One-pan British breakfast
This one-pan spin on British breakfast (does that make it Brit-ish?) is perfect for a slow Sunday morning. It’s easy to make and hits all the right notes for health and satisfying.
Perfect hard boiled eggs
I think precisely 7.5 minutes is in fact the perfect hard-boiled egg.
One-pan sausage and brussels sprouts
The great thing about this dish (besides being low carb) is you can cook it on the stovetop, in the oven, or on the grill.
One-pot pasta puttanesca
You have to get the water-pasta ratio right, but besides that, you can’t mess this up. Perfect for an easy weeknight meal or when you’re feeding a crowd.
Dark chocolate avocado mousse
Literally, no one who eats this can tell it’s vegan or that it’s made with avocados unless you’re lazy and let a little green lump survive the food processor.
Leek and mushroom risotto
This risotto with leeks and shiitakes mushrooms is scrumptious. You can serve it as a side, but it stands well on it’s own as the main event. Perfect for a fancy night when you’re feeding a crowd.
Turkish breakfast
This is one of my favorite dishes created by Chef David Vogler of Darwin Cafe in San Francisco.
Berries and fresh whipped cream
I understand this is not revolutionary, but it is really yummy, simple, and healthy (as far as dessert goes) and is the perfect dessert for a hot summer night.
Chimichurri sauce
My all-time favorite sauce. Put it on everything — eggs, meats, vegetables, or shoe leather.
Halloumi eggs benedict
A vegetarian (but very satisfying) take on eggs benedict with my favorite sauce: chimichurri.
Chimichurri potato salad
I love chimichurri and am always looking for ideas to use it more. I found this recipe in my copy of Love and Lemons Everyday by Jeanine Donofrio.
Tomato, ricotta salata, and pesto salad
This is my favorite way to eat perfectly ripe heirloom tomatoes and it’s super easy, especially if you have pesto on hand.
Arugula and shaved fennel salad
This salad is so simple but so delicious. It’s perfect for a light starter before a hearty soup or pasta dish.
Lemon pistachio olive oil cake
I hate measuring things so I don’t bake often, but this cake is simple enough to make and a really yummy treat.
Homemade Sugar Scrub
This homemade sugar scrub is made with just three ingredients that you likely already have on hand.
