Seasoned Greetings!
Everything from summer classics to decadent brunch fare to quick dinner dishes are on the menu this time around in our super summer summary for Seasoned Cooking:
The Picnic Roast Two-Step
An overnight braising step turns an inexpensive, but potentially tough roast into this summer's best tip for simple, delicious backyard entertaining. Let the slow cooker and the grill handle the meat and give yourself the job of finding great ways to showcase it instead.
Brunch Cake
Cake for breakfast? You bet! And you won't even feel guilty when it's brimming with citrusy goodness. Get a great brunch sweet that is loaded with orange juice and zest and just a little sugar. You'll be looking for a slice day after day.
Salad Crunch
I like a salad that has layers of color and texture. I look beyond croutons to find crunchy vegetables and unusual additions to spice things up a bit. Therefore, when some spicy quinoa puffs found their way to my pantry, I knew I had salad gold on hand!
Burger Bliss
When it's burger time, make sure you are putting together something worthy of company even if you're making a quick midweek dinner. It's good to make sure you are treating yourself in all those little ways that matter so much!
Toss It
Summer entertaining means being about to toss together a potluck ready side at a moment's notice. If you stock a few pantry items and have fresh spinach in your garden or refrigerator, we've got the perfect dish for you.
This Spud's for You
Some foods are just ingrained in the fabric of summer. This time around, we're focusing on one of the most traditional summer foods: potato salad. And this isn't just any tater salad, this one's rich, creamy and brimming with lots of dill flavor!
Weekday Shorts: Quick Sausage Pasta
Lazy days of summer often give way to schedules that are startlingly busy. Get dinner on the table in less than a half hour with a simple pasta dish that's brimming with flavor and sure to be a hit, even if picky eaters surround your table.
A Cup of Kisses
Summer entertaining begs for portable food that can be easily enjoyed in the great outdoors. This is also true when it comes to desserts. In that spirit, enjoy this grab and go recipe for brownie cups each sporting a delicious chocolate kiss!
Savory Brunch
A strata using leftover waffles brings a bit of decadence to the brunch table - which is precisely what brunch is for! Round it out with fresh fruit and all the fixings and you will have a weekend morning meal worthy of the name brunch.
