Hi Reader! If you love mexican street corn, you're going to really love this flatbread. Crispy naan, creamy chili lime saucce, charred corn, and salty cheese. I'm not even exaggerating when I say I could eat this for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. (You'd totally catch me throwing a fried egg on top for breakfast!). Get The Recipe

Hi Reader! This whipped ricotta is what I make when I want something that looks impressive but takes almost no effort. If you need an easy appetizer that still feels a little special, this is it. Blend, spread, drizzle—done. It really couldn't be easier. It's great served with crisp crostini, but it also makes a yummy fruit or vegetable dip! Get The Recipe

Hi Reader! There are nights when I want something that doesn’t feel heavy, but I still want it to taste like an actual dinner. This cod piccata is quick and simple. The lemon and capers keep it bright, and the butter smooths everything out. And cod has the perfect mild flavor to let those big flavors shine. It's great with a simple green salad (my arugula salad is always my go-to) or a simple pasta. Get The Recipe

Hi Reader! I just love grilling season. The food is flavorful, fresh, and easy to make. And typically quite healthy! I put together a list of some of my grilling essentials that make cooking outside a lot easier - if you bought just one thing from the list, make it be the Thermapen! It's honestly one of favorite kitchen tools. If you're looking for more inspiration, make sure to check out all my grilling recipes! Thermapen This is a must-have! It's by far the best meat thermometer out there...

Hi Reader! There are some meals that just feel like summer, and this is one of them. There's something special about food on skewers, cooked outside, eaten right off the stick. And because it's a meat and a veggie, you won't be running in and out of the house to cook the side dishes. It's summer perfection. And they're so pretty! Get The Recipe
