Oh these little guys pack a punch of flavor. Get creative with these, and I think you will find they pair amazingly with just about everything.

Truly delicious. The quintessential summer garden dish featuring all the big players - eggplants, tomatoes, onions, garlic, and basil.

Sometimes, I feel like I get pulled into these recipes with a shopping list that I could almost jump rope with. Nothing against a delicious recipes with a kajillion steps thats’s worth it… but sometimes, it is so pleasant just to keep it simple. This is a warm summer nice in a bite.

When flavors are so simple, the key to nailing this is using the best ingredients possible. This is the time to bring out your highest quality olive oil, balsamic, and use the freshest tomatoes you can find.

I so enjoy this summer salad. The key here is to make the crispy potatoes — I love how the potatoes stay crunchy even after being dressed.

A fantastic dish to highlight the perfect bite-sized small fingerling potatoes and quail eggs, there is something so pleasing about the perfectly proportioned pair. With a bright gorgeous green herbal dressing, the creamy yolks, the sweetness of the potatoes, and the tossing of fresh herbs, this salad has it all.

Once basil hits the garden - this dressing is basically ever-present in my kitchen. Toss it with roast veggies, smear it on sandwiches, use it in your salads… the options are endless.

For bread dipping. For pizza drizzling. For pouring over perfectly grilled steak. For any moment you want to add a little extra pizzaz to your dish.

Bacon. Basil. Tomato. #summer

While short cold days are meant for long-simmered rich tomato sauces, summer, for me, is all about the brightness and vibrancy of barely cooked freshly picked garden goodies. This is one of my favorite summer spaghetti dishes. It could not be simpler and comes together in just over the time it takes to boil pasta.
