New England [Heart and] Kitchen By Grace Vallo
Imagine a crispy, spicy, salty, and slightly sweet glaze coating on a bowl full of mixed nuts.
Creamy Truffle Infused Burrata, on a bed of crispy roasted asparagus and shallot rings, topped with bursting roasted tomatoes, black peppercorns, and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
But what if cookie dough carried no health risks (besides the sugar overdose).
This meatloaf is fantastic served both hot and cold.
Instead of simply adding cream to the mix, I use a 50/50 ratio of cream and ice cream.
The natural sweetness and slight smokiness of roasted eggplant are intensified by adding just a few ingredients: cayenne, smoked paprika, oregano, extra virgin olive oil, and garlic.
Tart fresh raspberries intertwine with toasted coconut flakes and buttery toasted pecans.
Today’s bowl-licking spread is creamy sweet potato with minced garlic, extra virgin olive oil, and crunchy, salty, buttery marcona almonds.
In this dish, each piece of pasta fills up with chunks of crumbled sausage and crushed tomato as it’s tossed in a luxurious basil-scented sauce hit with just a touch of cream to create a silky richness.
I had to work this weekend so after work on Saturday, I couldn’t wait to kick back and relax with a lovely, tall glass of red wine.
Baby kale, drizzled with a sherry wine vinaigrette and tossed with smoky Applewood bacon.
Sweet balsamic vinegar and bursts of corn combine with the slight bitterness of arugula.
Warm, buttery, tender shortbread cookies, loaded with chopped pecans and a hint of vanilla.
I'm making a Strawberry Mango Bellini to celebrate Spring with sweet mango puree and fresh strawberry juice squeezed into some bubbly.
My favorite way of cooking asparagus is roasting it on high heat so it frizzles on the ends.
Creamy cannellini beans, thinly sliced Vidalia onion, buttery and salty Castelvetrano olives, lemony dressing, sharp Italian cheese - I'm all smiles.
In a salsa I'm topping on grilled chicken, I'm combining the strawberries with juicy peaches, garden chives, and a touch of fresh lime.
Although I LOVE basil pesto, this pesto is such a cool change of pace.
