Caprese Pasta Salad

This Caprese pasta salad recipe is perfect for summer picnics! It's super bright and fresh, filled with tomatoes, basil, and a light balsamic dressing.

This Caprese pasta salad recipe is practically summer in a bowl! As you can probably tell from its name, it’s a delicious fusion of two summer favorites: pasta salad and Italian Caprese salad. If you ask me, it’s a match made in heaven. A classic Caprese salad is bursting with fresh summer flavor, thanks to the famous combination of creamy mozzarella, juicy tomatoes, and aromatic basil. But it isn’t as packable as pasta salad, a staple at picnics and potlucks. This easy Caprese pasta salad recipe combines the best of both. You get all the fresh flavor of a Caprese…

Easy Tostadas

This easy tostada recipe is a fast, fresh dinner! I pile crispy tortillas with flavorful toppings like refried beans, avocado, veggies, and cheese.

This tostada recipe is a fun, fresh, and FAST weeknight dinner. Just load up crunchy tostadas with toppings like refried beans, crisp lettuce and cabbage, tomatoes, cheese, and avocado. Squeeze with lime juice, and dig in! This recipe has become a great family meal for us lately…because it’s not a true “recipe” at all. It’s more of a suggestion—the toppings here are flexible, and in our house, everyone chooses their own. I take my tostadas with extra avocado and spicy peppers, Jack skips the avocado and piles on extra cheese, and Ollie goes for whatever he’s in the mood for that…

Grits and Eggs

This grits and eggs recipe is delicious for breakfast or any meal! Fried eggs, fresh veggies, and dashes of hot sauce top a comforting bowl of grits.

Did you catch the guide to how to make grits I posted the other day? I’m following it up with this easy grits and eggs recipe, which might be my favorite way to eat grits. As much as I enjoy creamy grits on their own, I love them even more with flavorful fixings. In this recipe, I top the rich, creamy corn porridge with sautéed greens, bursty cherry tomatoes, avocado, and—of course—a fried egg. Hot sauce (any kind you like!) adds a little tangy, spicy pep to make the eggs and grits a delicious, comforting meal. I love this recipe…

How to Make Grits

Learn how to make grits with this easy recipe! We love this rich, creamy Southern dish topped with eggs, fresh veggies, or a simple pat of butter.

We’ve been on a grits kick in our house lately. Jack grew up in the South, so he has a serious soft spot for this rich, creamy corn porridge (especially when it’s loaded up with butter and cream). Through years of enjoying grits together, I’ve become a huge fan too. I shared a grits recipe in my second cookbook, but I only recently realized that I’d never posted one here. That changes now! Below, you’ll find our simple method for how to make grits, plus tips for cooking them and serving suggestions. I hope you enjoy! Ingredients You’ll Need Here’s…

Black Bean Tacos

Need an easy, flavorful dinner idea? Try these black bean tacos! They're topped with tangy pickled cabbage and a delicious cilantro lime sauce.

These black bean tacos are a really easy, SUPER flavorful dinner. They’re packed with a delicious combination of simple ingredients: black beans, pickled cabbage, cilantro, jalapeños, and Cotija cheese. A hefty drizzle of my cilantro lime crema takes them over the top. I love the balance of textures and flavors here. These black bean tacos are creamy AND crunchy, earthy AND bright. The component that really makes them pop is the pickled cabbage. It adds a burst of sweet, tangy flavor that, if you’re me, will keep you piling on more and more. I recommend prepping the pickled cabbage ahead.…

Easy Fried Rice

Got leftover rice? This easy fried rice recipe is the best way to use it up! I mix it with veggies and eggs in this delicious Chinese-inspired dish.

I make this easy fried rice recipe whenever I have leftover rice in the fridge. If you ask me, this Chinese inspired-dish is the best way to use it up. When the dried-out rice is cooked in a hot skillet, it takes on a delicious lightly crispy texture. Mixed with veggies, scrambled eggs, and seasonings like soy sauce and sesame oil, the humble rice becomes an incredibly flavorful side dish or quick meal. I’m sharing my basic vegetable fried rice recipe at the bottom of this post, but don’t feel like you have to follow it to the letter. One…

This easy stir fry recipe is the ultimate weeknight dinner. It’s quick, flavorful, and healthy too, packed with colorful vegetables like broccoli, carrots, and peppers. Add your favorite protein and serve it over rice for a satisfying 20-minute meal! Years ago, when I first started cooking for myself, I made a veggie stir fry nearly every night. It was the easiest (and cheapest) thing I knew how to make, so I put it on repeat. Fast forward to now, and stir fry is still a staple in my weeknight rotation…but it’s gotten a lot tastier. I’ve perfected my sweet and…

White Pizza

This white pizza recipe proves that you don't need tomato sauce to make a delicious pizza. It's topped with a flavorful garlic oil and 3 types of cheese!

I’ve been on a white pizza kick lately. Sorry, pizza sauce, but right now, this white pizza recipe has me hooked. It’s loaded with garlicky olive oil, lemony ricotta, and melty mozzarella cheese. I love to top it off with a sprinkle of arugula or fresh basil leaves. If you’ve never made white pizza at home, I hope you’ll try this recipe. It’s a fun alternative to typical red sauce pizza, and it’s SO delicious. The ricotta creates an amazing creamy contrast with the chewy crust. Serve this white pizza with a big chopped salad for a perfect pizza night!…

If you think you like store-bought gnocchi, prepare yourself: this homemade version is so much better. This simple recipe calls for 4 basic ingredients—flour, potatoes, eggs, and salt. It’s a bit of a project, so I’d save it for a weekend or date night, but it’s 100% worth the effort. These potato gnocchi are like…
