Rice pilaf is widely available as a boxed side dish, in a variety of flavors, as well as plain, but it's so easy, that once you make it the first time, you'll reach for this recipe again and again. 

As Labor Day approaches each year, we find ourselves straddling the seasons. 

Although we're so glad to say goodbye to the heat of summer (yes, it actually does get hot up here in Maine for a few days, a week, tops!), we're not quite ready to dig out our mittens and snow boots yet.

I love a good Caesar salad. And apparently you all do as well, because my classic Caesar Salad with Homemade Garlic Croutons, which also appears in my first cookbook, is one of the most requested recipes on the website.

Toad in the Hole is a classic English baked egg dish called Yorkshire pudding with juicy sausages nestled in the eggy batter. And imagine my surprise when I learned that Yorkshire “pudding” isn’t pudding at all, but instead more like a big giant popover!

Each summer, my husband and I choose a signature cocktail to sip on our porch while we watch the geese stroll, the chickens and ducks frolic, or Cooper dig random holes in the garden.

Beurre monté is a classic French sauce that's simply butter and water.  Two ingredients, that's it.

And miraculously, the resulting sauce is silky and thick, almost the consistency of heavy cream which means it will adhere better to lobster, scallops, or grilled vegetables - my favorite ways to use it.

This deviled egg recipe went viral awhile back, and at the time, I had no idea why they were called “million dollar” deviled eggs.

A quick Google search suggested it’s because they’re just that rich. 

My mom called me the other day to tell me that she heard about a new "viral" cookie recipe. 

Now, she doesn't have a computer or a cell phone, so I'm not even sure how she stays on top of viral trends, but there you have it. 

If you're expecting a crowd for the weekend, you're going to love this quick and easy recipe that requires minimal hands-on, leaving you plenty of time to enjoy your guests. 

These deviled eggs lean heavily on Mediterranean flavors to create a nutty, sesame-forward snack. Deliciously addictive, you'll find yourself popping these protein-rich treats into your mouth one after another.

These truffles are quick and easy to make and will look beautiful in a bowl on your Easter table. Or, put some into a pretty egg carton to give as an Easter gift. 

If you’re like me and like to eat your breakfast with one hand while you’re typing away with the other or scrolling through Instagram, then these are for you!
