January Journal

I combined my favorite fall vegetables to create a delicious salad that makes the perfect side dish or works great as a main dish topped with your favorite protein. 

Some things never go out of style and I consider this vintage cheese ball recipe to be one of them. We spruced it up a bit for the fall season and it's the perfect addition to an appetizer tray or charcuterie board for your next gathering.

There's no better way to start a crisp fall day than with a cup of coffee and a slice of Pumpkin Coffee Cake and the maple glaze is literally the icing on top!

This is such a nice, bright pasta dish, but also so comforting, perfect for a summertime lunch or dinner! The lemon really makes the dish pop and the ricotta makes for a light creamy sauce.

I visited Florence years ago and went into this little deli/market where I ordered this caprese style sandwich with pesto and turkey. I took it to go and had it picnic style on the streets of the city and maybe it was my surroundings, but I'm pretty sure it was the best sandwich I've ever eaten...

This blueberry crumble is quick and easy and is the perfect summer dessert. It pairs well with vanilla ice cream, so don't forget to top it off with a scoop...or two! I love the contrast of the warm blueberries with the cold ice cream and the additional texture of the crispy crumbly bites is my favorite part! Can't wait to hear what you think of this one.

These summer spritzers are a great drink to serve at your next gathering. Light and refreshing, these spritzers are the ideal summer cocktail! For each spritzer, choose your favorite dry white wine, chilled (I went with a Sauvignon Blanc) and either club soda or sparkling water, also chilled (I used Topo Chico sparkling mineral water).

We're excited to announce the launch of our new "In the Kitchen" series with our friend Jessica McCalla!
