The first time I had Spaghetti al Pomodoro was in Manarola which is located in the Cinque Terre region of Italy. It was such a simple dish, yet bursting in flavor, and easily the best pasta dish I ever had! At that moment I told myself that when I return home, I’ll recreate this pasta. That was 7 years ago. Better late than never, right? Here is Spaghetti al Pomodoro made with fresh tomatoes and garlic sauteed in lots of Extra Virgin Olive Oil....

Superfood PB Banana and Cacao Green Smoothie I love breakfast smoothies, a few of my favorites are Kale Banana Chia Hemp Superfood Smoothie, Strawberry Peanut Butter Swirl Smoothie Bowl and Skinny Green Tropical Smoothie.

Here, I combined almond milk, peanut butter, a really ripe banana with a few drops of stevia along with a handful of spinach....
If you’re looking for more tasty homemade sauces to level up your favorite Asian dishes with then try hoisin sauce, yum yum sauce, or this teriyaki sauce! What is Tamarind Sauce? Tamarind sauce has a distinct flavor that you will fall in love with! The base of this sauce uses the pulp of tamarind fruit. The flavor is quite sour before adding the rest of the sauce ingredients. The soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, and spices balance out the sour and help to complement all the flavors of the sauce....

If this is how amazing the ‘hot dogs’ are in Texas, I want to go visit. Really though, the chili style corn meal meat on these hot dogs made them fantastic! You can add a few favorite topping like jalepeños, mustard, cheddar cheese… but you have to add the Frito’s chips on top for that amazing crunch! You will never want to have boring hot dogs again after you give these a try!...
Pie is about as scrumptious as it gets for desserts. Try one of these tried and true pies that are some of the best, Strawberry, Peach, and Chocolate. Caramel Apple Pie Recipe Caramel apple pie is a twist on an all-American Pie that is absolutely incredible. The caramel takes the pie to a whole new level.

When I had my little babe back in June some neighbors brought us over meals. I was looking forward to this because we have some amazing cooks in our neighborhood. Every meal that was brought to us we absolutely loved! It is so nice to be able to relax and recover and have dinner taken care of for you. One of the meals we absolutely loved. We left to North Carolina two weeks after our baby was born and I thought about this meal all summer....
I like to give the people what they want but I also didn’t want to make two batches of muffins, so I decided to make a mashup of these two fan favorites! Hence, these Blueberry Lemon Poppyseed Muffins! And if you’re one of those people whose favorite muffin flavor is lemon poppy seed, then you should (a) make these muffins but also (b) check out my recipe for a Lemon Poppy Seed Layer Cake!...
Not to mention, they are absolutely beautiful and so darling. And the color makes me so happy. And since they have a limited season (just about a month), I figured I had to incorporate them into a springtime recipe. Because lilacs are edible, in case you didn’t know that! I have decorated cakes with lilacs before, but I have never incorporated them into an actual recipe. Until now. And I gotta say, making this Vegan Lilac Lemon Cake was the best decision I’ve made during these last two strange months....
I enjoyed my first glass of wine post-baby when I made this delicious and garlicky Vegetarian Spaghetti Puttanesca. It felt good drinking wine after so long, but I wasn’t able to finish the entire glass. Haha. I guess I’ll have to give motherhood some more time. Spaghetti Puttanesca is typically made with anchovies, however I am not a fan of anchovies and opted for a vegetarian pasta. Can I make Spaghetti Puttanesca Vegan?...
Warm Salad I love salad, but sometimes having something warm feels more satiating, which is what I love about this easy salad. You can make it even more filling by adding some grilled chicken or shrimp for extra protein. If you love this easy warm salad recipe, you should also try this BBQ Chicken Salad, Blackened Chicken Salad, or this Rosemary Chicken Salad with Avocado and Bacon. My girlfriend, who works at Da Angelo on Long Island, had been telling me about the warm salad they have as a special menu....
One of my favorite summer salad combinations is watermelon with feta, balsamic, red onion and arugula. It’s so refreshing and light, and perfect to make in jars to take to the beach or park (I keep them chilled in cooler). If you’re not familiar, making a salad in a jar is great when you want to pack a salad to go, complete with dressing. You layer the dressing first, then anything that won’t absorb the dressing and wilt (such as cheese and onions), then leave the most delicate salad greens at the top....

This whipped ricotta is one of the best dips I’ve tried in a minute, and SO good with crostini or a sliced baguette.

A couple more similar recipes to try are this whipped feta dip and Greek yogurt dip. I know you’ll love them as much as I do!...
