Trust me, it’ll hit the spot.

Delicata squash has become a winter staple in my kitchen. Here I’ve roasted the squash in a mixture of olive oil, honey, garlic, and panko for added crunch. It’s served over whipped ricotta. Yes.. whipped. Trust me, you’ll never go back to plain old ricotta after this. It’s then topped with fresh parsley and pistachio gremolata and a little drizzle of honey.

Fall has arrived and for me, that means bring on all the squash recipes. There’s nothing more comforting than a warm and cheesy slice of butternut squash lasagna. Layers of mashed butternut squash (with lot’s of ricotta), a garlic sage fontina béchamel, grated mozzarella, and lasagna noodles combine for the perfect fall dinner. It’s creamy, extra cheesy, with hints of sage, cinnamon, and honey. Top it off with crispy, buttery fried sage leaves to take it over the top.

This isn’t your average Greek salad. Romaine, kale, tomatoes, feta, olives, cucumbers, pickled onions, and crispy chickpeas are tossed in a creamy Tzatziki dressing. But the game-changer: perfectly crispy and spicy fries. Fries on salad? Yes, please.

This Cucumber Gin Gimlet is simple, refreshing, and perfect for summer. And I mean… look at that color! I used Empress 1908 Gin which is a spirit from Canada that’s micro-distilled in copper-pot stills using juniper, rose, coriander seed, grapefruit peel, ginger root, cinnamon bark, butterfly pea blossoms. The pea blossoms give it that beautiful indigo hue!

This burrito bowl is one of my go-to meals when I’m feeling lazy and just want something fast. I usually have all of the ingredients on hand which is super convenient. Cauliflower, frozen corn, and onions are roasted with olive oil and spices then paired beans and a buttery cilantro and lime rice. SO easy. Not a fan of cauliflower or corn, swap with your favorite veggies. Mini sweet bell peppers work really well too!

These are seriously the best oatmeal chocolate chunk cookies - crisp on the edges and soft, chewy and gooey on the inside. Plus, they’re quick and easy to make (no chilling required).

A secret step for these cookies is to roughly chop your chocolate chunks. And yes, they must be chunks. Chopping the chocolate gives you a combination of big chunks, shavings, and a fine chocolate powder. The larger chunks will create puddles of melted chocolate while the finer shavings and powder will speckle the dough and give you the best chocolate flavor in every bite.

If a cocktail could taste like summer, it would be this Watermelon Mint Spritz. It’s so refreshing and especially perfect for warm weekend afternoons. Fresh mint is muddled with maple syrup, blended with watermelon, strained, then mixed with a touch of lime juice. It’s topped with a good amount of Prosecco but can easily be swapped for tequila or vodka.

I love this drink because you can easily make the watermelon juice ahead of time. You can even mix the Prosecco in with the juice and freeze it for later for a slushy.
