Sprinkled with rosemary and a bit of sea salt, each bite delivers a complex contrast of simple flavors… buttery sweetness balanced by the tang of salt, the juiciness of the fruit countering the crisp crust of the bread.  Read more about this recipe at Cook & Eat.

Thumb_11222_Mango, Blueberry And Ginger Salad

Sweet tropical mangoes, ripe but tamer blueberries, spicy ginger and tart lime juice are a match made in heaven. Have this versatile salad for lunch with cottage cheese, topped with whipped cream as dessert, or alongside roasted pork tenderloin.

Thumb_11261_Steel-Cut Oatmeal With Cherries, Apricots, Pecans And Basil

While oatmeal with fruit is a fine enough breakfast on its own, we always love to throw in an herb and nut for flavor and texture. Here, we used basil and pecans, but you could also use mint or rosemary and almonds or walnuts.

Originally a blend of tomato juice and vodka, the Bloody Mary has taken to include ingredients as diverse as basil and roasted garlic. I stick with a pretty classic version -- no big surprises. This recipe comes from Rob Chirico's Hair of the Dog. For more of Rob's great cocktails, buy his Field Guide to Cocktails.

Cherry tomatoes take less work to roast than peeled, seeded whole tomatoes, which can be cooked in the same way once prepped.

The slightly prickly and bitter frisée, technically an endive and member of the chicory family, is a beautiful contrast to richer dishes, and goes so well with this dark and smoky bacon vinaigrette.

Thumb_9869_Zucchini-Sweet Potato Bread

Thumb_9869_Zucchini-Sweet Potato Bread

Based on my grandmother’s recipe for zucchini bread, updated only with a bit of whole wheat flour and a smidge more baking soda, this breakfast treat isn’t as avante garde as it sounds. You’ll love the sweetness the potato adds, but probably won’t notice its flavor. Read more about this recipe at hogwash.
