Many of the recipes I share are heirlooms — dishes passed down through generations. But some recipes are heirlooms in the making, and these Thai Salmon Rice Bowls are one I know my kids will remember. We make Thai Salmon Rice Bowls almost weekly — not out of routine, but because everyone loves them. They’re…
There’s something about summer light on a lake that makes even the simplest meals feel special. At our camp in Maine, this Summer Sunset Caprese Salad is a staple—vibrant, unfussy, and bursting with the best flavors of the season. Our twist on the classic caprese, it’s inspired by golden hour skies and long, laid-back dinners by the…
There’s something about summer at the lake that calls for easy, flavorful meals you can make ahead and serve to a crowd—preferably with bare feet and a cold drink in hand. These Instant Pot Pulled Pork Sliders with Summer Slaw are one of our go-to dishes at our “camp” on Flying Pond in Maine. Inspired by both…
A quick, easy colorful dinner built on delicious homemade noodles. Some dinners are just in the rotation—you reach for them on busy nights, but they still feel special every time. This weeknight udon stir fry is one of those recipes for our family. The thick, chewy noodles (homemade if we have them, store-bought if we don’t) soak up…
Some recipes create a connection to generations past—and others, and others like how to make fresh udon noodles, start a new family tradition right at our own kitchen table. Unlike heirloom recipes passed down on a yellowed index card, these noodles are a newer addition. Even so, they’ve quickly become a favorite in our house—especially because they’re something…
There’s something special about family recipes passed down through generations. They carry with them memories, tradition, and a comforting familiarity. I’m excited to share a twist on one of my family’s oldest recipes—roasted salmon with a tangy, savory-sweet mustard sauce passed down through generations. Meet the Mustard Sauce : The Star of the Dish My…
The recipe for this creamy, zesty mustard has been in my family for as long as I can remember. It was served as an appetizer at every summer barbecue of my childhood to accompany cocktail hot dogs and crusty bread with summer sausage and aged cheddar. It was also frequently used as a welcome addition…
My beautiful Sicilian grandmother, Josephine, cooked simple, rustic foods that were full of flavor. Her kitchen always smelled of sautéing garlic and oil oil, and she had a gift for turning leftovers into something new and delicious. Some of her specialties were her scrumptious Sicilian Lentil Soup, “polpette” (seasoned meatballs), homemade manicotti, and if we…
We all have those go-to meals we can make with our eyes closed, knowing they’ll always turn out perfectly. For my mom, it was garlic lemon chicken strips with rice — tender, flavorful, and comforting in every bite. As a kid, I loved it for its bright, tangy sauce and satisfying simplicity. As an adult, I understand…
Snowman Stew is a savory and scrumptious Beef Bourguignon that is slow-cooked with bacon, red wine, smoked paprika and fresh thyme. It is complemented by charming and decadent bites of mashed potatoes, that are toasted on the outside, but are extra creamy on the inside – thanks to the addition of unsweetened, whipped heavy cream.…
