Peanut butter & jelly just got a facelift… and it’s figgin’ amazing. This Peanut Butter & Fig Toast borrows our favorite, familiar PB&J flavors, and elevates them to make a tired old sandwich feel new and sexy.

Avocado Grapefruit Salad
Another summer day, another fruit salad. I’m a creature of habit. This Avocado Grapefruit Salad is not necessarily a summer salad, but I really crave it on hot days because it’s light and refreshing, and goes well with all the seafood in constant summer rotation. Why this salad is the best: the creamy avocado, the…
Watermelon Coconut Cream
My summer goal is to eat watermelon for every meal. And this Watermelon Coconut Cream is helping me achieve my dreams.
Spicyish Melon Salad
Summer means excessive watermelon recipes, and I’m hereee for it. And although the watermelon and chile combo may not be revelatory anymore, I’m still on the train and not getting off. There’s nothing more refreshing than a bright salad with all of our favorite summer ingredients: melons, avocados, and a few veggies and herbs, topped…
Cilantro and Onion Marinated Grilled Chicken
I live for easy marinades for quick, healthy, flavorful dinners. Of all of the marinades in my bag of tricks, this Cilantro and Onion Marinated Chicken is the current favorite and is on repeat all summer.
The Best Classic Zucchini Bread

Here it is: holy grail potato salad for all the mayo-haters out there. If the idea of potatoes covered in white goop and sitting out in the sun terrifies you as it does me, I’ve got you covered for BBQ season. I’ve talked before about my love affair with homemade pesto. It’s good on everything…
Shaved Zucchini and Grilled Corn Salad
Otherwise known as Summer on a Plate. It’s my must-serve dish for summer entertaining, because it’s flavorful, a bit unexpected, effortlessly pretty, and impossible to mess up. Essentially, it’s a no-fail side dish for any summer get together.
Cilantro Mint Pesto
My usual cooking M.O.: make something stupidly easy (like a simple grilled or roasted meat, veggie, or pasta), and top it with an even easier homemade sauce. Sure, a store bought sauce could do the trick, but there’s something about sauce from scratch that takes the simplest meal from 0 to 60. Pesto is one…
Harissa Maple Grilled Salmon
Grilled salmon is my go-to. As in, I make it once per week and rarely stray from my tried and true teriyaki chili salmon. Despite my constant search for new dinner options, I am a creature of habit when it comes to my weekly salmon. So this week I did something a little crazy. I…
