Appetizers
Strawberry Bruschetta
Strawberry Bruschetta: a simple summer appetizer that'll be a hit at your next gathering! Last summer, I whipped this up with half of a baguette that was leftover from making panzanella. I had a few friends over for dinner, and this was gone in a flash! The basil, strawberries, and feta work so well together. (If you aren't a feta fan, you can use goat cheese instead.) I particularly enjoy ...
Blistered Shishito Peppers with Ponzu Sauce
Last summer, I had the pleasure of spending a weekend in Nantucket celebrating my friend's upcoming nuptials. There were so many things to love about the restaurant scene in Nantucket, but my favorite dinner experience had to be at Nautilus. The calamari was out of this world, as was the crudo of the night and the blue crab fried rice. Between several of their more complex plates, the shishito ...
Buffalo Cauliflower with Creamy Gorgonzola Dressing
Let's be honest: there are some dishes that just can't be duplicated or “made healthy.” For me, one of those dishes is buffalo hot wings. I love a good wing -- I’m partial to the flats and can expertly finish one in one bite! And while they do offer a good amount of protein, deep fried chicken skin tossed in butter and hot sauce is not the healthiest choice. That being said, I want to preface ...
Smoked Jalapeño Poppers
At Fridge to Fork, we LOVE football! Not only do we love rooting for our Dawgs, we may love tailgating food even more! From cheese straws to sliders to boiled peanuts, there's always something to love. Tailgating brings about a sense of community that spans all generations. It's hard to beat that familiar feeling of setting up at the stadium on game day or cheering on your team in your living ...
Crostini with Burrata + Peaches
Burrata & Peaches: two things I can't get enough of. This summer, the beau and I have been living on a diet of peaches and tomatoes. (A bit of an exaggeration, but they do currently qualify for our core food groups.) Sadly, I haven't found many ripe peaches here in Virginia like I'm accustomed to back home. Which is why on a recent trip to Blackberry Farm in Tennessee, I brought home a ...
Strawberry Mignonette
There is nothing that reminds me of summer and the beach more than raw oysters! While I love the salty, briny little bivalves, I like them best with toppings. Sometimes the saltine with a touch of cocktail sauce is all I need, but when I’m feeling fancy I’ll whip up a mignonette! Traditionally mignonette is made with red wine vinegar, shallots, and pepper. This makes for a beautiful flavor ...
Pear + Prosciutto Appetizer
I love to host people, whether it be for a long weekend or just for a couple glasses of wine. It always excites me, and I want everything to be perfect. For me the greatest compliment is hearing that my friends have enjoyed my hospitality!! When hosting, I feel it's my job to make everyone comfortable. I try to anticipate the needs of my guests so that there's no stress -- just great ...
Edamame Hummus
Edamame hummus is a great alternative to a traditional chick pea hummus. Edamame is packed with plant based protein and fiber! The bright green color of the edamame makes this dish visually appealing as well. We utilized mint in the recipe to give the hummus a refreshing zing but still stayed true to hummus incorporating tahini and olive oil. You can traditionally serve with ...
Spicy Edamame Dipping Sauce
We can't get enough of dipping sauces! Steamed edamame is a simple appetizer or side dish that you can whip out on a moments notice when guests come over unannounced. Soy sauce is your typical dipping sauce, but we wanted to put a healthy spin on the savory umami flavor. The issue comes when trying to find a good dipping sauce as soy sauce and even low sodium soy sauce can still contain ...
