Salad Pizza

This salad pizza is just what it sounds like: a zesty Italian salad is piled onto crispy, cheesy pizza crust. It's my favorite way to make pizza at home!

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 lemon orzo recipe is an easy, delicious one-pot dinner or side dish. This spring, it’s been one of my go-to weeknight meals. It calls for just 10 ingredients, cooks up in 20 minutes, and—best of all—is a hit with the whole family, kiddo included! I love this lemon orzo pasta because it’s bright, fresh, and creamy without any cream. The starches from the orzo and a little Parmesan perfect its comforting texture, while fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, and herbs supply its zingy flavor. I often mix in some chickpeas and sautéed asparagus to make this lemon orzo a meal on…

A fresher spin on eggs Benedict, it consists of poached eggs, creamy homemade hollandaise sauce, and silky sautéed spinach on a toasted English muffin (no Canadian bacon here!). I garnish mine with a sprinkle of chives to take it over the top. While I might turn to breakfast casserole or cinnamon rolls when I’m making brunch for a crowd, this eggs Florentine recipe is a show-stopping option for a smaller group. Jack and I love it as a special Sunday morning breakfast, and it’s…

Have you tried lemon posset? It’s a bright, creamy 4-ingredient treat I’ll be making all spring. A classic British dessert, lemon posset is similar to a custard or a pudding, but it doesn’t require eggs or cornstarch to set up. It’s easy to make with heavy cream, fresh lemon juice, sugar, and vanilla. Sweet and citrusy, it’s such a refreshing way to end a meal! This easy lemon posset recipe would be a perfect dessert for spring occasions like Easter and Mother’s Day. It’s great for entertaining because you can make it ahead, and it looks so elegant in little glasses…

I can already tell: this cottage cheese dip will be on repeat in our house this spring. Easy to make in the food processor with just 6 ingredients, it’s creamy and tangy—perfect for scooping up with crackers and veggies. The cottage cheese packs it with protein (this dip has 7 grams per serving!), and avocado fills it with healthy fats. Jack and I love it as a snack, but it would be a crowd-pleasing party appetizer too. Its pale green color is so festive for spring! I’ll be honest—I haven’t loved every cottage cheese recipe I’ve tried since it became…

These no-bake carrot cake bars are a delicious spring dessert! A creamy, tangy frosting layer tops the warmly spiced carrot and date base.

I try to keep a stash on hand at all times. 🙂 I first published this recipe in my third cookbook, Simple Feel Good Food.  I shared a video of the recipe on social media before…

These almond flour cookies are easy to make in one bowl! Chewy, nutty, and filled with melty chocolate chips, they're a delicious gluten-free treat.

These almond flour cookies are chewy, nutty, and filled with melty chocolate chips. They’re totally gluten-free, but you don’t have to be to love them. In fact, these almond flour chocolate chip cookies are one of the treats I make most often. The recipe first appeared in my second cookbook, Love & Lemons Every Day, and I’ve made it countless times since the book was published. I thought it was about time I shared it here too. These cookies couldn’t be easier to make. The recipe calls for 10 ingredients and comes together in one bowl. If you have almond…

Thai Green Curry

This 30-minute Thai green curry recipe is a delicious weeknight dinner! Store-bought curry paste, fresh ginger, and lime juice fill it with bold flavor.

This Thai green curry recipe is a restaurant-worthy weeknight dinner! It’s fresh, flavorful, and bright, yet it still comes together in 30 minutes thanks to an easy pantry shortcut: store-bought green curry paste. Made with aromatic ingredients like green chilies, lemongrass, and makrut lime leaves, the curry paste is packed with bold flavor. Simmered in coconut milk with fresh ginger and lime juice, it creates a curry sauce that’s rich, fragrant, and a little bit sweet. I can’t say it’s better than my go-to Thai restaurant (sometimes, nothing but takeout will do), but it comes pretty darn close. You could use any…

Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

Brown butter fills these chocolate chip cookies with rich, caramelized flavor. With crisp edges and chewy centers, they're a bakery-worthy treat!

These brown butter chocolate chip cookies are insanely delicious. They have lightly crisp edges, perfect chewy middles, and melty chocolate in every bite. Best of all, brown butter (plus an extra dose of brown sugar) fills them with toffee-like flavor. I went through a bit of a browned butter phase last year, after I started making these blondies and couldn’t get enough them. Around that time, I tried using brown butter in my classic chocolate chip cookie recipe. We devoured every last one of those cookies, but they didn’t have the toasty, nutty brown butter flavor I was after… Many…
