I love to make my own sourdough bread of all sorts and while this recipe may seem simple, it's one of my go-to lunches and it doesn't disappoint.  I mean, who doesn't love a tuna melt?!  I like to eat mine with sliced Granny Smith apples (very grade-school, I know), kettle chips or even kimchi for a fun, spicy companion.  This recipe makes two tuna melts.  One for you and one for whomever you want to have lunch with. it also pairs nicely with a glass of Lolati 2022 Sauvignon Blanc!

This roasted butternut squash is every bit as caramelized as you'd want it to be without all the prep work. It is cooked without being peeled and makes a crisp counterpart to the jammy inside.

This cake is reminiscent of Black Forest gâteau but with more chocolaty depth. The cake's dark chocolate flavor is enhanced by Dutch-processed cocoa powder, which produces a much deeper, Oreo-like chocolaty taste than natural unsweetened cocoa powder. A glossy, cherry-red layer of preserves keeps the crumb moist and tender. Don't forget the actual cherries on top; they'll make you happy. It is absolutely delicious, and it pairs well with Lolati 2020 Grenache.

This much-loved South African dish is a delicious mixture of curried meat and fruit with a creamy, decadent topping. Best served with rice, stewed apricots, peanuts, and coconut.

The delicata salad is a great side dish to the chicken, and it pairs beautifully with the Lolati Wines Rosé of Grenache.

A delicious one-pot meal with lots of fresh herbs and spices. The eggplant and tomatoes cook down into a nice savory jam. Don't skip on the labneh (or yogurt) as it's essential to the creaminess and overall dish. Best paired with the Lolati 2021 Kikoi Red Blend.

With asparagus in season, my garden is full of asparagus! I made this salad a few years ago and recently recreated it, and forgot how delicious it is.

When you're craving a good steak but want an extra bit of flavor, some crumbled blue cheese sprinkled on the hot steak will do just that, especially when you spike it with hot sauce and butter.
