	Corn-Tomato Salsa by Rivertree Kitchen This is almost more of a salad than a true salsa, and showcases the best of summer vegetables. Sweet corn and red bell peppers balance the acidity of the fresh tomatoes. Control the heat of the salsa with the type of chile you choose.	1 vote 3657 views
	Steak and Potato Skillet with Summer Squash by Rivertree Kitchen Cooking a the ingredients in the same pot builds layers of flavor. If you have a cast iron skillet, use it for this recipe. If not, don't let that stop you. Waxy potatoes will keep their shape better than baking potatoes.	1 vote 2464 views
	Toasty Coconut Macaroons by Rivertree Kitchen Credit really goes to Alton Brown for this recipe; I've altered it very little. These coconut bites are delightfully chewy and not overly sweet. Since they're made of egg whites, coconut, a small amount of sugar and dark chocolate, they're also pretty darned healthy.	1 vote 2063 views
	Potato-Prosciutto Pizza by Rivertree Kitchen The key with potato pizza is to keep it from being dry and bland. The addition of a few very flavorful ingredients (pesto, parmesan, prosciutto, and homemade ricotta) solve this problem in a most delicious way. Use calamata olives instead of the prosciutto for a vegetarian version.	1 vote 1414 views
	Peach, Prosciutto and Ricotta Crostini by Rivertree Kitchen These amazing appetizers were the happy result of an experiment. Sweet, salty, tangy, creamy, crunchy, buttery-smooth, all in one bite. The pleasure is enhanced by its limited availability: these crostini can only be made with fresh, in-season peaches. (Okay, in-season nectarines will also work. Or maybe really ripe pears? Hmm….)	1 vote 3374 views
	Pear-Apple Crisp by Rivertree Kitchen We grew up on my mom's classic apple crisp. I added pears to the filling, along with a warm, sweet Indian spice blend called vindaloo. (It's equally good with Chinese five-spice powder, or any basic baking spice such as cinnamon or powdered ginger.) Pecans and oats add texture to the buttery brown sugar topping.	1 vote 1293 views
	Carrots with Honey and Chiles by Rivertree Kitchen Take your basic glazed carrots, lighten up a bit on the butter and sugar, add a chile, and you have a modern take on a classic dish.	2 votes 1824 views
	Roasted Potato Soup by Rivertree Kitchen Roasting the cubed potatoes until golden adds deep flavor to this soup. You can stir in a bit of heavy cream in place of the sour cream, or add a handful of grated cheddar to the hot soup. It's also delicious with some crumbled bacon on top.	2 votes 2336 views
