Today’s art class includes a vibrant orange carrot-chipotle hummus and a sweet and savory strawberry caprese. Both a bit outside the lines when contrasted with a traditional, chickpea hummus or tomato caprese…which is totally cool with me because that is where the magic happens.
Be boring. We are barraged with gorgeous food photos and brilliant recipe ideas to encourage us to “next level” all sorts of dishes. And it is a blast, for sure, to be inspired or to inspire, and turn the creative juices on. To flavor-bomb your guests. But food can also taste just as amazing by […]
GoTo’s. We all have them. GoTo sweats. GoTo Jeans. GoTo T-shirt. And fo sure GoTo recipes. I have some that I have counted on for decades and they never fail. Here is one of my GoTo salads.
