Tomato, ricotta salata, and pesto salad
This is my favorite way to eat perfectly ripe heirloom tomatoes and it’s super easy, especially if you have pesto on hand.
Arugula and shaved fennel salad
This salad is so simple but so delicious. It’s perfect for a light starter before a hearty soup or pasta dish.
Lemon pistachio olive oil cake
I hate measuring things so I don’t bake often, but this cake is simple enough to make and a really yummy treat.
Homemade Sugar Scrub
This homemade sugar scrub is made with just three ingredients that you likely already have on hand.
Zero-proof cucumber mint spritzer
Non-alcoholic (aka zero-proof) cocktails are thankfully on the rise and this one is particularly tasty, refreshing, and healthy. Perfect for staying hydrated on hot summer days.
Beet salad with citrus, goat cheese, and pistachios
This salad is perfect for spring and bursting with flavor as long as you don’t try to roast your own beets.
French-roasted chicken with tarragon cream sauce
The best one-pan chicken ever and I don’t feel cocky saying so because I learned this recipe at a Sur La Table cooking class. This dish is my go-to dish when I want to wow my guests with comfort food.
Chimichurri steak with cilantro-lime corn and glazed plantains
It doesn’t feel like summer until I’ve made fresh chimichurri with steak on the grill. The sides in this dinner, grilled corn with cilantro lime butter and brown butter plantains, are so tasty they deserve their own post.
