This Insalata Chicken Florentine is a Copycat from Macaroni Grill. Not sure if you are familiar with them or this incredible salad.
IT IS AMAZING.
Every ingredient is so well thought out, each delivering a unique flavor and/or texture.

This Ratatouille with Herbed Mascarpone is what dreams are made of. Tender roasted veggies with the most incredible herby mascarpone melting throughout each bite.
When the farmers markets are bursting with zucchini, summer squash and eggplant you know it’s Ratatouille season!!

This Bruschetta Panzanella Salad was born out of leftover garlic bread and bruschetta! Exactly the way classic Panzanella (Italian stale bread salad) is intended to come together.
Happy Monday!
Monday. The day I peer into my fridge and decide which leftovers from the weekend can be given a new outlook on life.
Kind of the way I give myself a new outlook on life. Mondays are my chance to reset. To start the week off right and forgive myself for veering off course by getting back to good intentions.

Steak & Potato Dinner Salad with Chimichurri Sauce here we come!!
When we unofficially declared April as Salad Month, I’m not sure my husband was 100% on board.
Don’t get me wrong he loves salad and makes amazing salads with great ingredients (one of the many reasons I love him).
He also loves a steak and potatoes.
This salad is a tribute to him. The salad loving, steak worshiping man of my dreams.

I love this Mediterranean Chopped Salad because you can make a giant bowl and eat on it for days!
Or in our case you can make it two days in a row because it’s that good!!
We’re definitely on a salad kick right now and I’m loving it.
And my body is pretty stoked too!

I wanted to make a gluten free version of Tabbouleh so included Quinoa! It’s perfect!
There’s something about Spring that makes me crave bright green flavors!
Which generally means I’m incorporating as many fresh herbs as possible.
Tomorrow I am making Falafel which I’m going to serve on a great big board with lots of tiny bowls of other levantine favorites like hummus, Jerusalem salad, baba ghanoush, marinated olives and feta, and this gorgeous Quinoa Tabbouleh.

This Spring Chopped Salad is bursting with colorful veggies, peppery baby arugula, comforting orzo pasta, and the best fresh herb vinaigrette on the planet.
Truth.
I wanted to deliver something beautiful, vibrant and healthy to a special new mom who had just done the same.
