Like the Olive Oil and Lemon Skillet Cake with Caramelized Meyer Lemons. The Lighten Up chapter offers desserts that are healthy with no sacrifice in flavor. Too much for you? You can compromise on Cucumber Mojitos or a Mango Pina Colada. Yes, there’s a nice Blueberry Limeade but you’ll probably be drawn to her Bacon Manhattans. Stuff to Sip On does not depart from Jessica’s obsessions. If I, personally, wanted to be happy, then I’d turn to Green Chili Turkey and White Bean Enchiladas, or perhaps the Mini Crab Cakes with Sweet Corn and Blueberry Salsa. If you want to be healthy, there are Zucchini Tacos with Grilled Corn Salsa. Tex-Mex, Burgers, Pizza and Everything Else opens with a bang: Jalapeno-Pineapple Pizza with a Bourbon BBQ Drizzle. Except, on the very next page there is the BBQ Chicken Chili which just might leave you dangling, just like the string of chicken meat atop the dense red chili broth in the accompanying picture. Between that title, and the picture, you may tempted to rush out and cook. Salad and Soups includes an Amaretto-Butternut Squash Soup with Cinnamon Toast Croutons. You’ll think you’ve been transported to Milan, the queen city of Italy for sandwiches. And there is the Oven-Toasted Artichoke, Roasted Red Pepper & Fresh Mozzarella Sandwich. Sandwiches and Stuff on Toasts includes a Green Grilled Cheese with Spinach. If you see the picture of Grilled Scallion Corn and Shrimp Quesadillas, you want to spend the next 20 minutes making them. Now you can actually snack healthy with BBQ Roasted Chickpeas using paprika, onion powder, garlic salt, chili powder, and, yes, just a little sugar.

Snacks can be consumed anytime: in bed in the morning, in bed at night, in bed at naptime. Less time? It’s only 20 minutes to Honey-Whole Wheat Yogurt Short Stacks with Blueberries. If you have 2 hours, you can make Whole Wheat Cinnamon Rolls with a coconut oil filling. Or, something simpler, Brown Sugar-Bacon Biscuits, made in just 30 minutes. Here are some of the best of the best ideas from the chapters of Seriously Delish.īreakfast can begin with Baked Black Raspberry Oatmeal with a Brown Butter Drizzle. From breakfast to bedtime, our appetites may activate at any time and this book is filled with ways to satisfy those wonderful, basic, slightly carnal cravings. You might call this a book about comfort food, for the everyday eating things we all crave. Spirit and spice do penetrate every recipe here. Not every one of those 150 recipes has one - let alone all - of those ingredients, but the spirit is there. Jessica admits to being focused on chocolate, browned butter, and bacon. You probably do, too, and you surely want to take a gander at Seriously Delish. Seriously Delish is subtitled “150 Recipes for People Who Totally Love Food.” Suzen and I qualify. It’s a great resource.Īnd now there’s a book, too. Here’s you’ll find a trifecta: strong writing, brilliant photography, and of course recipes you want to dive into.

Jessica Merchant describes herself as being intensely passionate about food and writing.
