XOXO PROSCIUTTO-WRAPPED SCALLOPS
WITH ONE COMMENT
Pan seared scallops are quick and easy to make. We take them up a notch by wrapping them in prosciutto and serving them on a bed of corn and roasted pepper risotto. We place red pepper X's between each round mollusk so the serving plate reads " O X O X O," or Hug, Kiss, Hug, Kiss, Hug. What could be more appropriate on Valentine's Day?

KALE SOUP WITH CHORIZO, POTATOES AND WHITE BEANS
WITH 2 COMMENTS
For this kale soup I use lacinato or dinosaur kale, fresh Mexican chorizo, red mini potatoes and cannellini white beans. It has similar ingredients to Portuguese kale soup or Caldo Verde, but instead of using chourico sausage, I use Mexican-style chorizo, which is crumblier and spicier.
MINTED SOUS VIDE CARROTS WITH BALSAMIC VINEGAR AND GOAT CHEESE
WITH 2 COMMENTS
The best sous vide vegetables are root vegetables. These sous vide carrots are fresh, rich and delicious. They are cooked at a relatively high sous vide temperature of 183 degrees F and then briefly sauteed in a pan to create a glaze. The prep is simple and you can ignore them for an hour while they hang out in the sous vide bath. Sous vide carrots cook in their own juices giving them a dense carrot flavor and great texture.

WATERMELON, FETA AND TOMATO KABOBS
WITH 2 COMMENTS
These skewers are perfect no-cook, super-easy summer appetizers. I have not included ingredient amounts as the recipe can be created for just a couple people or increased for a large bash. Just remember one watermelon square, one cube feta, one cherry tomato, one basil leaf and one mint leaf per skewer. Time to prepare depends on how many skewers you are making.
