Approachable, everyday recipes
My sister-in-law, Casey makes a version of this tart and I always love it! It’s what inspired me to make this. Plus, it’s the perfect appetizer because everyone loves it, it looks super impressive, but it’s secretly super simple to make.

This is my favorite fall salad. It’s hearty, flavorful, and simple. I’ve taken it to numerous Friendsgiving’s, holiday parties, and small get togethers over the years and it’s always a crowd pleaser. It’s nice to take something fresh and green to break up the normal heavy dishes that adorn tables this time of year.
Whether your looking for a lighter dinner tonight or something to take to your next dinner party with friends, this is the perfect salad. I hope you enjoy it as I do!

This is one of my new favorite fall recipes. I knew it was a winner when I made them for dinner and then again a few days later because Rich and I couldn’t stop talking about them…
I tend to like squash recipes that are more savory, so this is right up my alley! But if you wanted to make these a little sweet you could add a dash of cinnamon or nutmeg into the squash mixture, or top them with a drizzle of honey and a few dried cranberries. You could even swap butternut squash for acorn squash. The flavor profile is extremely adaptable and up to you! As for serving, eat them on their own for lunch, as a side with soup or salad, or as a show stopping appetizer.

This is one of those magical “non-recipes, recipes.” Goat cheese tomato toast sounds so simple, but when you use fresh summer tomatoes and good bread, this is something you’ll end up dreaming about. I used heirloom tomatoes, which I think have a deeper, more complex flavor, but fresh on-the vine tomatoes would work great as well. The sweetness of the tomatoes, creaminess of the goat cheese, crunchy-ness of the toast, all topped with olive oil, sea salt, and pepper make the perfect combination.

It’s finally peach season!! Admittedly, peach season is one of my favorite things about summer. I may be going a little peach crazy over here, eating them for snacks, putting them in salads, baking with them, adding them to cocktails…

I love eggplant. I used to be intimidated to cook it, not knowing what to do with it or how to cook it. But then I figured out how to properly salt it to draw out the bitterness, and roast it. Life changing moment. I’m not going to lie, it took me years of fiddling to get there.
