Facebook is a place to share small glimpses of the recipes we’ve been enjoying behind the scenes. The things we eat and love.

The recipes we have created over and over, season after season are the same. We want to share them all and it takes time to get them up because there needs to be a photo of the recipe when it gets uploaded. We’ve been making the recipes for years, but we haven’t been taking pictures of our food as long.

Fall is here and the next chapter begins. Our website has a new look. The visual changes aren’t drastic they’re intentionally subtle. The content has not changed. The details are simply refreshed.

Thank you for being a part of Recipe Designery. We hope you visit often and are enjoying some of our favorites. If you sign up on our email list, you’ll get an email anytime a new recipe is added.

In a hurry for a quick simple meal?

Try grilled chicken, lemon roasted asparagus, and some chili rubbed olives.

My spouse thinks this is “Deceptively Delicious”! 🤤 I am so happy he loves my cooking.

Moussaka was the perfect recipe for the eggplant I purchased from Blessed Creek Farm at the Jonesborough market.

Moussaka has a rich history, with its origins likely tracing back to the 13th-century Arabic dish called "maghmuma," which consisted of layers of eggplant and meat. The recipe I made is a traditional Greek version with multiple layers that consisted of: meat sauce, eggplant, roasted potatoes, and creamy béchamel sauce.

I learned to make béchamel sauce almost 30 years ago when I was making a Sorrel soup recipe with fresh CSA ingredients in Alaska. Although the recipe I followed here was definitely written by a Greek cook, I did not follow her sauce instructions as I make a MUCH better version. 🎯

This is definitely a weekend recipe and not one you want to start when you get home from a long work day. The recipe said the prep was 45 minutes and the cook time was 60 minutes, which meant that this should’ve taken 1 hour and 45 minutes. With all of the components of this recipe, it took me almost 3 hours. I’m not complaining, it is definitely worth it. If you have some eggplant and a little extra time for an incredible meal, this is the one. It was delicious!

Every year, as Spring transitions to Summer and Summer transitions into Fall, my sister transforms her kitchen into a vibrant canning hub. Her love for canning makes it a great hobby for her. She has a unique talent for turning fresh produce into deliciously preserved special treasures that people LOVE.

Today’s canning project has her making HOT 🥵 Pickled RED HOT Links. There is always someone that is ready to have her make a fresh batch of these and she’s up for the challenge.

She has to wear a mask to make these crazy things. I tell her she does not charge enough because even with a mask on there’s sneezing, coughing and the perception of the possibility of an early death. I want to know how her customer eats these things! 🤦🏻‍♀️😵‍💫🔥

The POWER happens when she mixes the spices with the vinegar and water. She had the stove fan on, front door open with the screen door closed and the sliding glass door open with a stand fan blowing out…all that STILL barely combats the BURN! She loves making these.

The origins of banana pudding can be traced back to the American South and early 20th-century cookbooks. Over the years, families across generations have adopted, perfected, and recreated this dessert as their own.

You will see it at cookouts, holidays, and Sunday dinners, serving as a symbol of celebration, and comfort. For many, it brings them immediately back to Grandma’s kitchen, those amazing Sunday suppers, and the family gatherings where banana pudding was always the grand finale.

It’s rich in flavor, layered with creamy pudding, ripe bananas, buttery Nilla Wafers, and often topped with whipped cream. I do not use whipped cream in mine, yet it is still layered with love, memory, and tradition.

It’s one of those recipes where every family seems to have their own favorite version. I would love for you to share your own personal recipe in the comments.

CAPONATA is what we made tonight.

It is a traditional Sicilian dish with uncertain origins, but it is believed to date back to at least 1709, influenced by various cultures including Greek, Arab, Spanish, and French due to Sicily's history of conquests.

It reflects a sweet and sour flavor profile typical of Sicilian cuisine and is historically associated with the island's Jewish community, showcasing the diverse culinary heritage of Sicily.

The key ingredients include eggplant, tomatoes, celery, onions, garlic, olives, and capers. This dish is celebrated for its bold flavors and versatility.

We enjoyed this atop fresh French bread slices. The idea was a new eggplant dish to personalize and enjoy. This is not a recipe that we will make again as the intense flavors of so many of the ingredients overpowered the eggplant.

Butternut squash, eggplant, tomatoes, New Mexico chili peppers, Japanese sweet potatoes, cayenne peppers, jalapeños, apples, parsley, cilantro and Sentelle sausage. It was a great day at the JBO Farmers Market.

I have not been able to go to the market in 6 weeks and I was so happy today to get to go and to find all of this incredible produce.
