Four Ways to Savor the Week
The Friday Four
The Friday Four is Nancy’s signature weekly note—delivered straight to your inbox. Just four things, thoughtfully chosen: a vibrant, healthy recipe, a smart kitchen tip, a creative spark, and a wine find worth sipping.
Friday Four – Irrestible Peanut Ginger Sauce – 062725
Make this easy Peanut Ginger sauce and make friends😀 You’ll find SO many uses for it!
Friday Four – Happy Summer Watermelon Salad – 062025
Beets are a dividing food – you love them or hate them🙃 If you aren’t a lover, try substituting roasted carrots or roasted radishes for the beets! Just like the beets, the roasty toasty flavor of the carrots and radishes will enhance the creamy cheesy taste of the cheese and the walnuts.
Friday Four – Cherry Salsa Topped Pork Loin – 061325
No one will be unhappy at the table if you serve this up for Father’s Day!
Friday Four – Summer Salmon with Bright Green Salsa – 060625
Perfect for a rainy evening as a sheet pan dinner – or super from the grill!
