We’re on the cusp of strawberry season, and I plan to eat as many local strawberries as I can, prepared in as many ways as I can, for as long as I can. First up: my grandmother’s classic strawberry pie, moderned-up in a salted browned butter graham cracker crust. Yeah, you’re gonna want to make this. Get the recipe!
So, you’ve got the whole grill thing figured out for your Memorial Day cookout: burgers, brats, chops, whatever. Now you need to focus on the sides.

This recipe is inspired by a dish that a colleague many years ago brought to an office potluck. Some 15 years later, it’s still one of my favorite lunchtime salads, and a great side dish for grilled chicken, too. This fantastic salad features whole-grain farro, sweet vegetables, herbs and an easy balsamic vinaigrette dressing. Get the #recipe!

I celebrated Mother’s Day by making my mom a whole bunch of homemade goodies this weekend, including a zesty lemon tart and an antipasti spread.

This recipe is an old favorite, clipped from a Williams-Sonoma catalog a bajillion years ago. We’ve made it for dinner a number of times, and then I hacked it as a salad-in-a-jar, which is perfectly lunch-able. The roast chicken and tart apple play beautifully with the spicy pecan dressing.

Ohmygoodnessohmygoodness! This pound cake, laden with toasted pecans, is just about perfect. Not too hard to make, either. Be sure to use really good, ginormous Georgia pecans here. The cake is great for breakfast or snacking, and it freezes beautifully (good thing, ’cause it makes a ton). Get the recipe!
