Sweet and spicy meet when Sriracha is added to Peanut Butter cookies from The Sugar Pixie. Must have additions include chocolate chips, or top with a Chocolate Hershey’s Kiss like a Peanut Butter Blossom.
Spring
Hugo Rita
The key to a great margarita is the ingredients; if you cut corners on the staples you cut the flavor! For Hugo’s Rita you’ll need Sauza Silver, Triple Sec, simple syrup and fresh lime juice.

Poireaux Vinaigrette
This came from a nice French bistro, Vaucluse, on NYC’s Upper East Side. I’ve made the recipe at home and it was very easy and quite delish! Grilled leeks with toasted almonds in a mustard seed vinaigrette.
Chicken Fried Brussels Sprouts
Chicken Fried Brussels Sprouts with Duck Fat Peppered Gravy from my friends at Kirby’s Steakhouse! A scrumptious twist to this glorified southern side.

Tender Brussels Sprouts sprinkled right in to this sizable Caesar, alongside dried cranberries, candied almonds with freshly grated Parmesan. From Executive Chef Brady Cohen at Salty Sow. Enjoy!

An awesome appetizer or savory side dish from Executive Chef David Skinner of Eculent. It’s the grainy mustard sauce that will win you over!
Chilled Kale Quinoa Salad
This kale and quinoa salad couldn’t be easier to throw together! Toss the ingredients into a large pan, heat, then chill before serving. A super healthy fixing from my friends at FOND bone broth.
Fond-A-Roux
Never underestimate the power of a good gravy. This recipe is simple and incredibly flavorful thanks to the bone broth. It will have you saying “put a roux on it” for every culinary instance going forward!
Yellowbird Vegan Chili
This might be the most delicious veggie chili you’ll ever consume! It’s especially great for the cold winter months — super rich and super spicy. Make this recipe on Sunday night to enjoy throughout the week or cut it in half to enjoy for one night.
Turkey Chili
Zedric’s Turkey Chili is made with lean ground turkey, black beans, corn, tomatoes, poblano peppers, onions, cilantro, cumin and ancho chile powder. This is a tasty, but light, dish that you’re sure to love!
Zinc’s Texas Chopped Salmon Salad
A Zinc specialty: Tequila cured salmon with arugula, pepitas, cotija cheese, pearl couscous, sweet dried corn in a creamy, rich basil pesto dressing. Ta-da!
Stuffed Cherry Tomatoes
“There are hundreds of kinds of cherry tomatoes, wonderful for muddling and pickling, but equally great for their firm and delicate texture. Just the stems alone are a work of art. They also make for an opening sensation. They are the perfect bite-size treat, with lots of flavor and juice.” – Cocktail Chef Matthew Biancaniello
