Peanut Butter Bars

If you like peanut butter cups, you'll LOVE these no-bake chocolate peanut butter bars. They're rich, decadent, and easy to make with 5 ingredients!

It’s hard to eat just one of these no-bake peanut butter bars. …Which makes sense, because they’re like an even better version of a Reese’s peanut butter cup. A crisp chocolate layer tops a rich, fudgy peanut butter base. If you’re anything like me, you’ll finish one square and then return to the pan for another sliver…and then another. Aside from the fact that they’re delicious, I’ve been loving these chocolate peanut butter bars for a few reasons this summer. They’re no-bake, so you don’t have to heat up the house in order to make them. They’re SO easy. Just 5…

Stuffed Zucchini Boats

Make these zucchini boats for an easy summer dinner! They're fresh and filling, stuffed with a delicious mixture of breadcrumbs, herbs, and cheese.

summer / vegetarian

I started making this stuffed zucchini boats recipe a few years back. It’s been a staple in our summer dinner rotation ever since! I love this recipe for several reasons. First, it’s a fantastic way to make the most of a summer stockpile of zucchini. I don’t let any of the squash go to waste here. Instead of tossing the scooped zucchini flesh, I mix it into the zesty filling. Second, it’s full of fresh summer flavor. These zucchini boats feature seasonal veggies like cherry tomatoes and fresh herbs in addition to the zucchini. Lemon zest brightens up the filling…

salads / spring

I’ve been craving this avocado salad recipe ever since I first made it. If you’re thinking, “Craving…a salad?”, well, you simply have to try this one. This avocado salad is not guacamole. But like guacamole, it keeps you coming back for more. Creamy avocado plays off juicy tomatoes, crisp cucumbers, crunchy red onion, and spicy jalapeño. A bright lime dressing brings it all together. The fresh, zesty flavors and the delicious combination of textures make it so much more than the sum of its parts. It’s been one of my go-to side dishes this summer because it’s super tasty, super quick,…

Ratatouille is a French stew made with late summer vegetables like eggplant, tomatoes, peppers, and zucchini. It’s rich with olive oil, bright with vinegar, and flecked with fresh herbs. If you haven’t tried it, put this ratatouille recipe on your list to make this summer. It’s even more delightful than the Disney movie of the same name (which is pretty delightful, if you ask me). Making this ratatouille recipe always transports me to Provence, France. A few years ago, I stayed with a local family there. On my first night with them, they served ratatouille for dinner. We sat on…

This grilled broccoli recipe is a fresh, easy summer side dish. If you’re a fan of roasted broccoli, you’ll love it. It has the same dark, crispy edges and crisp-tender texture, but its flavor is even more complex. This grilled broccoli is smoky, sweet, and savory. As the broccoli cooks, the hot grill brings out its natural sweetness. At the same time, it becomes beautifully charred, taking on a smoky taste. A sprinkle of garlic powder gives it savory depth. This grilled broccoli is broccoli at its best. I’ve tried a variety of methods for grilling broccoli (in a grill…

Corn Fritters

These easy corn fritters are the snack of the summer! They're crisp on the outside, tender in the middle, and packed with fresh sweet corn.

These corn fritters are the latest addition to my summer recipe rotation. Fresh sweet corn made its first appearance at our farmers market this week.
