Savory Tomato Cobbler with Cheddar Cream Biscuits
A Cobbler That’s Not Dessert? Oh, Yeah, It is a Very Good Thing. I’ve run across a couple of recipes for tomato cobbler throughout the years and I’ve always been intrigued. I mean, come on.

Lemon and Poppy Seed Olive Oil Cake with Crème Fraîche
I Now Have the Simple Lemon Cake I’ve Always Wanted. As with my orange cake, I had a situation where I’ve never been perfectly satisfied with any lemon cake I’ve ever made. Typically, they don’t have enough lemon flavor or they’re a little dry or the crumb is not what I want. I decided it […]
Focaccia/Pizza with Lemon Ricotta, Strawberries, and Peas
I Can’t Resist Fresh Cool Toppings on a Warm and Chewy Crust. Is this recipe best labeled as a pizza or a focaccia? Or neither? I honestly don’t know. It’s a cross between both things.

Lamb Kebabs on Beet Flatbreads
Skewers of Lamb Served on Top of Flatbreads is Never a Bad Thing. I made my Beet Flatbreads with Pomegranate Raita and served them with lamb kebabs. I love skewering meats. Something about it just makes it so much more fun to eat rather than simply slicing up a leg of lamb. I’ve been hooked […]

How’s This for a Beautiful and Easy Dessert? Panna cotta. Beautiful, white, milky, and eggless custard. What’s not to love, right? I’ve made a lot of different recipes for this dessert and had arrived at my favorite years ago. But when I read about adding olive oil to it, I knew I had to give […]

Beet Flatbreads and Pomegranate Raita
These Will Brighten Up a Meal. That’s For Sure. Get a load of these flatbreads. I decided I wanted to make flatbreads with beet juice. First and foremost, I love beets and thought their flavor would be great, but I was also very curious as to how the color would translate. Well, as you can […]
Pork Patties with ‘Nduja Roasted Fennel and Potato Wedges
Nothing Dull About These Flavors. Here’s a very tasty meal I put together after thinking about what to do with the ground pork sitting in my freezer and a couple of fresh fennel bulbs.
