Curried Turkey Burger

You either like curry… or you don’t.  This burger is for those who do.  Just another  take on grilled ground meat.  Intensely flavored with the elements that make curry so unique.

Peach Trifle w/Lemon Mousse

Once again, my Mother whipped this recipe up.  I was fortunate to partake in the inhaling of  the result when visiting her and my father.   I say inhale, because I, along with them, devoured our portions.  Easy to assemble.  Just have to give...

Basil-Booze Slush

Big basil fan?  Than this is your cocktail.  A refreshing icy treat is the result, when pureed along with the orange-honey undertones of Lillet, a bit of vodka, sugary simple syrup, lemon juice and ice.

Chipotle Lime Butter

The answer to making your corn-on-the-cob just that much more special.

Sky-Hi-Chocolate Pie

A true “sky-high” pie!  Directions seem lengthy, but it’s the chilling that takes some time. I recommend chilling overnight, maybe even two nights.    Be certain to fold gently so as to keep the mousse light and fluffy.

Em Palmer

If you enjoy an Arnold Palmer, then for certain you’ll want to sip the spiked Em Palmer.  A lemon and tea mixture combining a little gin and limoncello over ice, provide a chilled brew on a warm afternoon.

Pink Peppercorn Thyme Soda

Refreshing yet has zing.  The peppery flare gives this non-alcoholic beverage just a slight kick while still “wettin’ your whistle”.  Perfect mocktail to warm the soul after a strenuous day of apple picking.

Goofy Foot

Nothing beats a spiked-fruit punch after a day of sun, sand and swim…

Potato Chip Cookies

A cookie not short of texture.  Sweet and salty.   Chewy, yet crunchy.

Spanish (Pork) Burgers

Despite the spicy kick of this pork burger, the tangy saffron-lemon mayo compliments each bite just right.  Sauteed onions are incorporated along with chopped olives and spices to keep the pork juicy.  Don’t forget the cheese!  Always a key...
