  • Savory meals are ahh-mazing. For dinner I made my easy and quick scratch Creamy Roasted Red Pepper pasta sauce with tortellini, roasted asparagus, and Josh mastered the grill for the best charred steaks. 😋 

And now I'm full. 

Here's the sauce recipe for two:

2 jarred roasted red peppers, chopped
1 small onion, diced fine
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 3/4 cups water
1/4 cup cream, plus 1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon vegetable base (or chicken)
1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
Salt and pepper to taste
Olive oil

Instructions:

1. Heat oil in a medium sauce pan. 
2. Add onions and cook until softened, then add garlic, sauteing until fragrant, about one minute.
3. Stir in chopped peppers, water, seasonings, and base. Scrap up all the bits from the bottom of the pan.
4. Simmer on high until liquid reduces by half.
5. Add cornstarch to cream. Whisk into pepper sauce until thickened.

Toss in cooked pasta and garnish with parmesan and red pepper flakes.

Some substitutions and variations:
⏩Use broth instead of base and water.
⏩ Deglaze the pan with a splash of white wine.
⏩ Add bacon and/or spinach.
⏩ Use roasted garlic, a bunch!
⏩ Make a rue instead of using cornstarch.
⏩ Make it cheesy with a good melting cheese like Gruyere.

That's the best thing about sauces though, right? How versatile they are. Enjoy! 🍴🥣

  • I absolutely love baking scones. These Cranberry Walnut scones are my favorite. I use fresh cranberries for a pop of tartness with the sweet biscuit, plus chunks of toasty walnuts for that soft, nutty flavor.

This is one of many flavors available to order for my local area! 

Keep an eye out for Ladle and Grain coming soon to Farmer Markets and other events in Lakeland, FL.
