This celery salad recipe is fresh and flavorful, filled with a delicious variety of textures and flavors. Chewy Medjool dates and tender chickpeas accent the celery’s crunch, and apple adds a nice sweetness to play off the celery’s savory flavor. Rich, nutty almonds and Parmesan balance the fresh ingredients, and a bright lemon dressing ties the whole thing together. I love this salad because it shows that celery can be so much more than a supporting ingredient in a soup or the base for ants on a log. This humble veggie is crisp and refreshing, with juicy stalks and leaves so fragrant […]

This corn chowder recipe is the perfect meal for a cool summer or early fall night. It’s creamy and comforting, but still packed with veggies. You’ll find tender potatoes, peppers, and—of course—summer sweet corn in this flavorful soup. I’m obviously biased, but I think this recipe makes the best corn chowder I’ve tried. The secret is using fresh corn on the cob two ways. I add the kernels to the soup for sweetness and crunch, and I also make a quick corn broth with the cobs. It fills this recipe with rich, sweet corn flavor that I balance with savory seasonings like […]

I make roasted cauliflower almost every week. It’s easy to make, healthy, and delicious. The florets come out of the oven beautifully caramelized, with crisp, golden brown edges and a rich, nutty flavor. They’re perfect for serving as a side dish, tucking into tacos, tossing into a salad, a grain bowl, or a pasta…or eating straight off the baking sheet. You’ll find my go-to roasted cauliflower recipe below, along with my best tips and tricks for cooking it perfectly every time. I’ve also shared a few of my favorite ways to season roasted cauliflower. Yes, this roasted veggie is great […]

Move over, ketchup and hot sauce—this homemade harissa recipe is one of my favorite condiments to keep on hand. Made with a blend of roasted red peppers, dried chiles, warming spices, garlic, and lemon, my version of this North African chili paste is sweet, smoky, and bright, with a subtle kick of heat. I love stirring it into shakshuka for spice, slathering it in falafel wraps, and dolloping it on roasted veggies to punch up the flavors. I started making homemade harissa years ago, back before it was widely available in grocery stores in my area. These days, it’s much […]

These easy weeknight dinners are some of my go-to recipes for busy nights. They range from pastas to soups to stir fries and sheet pan meals, but they all have a few things in common. They call for simple ingredients, they come together quickly (or are hands-off to prepare), and they’re packed with flavor. I don’t always feel like cooking at the end of a long day, but I do want a delicious dinner. If you’re looking for weeknight dinner ideas to refresh your rotation, check out the recipes below. I’ve made these meals for my family time and time again. […]

On busy mornings, I love having a stash of these oatmeal bars on hand. They’re a perfect grab-and-go breakfast, packed with hearty oats, walnuts, dried cranberries, and eggs to hold them together. They have a delicious soft-baked texture, and brown sugar and cinnamon fill them with sweet, spiced flavor. With two kiddos in the house, I rarely have time to make actual oatmeal on a weekday, but lucky for me, these oatmeal breakfast bars are even better! I adapted this oatmeal bars recipe from my baked oatmeal. When I started working on them, my goal was for them to have […]

Growing up, my mom’s eggplant Parmesan recipe was one of my favorite things to eat. My family ate dinner together every night, and my mom always cooked it from scratch. Tomato sauce never came from a jar, and cheese was never pre-shredded because convenience foods like that were simply not worth the extra expense. Dinnertime was a sound routine for all of us… unless it was summer. Then, my sister and I had more important matters at hand. We had to keep lookout for the ice cream man, hold swing set jumping contests, and run relays in our jelly shoes. […]

This corn fritters recipe is one of my favorite things to make when fresh, local corn is in season. The fritters have delicious crisp, golden brown edges and tender insides that are flecked with corn kernels for crunch. I balance the corn’s sweetness with savory scallions and cheddar cheese, which also binds the fritters together. If you ask me, these crispy, cheesy corn fritters are right up there with zucchini fritters as the best summer snack.

Let’s make mini muffins! These bite-size treats are moist, puffy, and studded with gooey, melty mini chocolate chips. The recipe calls for basic ingredients and is easy to make—easy enough that if you have mini-muffin-loving kids in your house, they can help bake! These chocolate chip mini muffins have been one of my family’s go-to snacks for over a year. I developed the recipe because, well… I had gotten in the habit of buying store-bought mini muffins for my son Ollie when he was a toddler. But last summer, we started baking together every week, and I decided it was […]
