Strawberry Shortcake Chantilly

There’s good reason strawberry shortcake is a classic dessert. It’s simple, yet amazingly delightful.

 

 

 

 

Eggs in a Basket

Nestled in a whole wheat bread slice, these simple and delicious baked eggs make a delightful breakfast or brunch.

 

 

 

 

Spinach, Ham and Gruyere Strata

Egg strata makes a great addition to any brunch spread. With pieces of bread in the mixture, it’s a heartier version of a frittata or quiche and easily adapted to whatever ingredients you have on hand.

 

 

 

Rosemary Roasted Potatoes with Artichokes

Flavorful roasted potatoes and artichokes are dressed in a parsley and Dijon dressing. A delightful side!

 

 

 

Garlic Poached Mushrooms with Fresh Basil

These poached mushrooms make a delicious appetizer on their own or as part of an antipasto platter.

 

 

 

Chicken and Asparagus Roulade

An elegant and tasty take on a chicken dinner combines asparagus, sun-dried tomatoes and cheeses for a delicious flavor.

 

 

 

This pizza is a lovely mix of sweet and savory, and showcases the Mediterranean flavors of figs and tangy cheese. If you are looking for some nibbles to serve alongside wine, make a few of these. They will be a hit!

 

 

 

Beet Pesto Crostini

Earthy, vibrant beets combine with garlic and crunchy sunflower seeds in this unusual (and vegan) pesto appetizer. Unlike herb pestos, this keeps refrigerated for a few days, tightly covered.

 

 

 

Chicken & Asparagus with Melted Gruyere

A luxurious white wine sauce with tarragon, lemon and Gruyère cheese make this simple and elegant dish delicious.

 

 

 

Moroccan Carrot Radish Salad

Shredded salads are incredibly quick and easy, when you use the food processor. In this one, the peppery kick of radishes and sweet crunch of carrots are enhanced with the tangy lemon dressing. Sort through the radish leaves, discarding any wilted ones, and chop the good ones to toss with the salad.
