I often feel like some of my recipes are not worth sharing as they do not have much WOW factor. They use basic pantry staples and are not fancy, but have become regular favorites for our family. I felt we all could use a forum for gathering tried-and-true recipes from those we trust. Whatever you're having for dinner tonight, share with us...its what's for dinner.

Cherry Coulis
My wonderful husband often runs errands for me and often brings back surprises that make me smile...usually food related :) One evening he brought home 6lbs of cherries. My children suddenly decided they did not like cherries and so I had to think quick! Cherry coulis came to mind. I first thought it would be nice over vanilla ice cream, then I was faced with planning a dish to take to cultural cooking with an Italian theme and Panna Cotta came to mind! I made this cherry coulis for a lovely sweet and tart resting place for the cold, creamy panna cotta.
1 cup fresh cherries
1/4 cup water
3 tablespoons orange juice
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons sugar
Cook fresh cherries in water to cover over medium heat until they are falling off the pits; drain.
Place in a small saucepan with water; add orange and lemon juices. Heat until warmed through.
Press through a fine sieve into a bowl. Stir in sugar while still hot. Stir until dissolved.
