Herb Goat Cheese with Red Pepper Jelly
Red pepper jelly is one of those ingredients I always keep in my frig. It pairs perfectly with goat cheese and turns an ordinary grilled cheese into something special. I love Laurie Joe’s jellies from South Georgia – her peach red pepper jelly is outstanding!

Vanilla Ice Cream with Balsamic Strawberries
This recipe is so easy, but so good! Use strawberries that are rip and in season – it makes all the difference.
-
Marinated Olives
Many of our major grocery stores have olive bars filled with beautiful choices. Marinating your own is super easy and they are always great to have on hand when unexpected guests arrive.

Fresh Strawberry Bellinis
When fresh strawberries are in season this cocktail is the perfect way to start your evening. Prosecco is the Italian’s version of Champagne and Cava’s is Spain’s. Either will work and they are both very affordable.

Spring Vegetable Couscous with Roasted Shrimp
I love one-dish meals and this one is my new favorite. This recipe feeds an army, but it is also great to make at the beginning of the week and enjoy for lunches. If are serving this dish for dinner and making it ahead of time, I recommend bringing it to room temperature before serving versus reheating.
-
Asparagus Soup with Lemon Cream
This simple soup incorporates all my favorite spring flavors: Vidalia onions, mint, and lemon.
-
Lemon Tart with Fresh Raspberries
A small sliver of this tart is the perfect ending to a meal without being too filling.

Warm Potato and Spinach Salad With Mustard Vinaigrette
Yukon Gold and fingerling potatoes have a dense, creamy texture and are perfect for roasting. This warm salad also pairs well with sliced flank steak and blue cheese for a one-dish meal.
-
Artichoke and Goat Cheese Stuffed Chicken
This dish is perfect for a dinner party, not too labor intensive, and will certainly impress everyone. You can easily stuff the chicken ahead of time and pop them in the fridge. Just let them sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes before cooking.

White Bean and Rosemary Crostini
Serve this as a dip or spread on crostini for a more formal touch. I always enjoy leftovers on a sandwich loaded with vegetables.
