Deep Fried Turkey with Honey, Bourbon and Roasted Pecan Glaze

As much as I love to experiment with new recipes for almost any occasion, I love this Maple and Bacon Roasted Turkey so much that I can’t imagine not having it each year on Thanksgiving. After that effort which always entails a full day of cooking, I make a point of making Christmas easier. I [...]

Coconut Key Lime Tart with Honey Yogurt Topping

My friend Abby Dodge posted a recipe recently for Key Lime Tart and I remember thinking…if only we were lucky enough to get Key limes in Denver.

Red Pepper, Poblano, Jalapeno, Honey and Lime Sauce

Grilled Corn Salsa with Poblano Chiles, Cilantro and Honey

For some reason I’ve never been inclined towards corn salsa before. I guess I’ve always liked a tomatillo or tomato based variety and it just either sounded bland or I wasn’t crazy about using red peppers that I always saw in them (though that has gotten better). But that has all changed. Was it the [...]

Lemon Ricotta Pizza with Herbs and Honey

Someone I follow on Twitter commented on a pizza they had just had at a restaurant and my interest was piqued by the sound of lemon, onion, herb and ricotta toppings and finished with a lavender honey glaze.

Honey-Roasted Lamb Salad

Sliced lamb is presented atop a simple, elegant salad. A perfect first course or a light main course. This salad has become our family’s traditional Christmas Day meal. We love it and are ready for something delicious but simple to prepare. I ‘used to’ not care for lamb but this salad changed everything. Maybe it’s [...]
