Simple Potato Gratin
Simple Potato Gratin Imagine this: A rich and creamy potato gratin recipe that’s easy to assemble and restaurant quality—it’s this Simple Potato Gratin.

Sheet Pan Green Beans with Everything Bagel Seasoning
Everyone Wants an Easy Veggie Side We’ve got you covered! Three ingredients, no chopping, delicious flavor. You could even serve this on Thanksgiving if you need a vegetable side that doesn’t contain the Turkey Day trifecta of butter, cheese and a crispy topping.

Almond, Chia and Cherry Muffins
Almond, Chia and Cherry Muffins Streusel topped cherry muffins are the summer treat you need in rotation. This was a recipe I posted on Instagram last summer and now that it’s cherry season, it’s time to fire it up again. Cherries are here and we’ve already eaten about three pounds worth at our house. Make…

Any Greens Pesto
Any Greens Pesto Yes, you can make fresh pesto in January! Maybe not the super traditional Genovese version, but you can make a bright and fresh “any greens” pesto that will be delicious with pasta, as a sauce for fish or chicken or tossed with roasted veggies. We just came back from a couple weeks…
