Lime Pie Cups
We had some friends for dinner last night and I came up with these (no bake) Lime Pie Cups. It's way too hot to be baking! I don't usually create desserts, but I have to say it turned out very well. The sweet graham-cracker crust makes this semi-tart pie a winner.

Grilled Corn Salad with Chili-Miso Dressing
I love making spinach salads because you can put the dressing on in advance and it won't wilt as quickly as lettuce. This Grilled Corn Salad with Chili-Miso Dressing takes your salad "out of the ordinary" category. The combination of chili and miso delivers spicy umami flavor. Truth be told, I cheated and bought already grilled frozen corn from Trader Joe's. I try to always have it in the freezer. It has a great smoky flavor.

Chopped Roasted Beet and Blue Cheese Salad
I love beets, especially picked ones. I could eat them for breakfast! This Chopped Roasted Beet and Blue Cheese Salad combines the earthiness of the beets with a tangy vinaigrette, fresh dill (another favorite!) and chopped green onions. I'm sure not everyone will eat this at my dinner table, but certainly will!

Peaches in Rosemary Glaze
I love peaches, but it seems like I buy them rock hard and then the next time I check them, they are rotten! I feel like there is a 20-minute window to eat perfect peaches! These Peaches in Rosemary Glaze are so simple and the perfect way to eat them. You can use them with ice cream, yogurt or in a tart. This recipe is inspired by Yotam Ottolenghi.

Perfectly Crispy Potatoes
This recipe for Perfectly Crispy Potatoes uses baking soda, which provides an alkaline environment so the exterior of the potatoes soften quicker. I am always on a quest to find new potato recipes. Getting them crispy without a commercial deep fryer at home is the big challenge. The result is a more crisp crust.

Shrimp with Pancetta and Rosemary
My husband and I went to Venice on our honeymoon about 28 years ago. We went back several times after that. Our favorite thing to do was eat a big meal at lunch and then at night go to these little chichetti bars that dot Venice. Cicchetti are small, appetizer bites that one enjoys with a glass of wine at various bacari (local bars). When in Venice is strongly recommend to throw away your map and simply get lost. This is how you find the magic. This Shrimp with Pancetta and Rosemary dish is one of the bar snacks you can also serve it over pasta for dinner.

Chili Lime Chicken Burgers
These Chili Lime Chicken Burgers are a copy of the ones you can buy at Trader Joe's. Instead of guacamole, I just put slices of avocado on top. They are citrusy and spicy. What more could you ask for?!
