Fabulous uses for the Hot Raspberry Chipotle Sauce


I am in love with this sauce!  It has a wonderful blend of sweetness with a touch of chipotle at the end.  I could almost drink it right out of the bottle, but that might be a bit much.  Here are a few serving suggestions my friends and I have come up with:
~ Serve with cream cheese and Wheat Thins.  I use a butter knife to score the top of a block of cream cheese so that the sauce stays on the cheese rather than the serving plate.
~ Serve with baked Brie and water crackers.  I am looking forward to trying this one myself using phyllo dough to wrap the cheese with the sauce before baking.
~ The Hot Raspberry Chipotle Sauce is incredible when you use it to baste chicken or pork on the grill.  My friend Camille used it on salmon steaks last night and loved it!
~ Thin the sauce with extra virgin olive oil, apple cider vinegar to make a delicious salad dressing.  Catherine used this last week to dress a spinach salad with fresh button mushrooms, red onions, candied walnuts and pomegranate seeds.  It was as wonderful to look at as it was to eat!

I would love to hear your suggestions!

30 Days of Faves


I just love the antique feel to these items in our Vineyard Ceramics selection.  If you have any heirloom dishes or serving pieces that you love then this collection is for you!  The red bowl is shown here used as a planter, but you can use it for serving or as a unique centerpiece.  It would be so pretty filled with silver Christmas balls at the holidays, don't you think?  The white vase is shown used for a woody florals here.  Wouldn't you like to use it as an eye-catching wine carafe? 

These items are of course food safe and prices start at $24.98.  Check out my catalog HERE for more details. 

You can earn a FREE shopping spree by hosting your own party.  Connect with me for details and schedule.

30 Days of Faves

One of my fondest memories revolves around bread.  My mother is a wonderful cook and has always made breads from scratch.  If you are looking for moist cornbread, fluffy biscuits or melt-in-your-mouth dinner rolls, Mama's house is the place to go.  As a kid, I always loved homemade loaves of bread right out of the oven with butter.  The pieces would be almost too hot to hold but just cool enough to chew.  Perhaps this is one of the reasons I love to cook although I'm nowhere near her caliber.  I am looking forward to the Biltmore Inspirations Quick Mixes to bring these savories to my family on my crazy schedule!



We have six delicious items in our Quick Mix collection:  Hearty White Bread, Popover, Savory Tuscan Bread, Oatmeal Pie Crust, Hearty Wheat Bread and Sweet Delights Bread.  Each Mix is sold in sets of two or in special variety sets of three.  Stock your pantry so that you can create memory making meals for your family.  I know they're worth it!

Selection information is available HERE.

30 Days of Faves


I have been on the run all day today and most of it has been outdoors in blazing 98 degree heat, and I'm THIRSTY!  I've chugged water all afternoon, but the craving for something ice cold and sweet has been overwhelming this evening.  I just wish I had the Summer Harvest Set of Flavoring Syrups from Biltmore Inspirations.  This variety package of flavoring syrups includes Red Raspberry, Wild Blackberry and Southern Peach flavorings that you can add to a number of recipes to enhance taste.  But the best use of these syrups on a hot summer day like today is to mix a little syrup with club soda and serve over crushed ice with a thick slice of lemon and maybe a few frozen berries!  I so wish I had one right now!

Don't be shy about trying them in other recipes.  Mix the Southern Peach syrup with a little honey and coarsely ground mustard for a wonderful glaze on ham or thin it a bit with little apple cider vinegar for a great marinade on pork chops.  Use the Red Raspberry syrup to create a lovely dressing to top a summer salad to serve with your entree.  And sip your Wild Blackberry "fizz" while you keep an eye on the grill.  Oooh.  I'm getting hungry!

This variety set includes all three syrups listed above and can be yours for just $39.98.  Or you can take advantage of our fabulous (and delicious) July Customer Special and get all three for $19.98 with any $29.98 purchase from our catalog.   Better yet, invite a few friends over for a Biltmore Inspirations party and it can be yours FREE.  Contact me for details or to schedule your party, but don't delay.  My calendar is filling fast!
