This post is in partnership with The Spice House. Jack isn’t usually an olive person, but every time I make these marinated olives with whipped ricotta, he can’t get enough. They’re quickly becoming one of my go-to appetizers for summer entertaining because they feel elevated, but they’re so easy to make. Citrus- and herb-marinated olives sit on a bed of creamy whipped ricotta cheese with a golden ring of olive oil pooling around it. It looks (and tastes!) like something you could get at a restaurant, but it comes together in under 30 minutes. The secret ingredient in this recipe […]

Meet my go-to red wine vinaigrette recipe! Made with basic ingredients like olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, and honey, this 5-minute salad dressing has a delicious balanced flavor. It’s tangy, savory, and a tiny bit sweet—so much better than any bottled dressing you can get at the store. I’ve been slowly perfecting this red wine vinaigrette recipe over the last few years. When I first started making it, I used too much vinegar, giving the dressing an overly-acidic punch. I gradually tempered it with more oil, honey, and mustard to create a smooth, emulsified texture and complex flavor that […]

Learn how to make whipped cream! This homemade whipped cream recipe is easy to make in minutes with just 3 ingredients: heavy cream or heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla. It’s plush, airy, delicate, and lightly sweet. Take it from me, as someone who bought the canned stuff for years and thought it was pretty great—homemade whipped cream is so much better.

It’s such a lovely finishing touch for desserts like cakes, pies, crisps, and […]

Meet my favorite Caesar wrap recipe! It combines everything I crave about a classic Caesar salad—crisp lettuce, nutty Parmesan, and a creamy, tangy dressing—in a soft tortilla for a make-ahead lunch or easy dinner.

I’ll be making this recipe for healthy lunches all spring. I love that it’s super satisfying, yet fresh, and packed with bold, briny flavor. I hope this Caesar wrap becomes one of your go-to lunches […]

Have you tried salad pizza?! It’s as simple as putting salad on pizza. The best of both worlds, it’s one of my favorite dinners to make throughout the spring and summer. Ready in 30 minutes, my recipe starts with a crisp pizza crust that’s loaded up with garlic and mozzarella cheese. When it comes out of the oven, I sprinkle on a zesty Italian salad made with arugula, radicchio, red onion, and a bold red wine vinaigrette. Nutty Parmesan, tangy pepperoncini, and red pepper flakes take it over the top. The fresh, acidic salad perfectly balances the rich crust and gooey cheese. […]

This oatmeal cookie recipe makes perfect soft and chewy oatmeal cookies! They’re warmly spiced with cinnamon and filled with rich flavor from butter, brown sugar, and vanilla.

You don’t need a mixer to make it. The dough is easy to mix up with a spatula and basic pantry ingredients whenever a cookie craving strikes.

This scalloped potatoes recipe features tender layers of potatoes baked in a creamy sauce. Onions and fresh thyme add savory depth, and melty cheddar cheese takes it over the top! When I was growing up, my family always had homemade scalloped potatoes at Easter. Cheesy and comforting, they were my favorite part of our holiday dinner. A few years back, I set out to develop my own version of this classic dish. It took lots of testing and tweaking to get just right, but I couldn’t be happier with the results. The sauce is creamy, but not overly rich, and the […]
