I don’t mean to toot my own horn, but dang this is one of the best meals I’ve made in ages. So good, in fact, that I’ve eaten it multiple times this week. I can’t stop thinking about this bright, tangy, herby green sauce and want to put it on everything! I made it over the weekend to drizzle on crispy roasted potatoes and lightly breaded chicken cutlets- both simple elements to a dish that got amped up to super-star-status when I drizzled this herb sauce over the top. I served both the potatoes and chicken alongside a fresh green salad and I can attest that the sauce would do wonders as a salad dressing too, it was all I could do not to lick the plate! Scroll down for the full recipe, and make this one ASAP:

I sing my love of Little Leaf Farms from the rooftops, so I couldn’t be more excited to get my hands on the newest addition to their sustainably grown green line-up: Sweet Baby Butter Lettuce!!The new Sweet Baby Butter Leaf greens are sustainably grown in Little Leaf Farms’ state-of-the-art hydroponic greenhouse (located right here in MA!) – so it’s an ingredient I always feel great about buying. We eat so much of it, and I’m loving this new variety that has a sweet flavor and a tender yet crispy texture (the Little Leaf crisp is something I always hear readers rave about). read more

One of the things I learned quickly with my own garden was how important it was to keep pollinators happy! My friends at Little Leaf Farms are always on the forefront of creating more sustainable growing practices and I love that they worked with Best Bees to install a hive at their MA-based greenhouse to help protect and expand the dwindling bee population and keep the ecosystem surrounding the greenhouse healthy. (Be sure to check out this past post from when I got to visit the greenhouse and learn all about the Little Leaf Farms growing process and sustainability efforts!). The added bonus of course is some delicious local honey from the beehive! read more

I snuck out to the garden this morning before the day got too hot and plucked a big bowl of ripe tomatoes straight from the vine. Sweet, homegrown August tomatoes are the number one reason that I built my veggie garden – nothing tastes better! Faced with a bounty of tomatoes, I went into the archives for some inspiration and was reminded of so many of my favorite summer tomato recipes – sharing a round up of all my best summer tomato ideas below!  read more

A cheeseburger or veggie burger on the grill is a favorite way to make a super quick weeknight summer dinner! Paired with a side salad or some French fries, it’s a fast way to get dinner on the table when we’re soaking up all the last bits of summer at the beach or camp or pool. I’m excited to be partnering with BUBBA burger this summer on a tasty burger recipe series, and for a final post in the series I’m going to share my favorite topping for a grilled cheeseburger or veggie burger: my burger special sauce! read more

I have been absolutely loving our Ooni pizza oven since we got it in the early spring and have learned so much in the past several months as I experimented with different doughs and recipes and techniques. Every time I post about our tasty pizzas, I get lots of questions about how difficult it is to use and what the learning curve is like for pizza-oven-newbies. I thought I’d share a few of my best tips for making better Ooni pizzas and help troubleshoot some of the most common pizza oven questions that I get asked! (PS: If you have questions about which Ooni model and accessories are right for you, check out my Ooni review and FAQ post first! read more

One of my all-time favorite summer treats is an ice cold creamsicle pop! My friends at Fancypants Baking Comake an Orange Burst cookie that has all those citrus-y orange and sweet vanilla notes of that classic, nostalgic summer treat. Recently after taking my first bite into the Orange Burst cookie, I got a spark of inspiration for combining the cookies and the creamsicles into an over-the-top sundae that tastes like warm sunny days of my childhood! read more

I’m excited to share the launch of a new collaboration with my friends at Feather + Finn – a limited edition citronella candle collection designed for al fresco summer nights! The candles are handcrafted and poured by a local, woman-owned small business, and they’re made with nontoxic ingredients and eco-friendly 100% recycled glass vessels. They’re the kind of entertaining pieces that I use on my own summer tables, and am so excited for them to be on your patios and in your gardens this season too! We collaborated on a bright, fresh scent of orange blossom and lemongrass citronella, I love how the notes bring out the summery smells of my garden and subtly compliment the food I serve when I’m hosting friends and family. The scent was so delightful, that it inspired an Orange Blossom + Lemongrass Fizz cocktail that I created to match the candles. Shop the patio collection on the Feather + Finn website, and scroll down for the full cocktail recipe – cheers!  read more
