Caponata uses seasonal vegetables

I hope you try this recipe while the farmstands are full of produce. While visiting my husband’s cousin in Italy in August, she served us the most delicious caponata as an appetizer. There are lots of variations but this recipe is closest to the one we had. Enjoy!

Soup for the coming fall

As summer fades and cooler days creep in, I always start thinking about soup season. This Crab Bisque is a longtime family favorite—rich, delicious, and the perfect comfort food as we transition into fall.

A twist on the usual coleslaw for your next barbecue

So delighted to share this recipe—I made it many moons ago for a Cook sister’s gathering and birthday celebration for our mom. Horseradish is a great addition, just enough to add spice and flavoring but not enough to send tears down your face! This is a perfect salad for summer gatherings or barbecues, and might taste even better the next day—if there is any leftover.

Raspberry Spinach Salad

I found this recipe a few years ago and it gets rave reviews wherever I serve it. Quick, delicious and nutritious—it doesn’t get better than that. And it’s a beautiful and colorful way to celebrate our new awakening in springtime!
