Each recipe I post on Savoring Today has been tested and enjoyed, personally. Today I thought it would be fun to post an untested new recipe that we could try together. Why would we do that? It just might be fun. At least, that’s this foodie’s point of view and it might even transform a good [...]

Thai Cocktail Sauce for Seafood
When we splurge on wild-caught shrimp for our Sweetheart Dinner appetizer, dressing it with ketchup and horseradish does not suffice. This Thai Cocktail Sauce more than fit the bill with its tangy, sweet, subtle spice culminating in a complex finish—we even dipped our Prosciutto-Wrapped Shrimp & Goat Cheese in it. The tell of any great [...]
Prosciutto-Wrapped Shrimp and Goat Cheese
Crispy prosciutto, herb-infused goat cheese, and shrimp all rolled together into an exquisite appetizer for our Sweetheart Dinner. We enjoyed it so much we think it would be great served with a garden salad for an easy weekday meal. Appetizer or main dish, this recipe is sure to bring out the oohs and aahs in [...]
Bacon Wrapped Dates with Herbed Goat Cheese
As promised, I am posting the recipes from our Sweetheart Dinner last week. Dinner began with three delicious appetizers; the Bacon Wrapped Dates with Herbed Goat Cheese were scrumptious. Savory herbs blended into tangy goat cheese, stuffed inside sweet dates, and wrapped with bacon for a uniquely sweet, savory, smoky appetizer. Applewood-smoked bacon from our [...]
Light ‘Em if You’ve Got ‘Em
Grilling Tips: Gas or briquettes, it doesn’t matter, if you’ve got ‘em, light ‘em. So what do you do when you have a Saturday in February with temperatures above 50°? Grill here; grill now. As much as I love the soups and comfort foods of winter, it is so good to enjoy the reminiscent flavors [...]
Feature Fridays: DON’T MESS WITH MY COFFEE (via Poet in the Rain)
Today it did not take more than one cup of coffee (bummer) to find a unique blog post to feature. I suppose I’ll just let their poetry about coffee suffice. I like the lighter side of Fridays, I like poetry, and I love coffee—life is just better with coffee, especially if a friend is sitting [...]
Going Wild with Blackened Salmon
Wild-caught salmon is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, essential to a healthy diet. Fish is one of those areas of life it is best to go wild. It is superior in taste and nutrition to farm raised, which can be a host for unwanted contaminants. For additional information about the differences between wild and farm [...]
Sweet Potato Hash Browns: Extra-Ordinary Breakfast Food
Who doesn’t like crispy hash browns resting beside their eggs for breakfast, but is there a healthier choice than classic shredded russets fried in canola oil? Yes, the answer is sweet potato hash browns cooked in coconut oil. Not really potatoes at all, sweet potatoes are rising in popularity and for good reason—savvy consumers are [...]
Sweetheart Dinner
We celebrated a delightful Valentine’s Day on Saturday filled with soothing music, delicious food, and sweet moments. No hype, no hoopla, just us. The added bonus is that we discovered some amazing appetizer recipes that I’ll pass along soon—here’s a few pics to share for now. Amazing appetizers to start the evening.
Feature Fridays: this one goes out to the ones I love (via nom! nom! nom! blog)
Ah, Friday, a warm cup of French press coffee in my hand (usually a second cup) and interesting food blogs to visit on the agenda. I liked this post because I do like chocolate cake (just don’t eat it as much anymore) and had a good laugh remembering Bill Cosby’s Dad Is Great routine—very fun [...]
