Summer Sides: Salt and Vinegar Roasted Potatoes with Feta and Dill

It seems almost cruel to myself to share this recipe today, considering I had one of my wisdom teeth pulled yesterday afternoon (and stayed awake during the process – absolutely do not recommend!) and therefore I am on a very soft food diet for the next few days while I wait for my stitches to […]

Summer Sweets: S’mores Croissants

It doesn’t get more Summery and simple than a s’mores recipe. Three ingredients that are perfectly delicious on their own, but mashed together and toasted for a few minutes?

Cookout Classics: Green Goddess Pasta

If I could eat ricotta cheese out of the container with a spoon without judgment, either from others or from judging myself- I absolutely would- but I find mixing it into recipes or using it as a topping on various dishes works just as good. Case in point- this creamy, flavorful, and delightfully green pasta! […]
