Blackberry-Pinot Noir Glazed Pork. A fancy-pants version of the infamous cocktail weinies.

I threw a “Trashy to Classy” cocktail party this weekend. What trashy dish inspired these blackberry-glazed pork skewers?

Grilled Asparagus Panzanella – the perfect spring dinner.

Grilled Bruschetta with Prosciutto and Mozzarella

Steakhouse Mushroom Burgers with Creamy Spinach Sauce. All the flavors of a steak dinner in a burger.

Baked Tex-Mex Pimiento Cheese Dip. My two worlds collide in this Southern-Mexican fusion dish.

Blackberry Pie Bars

Tropical Fruit Sorbet – a taste of the tropics

Barbecued Chicken Kebabs – no dry/overcooked chicken here. Thanks to… bacon paste?!

Shrimp Quesadillas with Mango Salsa + Cinco de Mayo ideas

Vegetable Enchiladas – a healthy vegetarian option for Cinco de Mayo. I promise that you won’t miss the meat!

Individual Danish Pastries. Quite possibly the best thing I’ve ever made.

Blueberry-Goat Cheese Focaccia – a successful kitchen experiment!

Peanut Butter Fudge Oatmeal Candy Bars. Yum.

Shrimp Rolls – Fresh and simple shrimp salad on a toasted bun. Perfect warm-weather fare.

Caramel-Filled Brownies

Buttermilk Drop Biscuits – a low-maintenance alternative to traditional rolled biscuits. Still buttery and delicious though!

Strawberry Ricotta Cake – angel food cake layered with sweet ricotta filling and topped with whipped cream and fresh strawberries.

Banana-Chocolate Chip Upside Down Cake. Yes, please.

Oven-Fried Onion Rings. You will never guess what’s used to bread these.
