Zucchini Muffins
When completing my weekly Whole Foods run on Sunday morning, I didn't intend to purchase any goods other than vegetables and proteins (and cheese, of course); after Thanksgiving feasting, Alex and I had vowed to detox. However, I will confess: I managed to turn one such vegetable into a baked breakfast-snack-dessert combination to which I've never been more addicted.
Jumbo Lump Crab & Hominy Risotto
The richness of risotto is absolutely perfect for this time of year. I especially love how much the winter white theme of the Caramelized Supper Club comes through; the subtle sweetness of crab and hominy balance the sharp parmesan and bite of al dente arborio rice. Cozy up to a bowl with crisp white wine or champagne. You'll never forget this one!
White Asparagus & Radish Salad
Roasted Garlic Artichokes
Mimi's Cinnamon Raisin Challah Bread
Challah bread is the coveted tradition of my Jewish upbringing; it's the sweet and unifying symbol of our Shabbas meal together every Friday evening, whether spent with family or friends or during Jewish Summer Camp meals where I met my husband. It's also the greatest french toast foundation out there.
