Read MoreCranberry Pomegranate Relish

This cranberry-pomegranate blend is just really, really tasty! A wonderful compliment to steak, cheese, creamed greens...
Read MoreDouble Grape, Rosemary and Pine Nut Compote
/
When fall approaches, the canner in me starts to envision hearty sweet-savory compotes rather than summer fruit jams. This compote just screams out to be enjoyed with grilled or roasted meat on a cool evening, atop hot polenta and taleggio and would also be absolutely wonderful on your Thanksgiving table. The concord grape base nicely supports the addition of rosemary, garlic, black grapes and brown sugared-pine nuts and the flavors interplay in a truly sublime way.
Read MoreRhubarb Cherry Hibiscus Crumble

This is the perfect dessert to bake in the fleeting moments that rhubarb and cherries' seasons overlap; rhubarb's tartness tames the cherries' sweetness, and the hibiscus keeps you digging your spoon in until the whole thing is magically gone.

Read MorePecan Oatmeal Pie

This is my favorite-ever pecan pie. The oats are the perfect foil to the intense sweetness of the sugary filling, and the saltiness of my family pie crust provides a delicious counterpoint too.
Read MoreWhole Wheat Oatmeal Pancakes
/
In DC, there's a great breakfast/brunch spot called Open City. My favorite dish on its menu is the multigrain pancakes, and this recipe from epicurious is a very good approximation. Hearty, flavorful, these fill you up but don't weigh you down.
