Carrot Cake with White Chocolate Cream Cheese ...

Carrot cake is a quintessential dessert of spring. This recipe is moist slightly sweet, and perfectly spiced. It is paired with a rich and velvety cream cheese frosting.

Avocado and Asparagus Tartines with Basil Pesto

Asparagus is so beautiful this time of year, so I wanted to create a recipe around it. I made some basil and pumpkin seed pesto, and drizzled it on toasted bread with asparagus, avocado, and shaved Parmesan.

Pancakes with Concord Grape Syrup

Because his family is a true-to-the-bone pancake family, I really wanted him to share with me the secrets to making a good pancake, thin and delicate, perfectly browned on the outside, soft on the inside. He gave me a recipe, one that he has memorized. A set of very specific instructions, the right temp, the right amount of time for frying. I followed it to a tee, and sure enough, the pancakes came out the way I had always dreamed they would.

Oatmeal with Stewed California Prunes

Stewed prunes often have a negative connotation attached but they are sweet, plump, and tender! I am perfectly happy enjoying them on their own as an after-dinner treat, but I also really like to serve them as a topping on my morning oatmeal.

Cheesy Roasted Tomato Risotto

This bowl of creamy cheesy risotto is the ultimate indulgence. I never pass up the opportunity to eat risotto. Rice on its own is pretty good, but when you cook it in a savory broth with butter and shallots and then finish it with cheese and roasted tomatoes, I mean, come one. How incredible does that sound?

Apple and Sage Cauliflower Gnocchi

When it comes to gnocchi, I could eat it every day. I love the little soft and pillowy balls of dough. Seeing as I eat gnocchi at least once a week, I thought it would be fun to develop a healthier version using cauliflower as the base. I’m not even kidding when I say you can’t even tell that it’s made from cauliflower, which is incredible.

Do you love lasagna, but never have the time to prepare it from scratch? Let me offer you a simple solution - lasagna roll ups. They take half the time, and are super fun to make! I love these vegetable-packed lasagna roll ups. I usually make a tray and then freeze half, or I’ll make a tray and we’ll continue to eat them all week because we never tire of them.

Dark Chocolate Macarons

Macarons are small little delicate cookies that taste as though you are eating some sort of pillowy magical cloud. They are sweet and chewy, while also being light and airy. They are by far my favorite cookie. This is my favorite recipe for macarons filled with a dark chocolate ganache and drizzled with extra chocolate.
