Plum Tart
Plum Tart

I cannot adequately describe my love for this tart nor am I willing to tell you how many I make and eat during plum season. Suffice it to say that this is a truly outstanding, scrumptious, perfect, should-be-your summer dessert!

Chicken Burgers with Preserved Lemon, Aleppo and Yogurt
Chicken Burgers with Preserved Lemon, Aleppo and Yogurt

Though not a beef burger fan, I do love the idea of burgers, especially during summertime when you can sit outside, crack open a watermelon, pour some sweet tea and enjoy the sunshine. As such, I need non-beef burgers in my repetoire, and I prefer that they not look like pancakes or pucks, sad seconds to the juicy beef patties sharing grill space. I love real veggie burgers but chicken and/or turkey make the best substitutes for the "real" deal. This recipe is inspired by a southwestern turkey burger recipe I once had (white meat and chili) and by a delicious Aleppo-yogurt chicken kebab recipe I found on epicurious (chicken, Aleppo, yogurt). It's lighter than air, super moist and completely satisfying.

Melon and Watercress Salad with Marcona Almond-Honey Dressing

I made this salad up one night during a bout of inspiration and was incredibly pleased. It is refreshing, zingy and just lovely all around.

Milk Punch

Have you ever enjoyed a milk punch? It’s a milk-based adult beverage commonly drunk on holidays in Louisiana. A combination of said milk, bourbon and/or brandy, sugar and nutmeg served cold, it is a sublime cocktail and definitely feels festive.

This is a scrumptious pumpkin cheesecake. It's creamy, well-spiced, and the gingersnap crust is the perfect base. Serve this after your Thanksgiving (or any winter holiday) meal, and you'll be a hit!

Honey-Bourbon Hot Toddy

Honey-Bourbon Hot Toddy

This is from Bon Appetit's Andrew Knowlton. He calls for apple bourbon if you have or make it. Regular bourbon will definitely suffice, but not the difference in amount of honey used. Medicinal! Yum!

Spicy Barbecue Sauce

Spicy Barbecue Sauce

Tom and I found a version of this fantastic recipe years ago and have been adapting it to our taste ever since. This is fiery, so if you want less heat, reduce the amount of hot paprika and/or cayenne.
