Summer
Grilled Steak Salad with Spicy Avocado-Buttermilk Dressing
This hearty grilled dinner salad is our new favorite way to use up an abundance of in-season produce, no matter the time of year.
Tomato and White Cheddar Tart
Puff pastry is one of our favorite store-bought shortcuts. The delicate, flaky dough can be found in your freezer aisle and makes this elegant savory tart a weeknight possibility. Serve it as a light dinner with a simple green salad on the side, or cut into smaller wedges and arrange it on a platter for an easy party bite.
Green Goddess Grand Aioli
Whether you’re looking for a show-stopping party bite or an effortless grazing dinner on a steamy summer night, this classic Provençal meal is one of our favorites.
The ULTIMATE Potato Salad
This recipe requires a little more work than your average dump and stir potato salad, but it is so worth it. The zippy mustard dressing and fresh herbs lighten up this classic picnic side while the jammy soft-boiled eggs gently coat the potatoes when tossed together.
Grilled Eggplant Parm Boats
Although available year-round, eggplant is at its peak in the summer and early fall. But when the weather is hot and the outdoors are calling, who wants to spend the time and effort breading and frying? This recipe has all the flavors of a classic eggplant parmesan, but in an easy, lightened-up, weeknight-friendly package.
Layered Picnic Salad with Yogurt Ranch Dressing
There is always a place in my heart for the old school bacon-and-iceberg lettuce layered salads of my childhood, but these days I am loving this healthier, more colorful, modern version

Campfire Bars
Whether you’re not big on sleeping in a tent or you want to carry the memory of summer bonfires into fall, these s’mores-inspired bars are the perfect dessert.
Goodtaste’s Ultimate Pimento Cheese
Mayonnaise is the magic ingredient here. It makes this cheesy spread incredibly gooey.
Spinach and Sweet Potato Stuffed Shells
If you’re like me, the pasta cravings can hit hard. However, the rich, creamy, cheese-laden fillings and sauces don’t fall into my healthy-eating plans. I have a solution: Re-think classic stuffed shells with fiber-rich vegetables – no dairy needed.
Marinated Kale Jar Salad
Looking for an easy lunch to mix up at your desk? A jar salad is our weekly go-to because you can make it in advance and everything is neatly packed up and ready to eat.
Pimento Grilled Cheese Sandwiches
This recipe marries two of my favorite guilty pleasures: grilled cheese sandwiches and a classic Southern pimento cheese spread. Mayonnaise is the magic ingredient here. It makes the cheesy filling incredibly gooey and a thin smear on the outside gives the bread a crispy, golden crust.
