This salad just tastes like summer! There is no other way to describe the fresh, vibrant flavors in this simple Caprese Salad, which is arguably the best and easiest way to showcase good quality produce. I don’t recommend compromising on the quality and trying to cover up the lack of flavor with seasoning. This salad doesn’t require much, but it does super duper benefit from fresh heirloom tomatoes, basil and mozzarella.
Is there any better breakfast snack than a bacon and cheese muffin? They are my fave grab-n-go morning snack, and I also love to add some onion, chives, as well as extra egg just to round out the food groups.
This is a bit of a twist on classic chicken Parmesan….. Actually, maybe it is an entirely different dish! Whatever it was, I enjoyed it, so decided to share it with you even though it only calls for a minimal amount of cheese.
I planned to put the Chimichurri on some chicken breasts with a mix of Mozzarella and Parmesan on top (which would’ve been a similar presentation to the regular chicken Parmesan). Read on for what really went down!
Since we all like lighter meals in the summer, I am starting a summer specific series of recipes. We don’t want mac’n’cheese on repeat all summer, do we? A few days ago, I was experimenting with Halloumi on the BBQ, and wanted to share some tips with you that I discovered along the way. I did a combination of Halloumi cubes on skewers and Halloumi ‘steaks’ which are larger pieces laid flat on the grill.
These stuffed bell peppers are perfect on their own and keep well in the fridge to be reheated whenever you need them. This recipe is easy to tweak to your liking - add some cayenne if you like spice, or top with guacamole instead of hot sauce if you want to maximize healthy fats and add a cooling aspect to the dish.
Since summer is here, I feel like it is my responsibility to provide some light-ish cheese recipes! I know that this classic goat cheese, beet and arugula salad with an orange vinaigrette will satisfy your summeriest cravings.
I know cannelloni is usually just spinach and ricotta, but I love a more robust filling in pasta, so this worked out nicely! Admittedly, the filling was not the easiest to stuff into the shells, but it was worth it in the end.
The idea for this recipe started because our fridge has been delightfully scented by a huge bunch of fresh dill over the last week or so, and I was worrying that it was going to go bad before I used it up. I decided dill would go well with potatoes and cheese, and so the obvious choice was to make scalloped potatoes!
Blue cheese and pear is such a great classic combination because all of the different flavors enhance each other. Add a little peppery arugula and tangy honey balsamic dressing, and you have a single dish that packs a strong flavor punch.
I am so happy to share this recipe with you as its one of my faves, and an easy but effective dish for entertaining (in pre-covid times). This was my pick for dinner on Cinco de Mayo (along with the Jalapeño Popper recipe I posted a couple of days ago). First up, the most important trick for making outstanding enchiladas...
Ok, so it isn’t quite cinco de mayo, and cinco de mayo will definitely be a more subdued virtual celebration for us all this year, but here is a great cheesy recipe featuring double cheese!
I wanted to post this early so you have time to collect your ingredients in your once-a-week-quarantine friendly grocery run, and to give you time to book your cinco de mayo zoom virtual fiesta with all of your friends.
Although these dishes are super different, they have the same name, so I doubled down, and here are two recipes for you - Chicken Parmesan and Eggplant Parmesan.
For max efficiency, I designed both recipes so they use the same tomato sauce and coating mixture - you can thank me when you're finished cooking early and have time for a glass of vino!
