These chocolate chip cookies are light, puffy and filled with just the right amount of chocolate chips. They are perfectly crisp on the outside yet soft and gooey on the inside. 

This pasta dish is inspired by a meal that I had in Nashville at Rolf & Daughters. This recipe uses crème fraîche rather than heavy cream for a rich velvety alfredo sauce with a slightly tangy flavor.

Apple butter is a childhood favorite of mine. It's made from my favorite fall fruit mixed with a little bit of sugar and spice and is the perfect topping to a nice golden brown piece of toast. 

A weekend in New Orleans

Al pastor tacos consist of an amazing blend of marinated, tender and aromatic pork with pineapple.

These pork and shrimp filled wontons are tossed in a spicy chili oil sauce and served topped with cilantro, green onions and crispy shallots.

I’m talking real queso here. It’s a queso that even Texans approve of (and they’re hard to please when it comes to their prescious queso). 

This is one of my favorite summer weeknight meals as salmon cakes are perfect to eat out on the patio with a glass of white wine.
