Refried Black-Eyed Peas
Necessity invented this replacement for the traditional variety made from pinto beans. They are delicious with a southern American twang. Pictured here as a bean dip with nachos.
Butternut Sage Tart
A special creation for a friends birthday. This tart is savory and rich with a hint of spice and truffles.
Craveable Clam Chowder
So many of my original creations come from dishes that I absolutely crave, but keep being underwhelmed when ordering them at restaurants. So what makes my recipe different? I ramp up the umami component. Find out how.
Savory Pumpkin Pie
Love pumpkin but tired of the same old pumpkin spice flavoring? This rich pie has lots of options to tailor to your own tastes. It’s full of fall goodness without falling into cliches and marketing schemes.
Maki Salad Roll w/ Deconstructed Dressing
Ok this one is still in the works, but my guests loved the first experience with it. They called it an “Adventure on a plate”! Since I wasn’t sure how this turned out I did not measure all my ingredients so it’s more the ‘idea’ of a recipe for now.
Sesame Stick Crackers – Gluten Free
I always love working on treats for my GF friends. These crackers are reminiscent of the sesame sticks your find in snack mix: with less sugar and salt.
