Fresh Raspberry Purée or Raspberry Coulis is such a lovely way to add a finishing touch to a dessert.
Or elevate a bowl of ice cream.
Or swirl into a frozen cocktail.

Chicken Satay Meatballs were my sister Sarah’s call. In fact Sarah had several suggestions for March Meatball Madness. Let’s just say she has a vivid imagination and extreme creativity when it comes to food and I love her for it!!!

Sausage & Mushroom Ragù.
This dish is incredibly satisfying.
The mild Italian ground sausage is slow cooked with mushrooms, red wine and aromatics until the flavors melt together like your favorite comfort food.

I was torn on whether to call this beautiful bowl of roasted goodness a dip or a spread.
Not that it really matters, but considering I dipped my way through its photo shoot, I settled on Roasted Tomato & Red Pepper Dip.

You decide.

This Chipotle Salsa is super addicting!!
We put in on everything from Carnitas to rice to homemade tortilla chips!

Bucatini all’Amatriciana is one of those recipes.

I am drawn to classic recipes like this one. It’s the history that surrounds them that draws me in. Which inevitably leads to recipe inspiration.
