This egg salad recipe is creamy, flavorful, and bright. A perfect quick lunch, it’s easy to make with simple ingredients like mayonnaise, mustard, and fresh herbs. Try it on an egg salad sandwich (my favorite), or spoon it over crackers or greens! I especially love this recipe for lunch during the spring. Lately, I’ve been making it weekly. But I haven’t always been an egg salad fan—for the longest time, I thought I didn’t like it. This recipe changed my mind. Hands down the best egg salad I’ve tried, it has plenty of texture thanks to chopped (not mashed) hard boiled eggs […]

This lemon olive oil cake recipe is my new favorite spring dessert…and possibly my new favorite dessert, period. It has a moist and tender texture and fruity, citrusy flavor from lemon juice, lemon zest, and plenty of olive oil. I’ve already made this cake three times this spring—it’s that delicious! This olive oil cake recipe is easy to make with simple ingredients and equipment. I love to whip it up for an everyday treat to enjoy with coffee or tea. It’s also lovely for holidays and gatherings. I dust it with powdered sugar or pile it with whipped cream and strawberries […]

This scalloped potatoes recipe features tender layers of potatoes baked in a creamy sauce. Onions and fresh thyme add savory depth, and melty cheddar cheese takes it over the top! When I was growing up, my family always had homemade scalloped potatoes at Easter. Cheesy and comforting, they were my favorite part of our holiday dinner. A few years back, I set out to develop my own version of this classic dish. It took lots of testing and tweaking to get just right, but I couldn’t be happier with the results. The sauce is creamy, but not overly rich, and the […]

These Easter appetizers are the perfect way to kick off an Easter brunch or dinner! They include classic appetizer ideas like deviled eggs as well as vibrant dips and light bites made with spring’s best produce. Easy to make (or make ahead), they’ll be a hit with you and your guests. I always make a few of these Easter appetizers when I host my family for the holiday. They start the meal with fresh spring flavors…and they give everyone something to snack on if our breakfast casserole or scalloped potatoes need an extra couple minutes in the oven. No stress—we’ve […]

This classic eggs Florentine recipe is a restaurant-worthy brunch dish that you can make at home! A fresher spin on eggs Benedict, it consists of poached eggs, creamy homemade hollandaise sauce, and silky sautéed spinach on a toasted English muffin (no Canadian bacon here!). I garnish mine with a sprinkle of chives to take it over the top. While I might turn to breakfast casserole or cinnamon rolls when I’m making brunch for a crowd, this eggs Florentine recipe is a show-stopping option for a smaller group. Jack and I love it as a special Sunday morning breakfast, and it’s […]

This beet hummus recipe might be the prettiest dip I’ve ever seen! Its vibrant pink color comes from—you guessed it—roasted beets. Blended with classic hummus ingredients like chickpeas, tahini, garlic, and lemon, they create a dip that’s subtly sweet, nutty, and earthy, with a wonderful creamy texture. I love keeping it on hand in the fridge for a healthy snack with pita and veggies, but it’s a show-stopping party appetizer too. I first shared this beetroot hummus back in 2016. After perfecting my basic hummus recipe a few years ago, I knew I could improve the original beet version. It […]
