The last thing we all need for these busy times is a recipe that’s laborious, no matter how delicious. From start to finish, this recipe took about 40 minutes and most of that time is just oven time where the gnocchi sizzles away to bubbly, golden brown, cheesy perfection.

If you’re a fan of tasty, non-boring veggies, than this recipe has your name written all over it. I’m already a huge fan of roasted, crispy brussels sprouts that practically taste like candy from natural caramelization alone. Too good!

I can’t think of a recipe to make to say “goodbye” to summer than these peach, pesto, and burrata flatbreads. We’re talking juicy peaches, savory pesto, creamy burrata, peppery arugula, a squeeze of lemon, and a drizzle of honey to make for the ultimate sweet/savory combination.

Bright, fresh and full of texture, this summer market salad features lettuce, green beans, corn, feta, crushed pita chips and a za’tar, lemon vinaigrette. Summer in a bite!

A quick sauté in a hot pan with good olive oil, salt and pepper, and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, then these babies are done and ready for snacking. I serve them up with my favorite, 3-ingredient sauce I’ve been whipping up for years. Mayo, Dijon and grated Parmesan create the perfect, creamy and tangy sauce for dipping.

These jammy and garlicky tomatoes would be good alone or spread on crusty bread, but of course we’re talking indulgence here with this recipe. Freshly chopped basil, creamy, dreamy burrata and garlicky crostini turn these perfect tomatoes into a show-stopping dish.

Perfect for entertaining and making an impressive pizza statement, these white pizzas feature a garlic and herb pizza crust, “good” olive oil, shredded mozzarella and creamy goat cheese for a pizza base that would honestly be perfect as is. But my favorite part of this pizza is the topping of a simple, lemon, olive oil and sea salt dressed arugula salad.

All combined, this melty, cheesy sandwich makes for a toasty, crunchy grilled cheese that’s reminiscent of a classic Margherita pizza. It’s simple yet elevated and sure to satisfy your grilled cheese cravings.

This salad serves as both a healthy carb and veggie-packed side dish. With sweet, grilled corn, burst cherry tomatoes, lots of fresh herbs, creamy avocado and a zesty, lime vinaigrette, this salad screams summer.

These garlic herb roasted fingerling potatoes are the perfect, classic “meat and potatoes” side dish . Pair them with some grilled asparagus or other seasonal veggies, chicken, steak, pork or even fish and it’s a well-balanced meal.

Unlike making risotto on the stovetop that requires ladling in broth, stirring and repeating for 30 minutes to an hour until the perfect risotto texture is developed, the Instant Pot does all of that labor for you. After a simple sauté of veggies and toasting of the rice, the Instant Pot works it’s magic in a matter of minutes.

Zucchini fries may sound like the ultimate oxymoron but they are also one perfect food marriage. Crispy, crunchy, fresh and zesty, they’re easy to make and made even better with a cool, creamy and tangy tzatziki yogurt sauce.

This nutty, brown, beer bread couldn’t be easier to whip up. No waiting for yeast to activate, no proofing or rising. Just mixing, baking and enjoying to your heart’s content.

Introducing my take on the classic pimento cheese that makes for the absolute perfect party appetizer, game-day watching snack or anytime snack for that matter. The best part is this spread/dip literally comes together in a matter of minutes and requires less than a handful of ingredients.

Taking hints from Auntie Anne herself and then whipping up a quick yet delicious horseradish cream cheese for dipping these buttery, fluffy morsels in, these are the absolute perfect pairing for beer drinking!

Earthy, bitter kale, fluffy and protein-packed quinoa and spicy roasted sweet potatoes get dialed up to an 11 with the addition of a zippy, creamy tahini dressing, crunchy sunflower seeds, red onion and fresh parsley. Did I mention this recipe is vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free AND dairy-free?!

My broccoli crunch naan pizzas are the perfect combination of savory, tangy, creamy and crunchy. Quick and easy to throw together, they make for one light yet hearty lunch on the fly - I just know you’ll be hooked!

This soup is easy to throw together and can be made vegan if you’re using veggie stock! Pair it with some garlic bread or even a “cheese toasty” as the Brits would day, and it’s sure to bring comfort during this season.

This easy yet impressive veggie side dish came together in less than 10 minutes. Miso and soy sauce for a double punch of umami, Sriracha for zip and lemon for brightness and tang add a bold, rich sauce to already buttery, garlicky green beans. Topped off with a sprinkle of cilantro, they are gorgeous-looking to boot!

I am in love with this spicy & smoky pasta salad because it’s just a little unexpected. We’ve got a creamy, tangy dressing thanks to my “secret” ingredient, white balsamic vinegar! The spicy part comes into play with one of my favorite ingredients of all time, Mama Lil’s Peppers. If you know, you know!
