I love that in this Butternut Squash Pasta Sauce, the tomato base takes a backseat to the squash and pumpkin flavors in this pasta sauce inspired by a Trader Joe’s favorite of mine!
This is a fun twist on a caprese salad using cantaloupe instead of tomatoes! Cantaloupe & prosciutto is a classic combination, and I loved it with creamy burrata, a drizzle of balsamic glaze, and a sprinkle of fresh basil. It screams summertime.
Sheet pan meals are some of my favorite weeknight dinners! This baked chicken pesto sheet pan meal is super versatile, too — swap out the veggies, use your favorite kind of pesto, or just make a big batch of pesto chicken only for some meal prepped protein!
Italian seasoning is pretty straightforward, right? Why make homemade Italian seasoning? It’s usually a blend of 4-5 herbs. No fillers or sweeteners or weird ingredients. As far as seasoning blends go, it’s pretty clean. So, why bother making it? Because the regular stuff is boring. There. I said it.
As much as I love throwing a burger on the grill with some wild toppings, I sure don’t have a lot of burger recipes on my site! Note to self: create more burger recipes.
I feel like I created a unicorn here with this grilled eggplant recipe. It’s easy, quick (even quicker if you make the ricotta ahead of time), doesn’t require an oven/stove (yay, summer grilling!), and is paleo, low-carb/keto, AND vegan. The fact that it’s vegan was totally an accident. If you’ve spent more than 5 minutes …
This is one of those recipes where I’m like, “NAT. WHY DID THIS TAKE YOU SO LONG?!” Vegan queso or cashew “cheeze” sauce has been floating around the Internet for a few years, but I was always doubtful that it would be worth making. Or that it would taste good. I’m a cheese snob and …
I wasn’t a fan of vegetables as a kid unless it was in the form of baby carrots dipped in ranch dressing. Or (insert cooked vegetable) covered with Cheez Whiz. And green beans were completely off my list. Well, until I was an adult and tried fresh green beans that had been sauteed. Then, I …
Have you ever grilled melon? It intensifies and caramelizes the natural sugars and adds a little smokiness. It’s divine.
Meatloaf is one of those love/hate foods — either people really love it or they really. . . don’t. And, bless its heart, meatloaf won’t win any beauty contests. I’ve always wondered why general meatloaf opinions are so polarized — it s a comfort food, after all. Maybe there are just too many poorly made …
These balsamic roasted vegetables are roasted in a tangy balsamic marinade and topped with more balsamic glaze and a sprinkling of salty feta. It’s an easy, versatile recipe that’s great for a Thanksgiving side dish, a holiday dinner party, or during the warmer months alongside some grilled meat.
Looks can be deceiving. Pizza crust isn’t traditionally green, but just trust me on this one.
Sometimes red sauce gets old. Go green with some Creamy Spinach Pasta with avocado to make it EXTRA creamy.
Pull some of those garden tomatoes out and roast them into the best tomato sauce you’ve ever had! You can use the sauce on pasta or pizza. It even freezes well!
Pesto Eggplant Roll-Ups are a great way to use leftover pesto. And it might even convert an eggplant hater or two!
This stuffed zucchini recipe is filled with fresh herbs and Italian-seasoned ground turkey. A perfect recipe to use up some of that summer zucchini.
