Tomato and Watermelon Salad
This simple, 5-ingredient dish works best with peak season produce, so you should probably make it soon. Here, tomatoes and watermelon are plated together with a faint sprinkle of salt and pepper. Then, they’re topped with feta and a drizzle of arugula oil, which sounds fancy, but comes together in minutes. Personally, I think this…

Tomato Basil Pasta
When I was a kid, we would go out for Italian as a family whenever we were out of town. Often, my parents would get the tomato basil pasta. (Like every time) So, in honor of tomato season, I decided to try my hand at my own version. With peak season ingredients, the sauce doesn’t…

Tomatoes and Ricotta Toast
Last week, I was watching The Chew as I made my lunch for the day. Michael Symon was roasting tomatoes and serving them over ricotta smeared toast. It looked delicious, and I was ready to make it almost as soon as I saw it. He had added a bit of basil, I believe, but I…

Strawberry Almond Muffins
Strawberry Almond Muffins taste like the best parts of spring. Slightly nutty and studded with bright berries, these little beauties took me three tries to get right. When making the first batch, I accidentally turned off the oven. The second didn’t have enough flour. Despite the mistakes, every round still tasted pretty good, but in my…

Crisp cucumber and creamy avocado play perfectly with a spicy mayo dressing. Try it this weekend. You won’t be disappointed. The…

Pizza Popcorn
Here I am, glamorously watching T.V. in my polka dot socks. This is real life, people, and those socks are comfy. But enough about them, we should talking about what’s in that bowl – pizza popcorn. Piping hot popcorn is tossed with freshly grated Parmigiano Reggiano, Italian seasoning, crushed red pepper flakes and extra virgin…
