Spanish Chorizo and Leek Stuffed Pea Pods
Spanish Chorizo and Leek Stuffed Pea Pods are a great way to use your garden-harvested peas and to impress your next dinner guests!
If you haven’t caught on already, I am in full blown garden-harvest mode. Our garden is just over-flowing with beans, peas, zucchini, tomatoes, eggplant….. Last year I did an admittedly horrid job at using it all – not this year. Goal #1: to not let any of our garden go to waste. Goal #2: Try to come up with new/different ways and recipes to use everything. I am pretty pumped to share this new way to serve your peas – seriously really, really good. You are going to want to save this one for your next dinner party.

Baked Brie Grilled Cheese with Sweet Basil and Boysenberry Jam
Baked Brie Grilled Cheese with Sweet Basil and Boysenberry Jam is a new (slightly sophisticated) spin on the old classic!
I am completely in love with this sandwich! My own personal baked brie that I don’t have to share with anyone! How have I not thought of this before? It is like a grilled cheese/baked brie/peanut butter and jelly all wrapped into one…. but better. The basil is a must and adds the little something extra to really bring this to the next level. Your grown-up grilled cheese. Devour, my friends.

Blackened Green Beans with Chorizo and Pine Nuts
Blackened Green Beans with Spanish Chorizo, Pine Nuts and Fresh Lemon Zest is a great way to reinvent those fresh green beans that are ripe for the picking – this will be your new favorite side dish!
So if you a) have a vegetable garden or b) have gone to the grocery store lately, you know that it is officially “green bean season.” If you have a vegetable garden, which I do, there is nothing quite like picking a fresh green bean off of the vine and chomping down on it – soooo good! But, even I have to admit that after about 5-10, you are kind of good to go. What in the heck am I supposed to do with the rest of these green beans? Well guys – read on, because I think I just came up with our new favorite summer side dish!

Chicken Liver Pate
Chicken liver pate. Not something you would typically see on my weekly menu …. or many restaurant’s menus …. maybe just fancy party menus. Nevertheless, it has been on my cooking wish list for months. Finally, I had the opportunity to make it and it didn’t disappoint. It was velvety, rich and oh-so-spreadable. Adding melted butter on top and a pinch of apricot preserve is the perfect touch. This is a must-try for your next gathering and your charcuterie platter.
