Caribbean destination, Turks and Caicos, I came across this recipe. It is deceptively simple to make and a real crowd pleaser. I choose to use lobster tails as they are much easier to work with, rather than a full lobster. One trick I learned is to skewer the lobster tail with a wooden skewer to keep the tails from curling while … Continue reading Lobster Thermidor
Minestrone with Sausage and Kale
I love the combination of cannellini beans, sausage and kale. When I came across the recipe by Williams Sonoma, I knew I had to try it. It is hearty and healthy (minus the bread perhaps), and I made it exactly as the recipe calls. Other than potentially changing out a regular baguette with a gluten free option, I wouldn’t change a thing! https://www.williams-sonoma.com/recipe/minestrone-with-sausage-and-kale.html One thing … Continue reading Minestrone with Sausage and Kale
Shaved Fennel, Radish, Apple and Herb Salad
I love this different, refreshing salad! This combination of thinly sliced fennel, radish, apple and goat cheese is a great accompaniment to most meals. I was introduced to this recipe when I took an Italian cooking class at Sur La Table. Of all the recipes we made that night, this is the one that I keep making again and again. The ingredients to the recipe … Continue reading Shaved Fennel, Radish, Apple and Herb Salad
Leg of Lamb with Cheesy Polenta
With a new Instant Pot, I am relying on others to share their recipes and hope to find some worth sharing. We recently experienced a typical New England, wintry storm, that was perfect for this recipe of “fall of the bone” lamb leg. I chose to serve it over cheesy polenta. Pressure Cooker 7 hour Leg of Lamb in 90 minutes Of course, you can … Continue reading Leg of Lamb with Cheesy Polenta
Roasted Chicken Thighs with Root Vegetables
Perfect for a fall or winter evening when you want something comforting, but still healthy (ish). You also have flexibility on which root vegetables to use. Variations that I have made can include turnip and celery root too. This is super easy to make and the chicken thighs cooking right over the vegetables give them a wonderful flavor. The key to crispy skin is to … Continue reading Roasted Chicken Thighs with Root Vegetables
