A Summer Twist on Cassoulet
This Weeknight Summer Cassoulet takes inspiration from a date night at Passerelle Bistro in Greenville, SC. By swapping duck confit for pulled pork or rotisserie chicken and adding peak-season vegetables, it’s a lighter, fresher spin on the French classic, easy enough for a weeknight, but special enough to impress.
Air Fried Artic Char with an Easy Citrus Hollandaise
Years ago on Isle of Palms, SC, we had an special at The Boathouse at Breach Inlet: Arctic Char with veggies + citrus hollandaise. That memory popped up recently, so I had to try a copycat.

Spice Rubbed Pork Loin, Local Roasted Root Vegetables, Arugula and Mustard Jus

Healthy Mac’n Cheese – Vegetables, Tofu, Potato, Pasta and Cheese (REBOOT)
I made this before, several times in fact. Each time I’ve made it I’ve tweaked to make it better. I thought it would be good to repost/reboot it with the changes I’ve been making to make this dish even better.
Seared Scallops, French Green Lentils, Rainbow Chard, Purple Carrots with Satsuma and Soy Vinaigrette
