Summer Fun

Plum Frangipane Tart

Summer baking at it’s best. Juicy and ripe red plums are just waiting to give you a beautiful summer dessert.

Mini Strawberry Galettes

August 24, 2015

I often make these free-form galettes with whatever fruit that I have sitting around. If you have other berries that you’d like to use then go right ahead.

Summer Squash Salad

August 21, 2015

Have a bumper crop of summer squash already? Many people ask me what they should do with all that squash and I have to admit that one starts to run out of ideas. Make a summer squash salad with delicious crispy shallots. Summer, of course, is about lightening things up a bit and there’s nothing better than a tasty summer salad.

Summer Corn Salad

Charred Jalapeño and basil oil upgrade this simple summer salad.

Green Beans With New Potatoes

August 14, 2015

There are some vegetables that I just can’t get enough of and, for me; I’ve never met a green bean that I didn’t fall in love with. When I was a kid I even used to eat them straight out of the can. Luckily my tastes have grown up and know that fresh is best. But, between you and me I’d still eat them out of a can if given the chance. Shhhh…. don’t tell anyone.

Muddy Boots Coffee Ice Cream

July 20, 2015

When I found out that my favorite commercial “artisan” coffee ice cream contained corn syrup I threw it out and set to work on creating my own homemade version. I have to say that my Muddy Boots Coffee Ice Cream surpasses any that I’ve taken home from the grocery freezer. So…get your caffeine fix, coffee fix, and ice cream fix all in one whether you take it in a bowl or a cone by making Muddy Boots Coffee Ice Cream!

Cantaloupe & Prosecco Sorbet

July 17, 2015

This recipe calls for cantaloupe, but any melon will blend deliciously with prosecco for a colorful special-occasion sorbet.

Plum Peach Sorbet

July 14, 2015

I’ve been having so much fun playing around with my ice cream maker and experimenting with different recipes. What to do with all of those plums? Make sorbet with them. I love this recipe.

Grilled Barbecue Pork & Plum Kabobs

July 13, 2015

Sweet and gently spicy, these quick pork and plum kabobs are basted with thick barbecue sauce for a simple and delicious crust.

Summer Plum Pie

July 7, 2015

This is a rather tart, but refreshing pie. I just used a single crust, but you may use a double as directed in this recipe.
