Completely transformed from their normal sweetness, roasted cherries are something special. Each bite has this depth from the shallots, a hint of herbal, and topped off with a little kick of spice. There are so many applications for these—try them as a topping on a salad, or last week I put them on a pizza. Delicious!

I am obsessed with these! Straight up. I will eat them in the morning, I will eat them in the afternoon, I will eat them for dinner, I will eat them when I walk by the fridge - I will make excuses to walk by the fridge JUST so I can eat these. Salty, creamy, protein-packed umami bombs!

For such a long time I was looking for ways to use up extra egg whites that I seem to always have in abundance. Once I found this base cake recipe from Stella Parks - my search ended. This is my go-to. I love topping her cake with crunchy pistachios and letting it soak up the tangy lime syrup. It is truly a delight. Airey, bright, crunchy… for sure to be a show-stopper.

Focaccia is the perfect canvas for creativity in the kitchen. Its crispy, fluffy, and salty elements lend perfectly to so many different flavors and twists. The berries here are an unexpected delight—try mopping this one up with some chili-infused oil… it is guaranteed to disappear quickly.

A little spice to balance the sweet.

I love infusing honey with different savory elements. It elevates what could be a cloying sweetness by adding body and complexity that gives your dish that “oh, that’s good” double-take.

My golly, talk about a show stopper. Of course, there are so many possibilities for this idea. Nice smokey, warm, gooey cheese topped with a flavor bomb of fruit—winning. Imagine plums roasted in balsamic or a blackberry salsa with herbs… Take this idea and run.

A little earthy to balance the sweet.

My mornings start off with a bang - and I love grabbing one of these jars first thing in the morning to get myself fueled. This is my current flavor obsession, but feel free to get creative!

Spread on a slice of bread, tossed into a salad, used as a base for your pasta sauce, my golly, this pesto is a star. Be ready to be sneaking back to the fridge for a spoonful. The combination of that earthy-sweet tomato with the spiciness of the garlic, and the brightness from the lemon… it’s a winner.
