Pasta
My version of Puttanesca calls for Bucatini noodles and the big, bold flavors of olives, capers and garlic. 
Bucatini Pasta Puttanesca
Puttanesca is a traditional Italian pasta dish that is not for the faint of heart. The flavors are very forward and in-your-face, but not in a bad way at all.
Cookies
Homemade Neopolitan Candy Corn
These homemade Neopolitan Candy Corn are a fun and delicious variation on the classic.
October 30th is National Candy Corn Day. Yup, the most-beloved (or most hated, depending on which side you're on) Halloween candy actually has a whole day devoted to it.
Ice Cream-Custard
This decadent no-bake icebox cake features creamy vanilla pudding and whipped cream under a layer of rich chocolate ganache. 
No-Bake Chocolate Vanilla Icebox Cake
My husband occasionally sends me recipes he sees online that he thinks look good and asks me to make them. He recently sent me this recipe from The Kitchn called Chocolate Eclair Cake.
Cookies
Three different kinds of sugar and a pinch of nutmeg assure that these cookies are soft, chewy and oh, so sweet. 
My husband loves a good sugar cookie. I would say they're his favorite right after peanut butter cookies and snickerdoodles.
So when I ran across the most popular sugar cookie recipe on the Food52 site, I knew I had to try it.

Main Dishes
Monte Cristo Bread Pudding
Turn a classic Monte Cristo sandwich into a hearty savory bread pudding perfect for a crowd.
Today has been gray and drizzly. Although I generally don't like to bake in the summer, it just seemed to be the perfect day to make one of my favorite egg dishes - bread pudding.
Breads
Focaccia is one of the easiest types of bread to make and it's great for snacking, alongside your favorite pasta, or sandwiches. 
Focaccia Bread with Garlic Sage Olive Oil
Focaccia is a quick and easy yeasted bread that I make fairly often. It's a flat-ish Italian style of bread made with olive oil and honey and is often flavored with herbs.
Brunch
The Viral Egg Flight is my Jam
Deviled eggs just got easier - and trendier - when you make them into a "flight".
I was going to save this recipe for my next cookbook (coming out Summer 2026), but apparently "egg flights" have gone viral on Tiktok (naturally) this summer and are having a moment.
Main Dishes
Lobster rolls, baked stuffed lobster, even lobster mac & cheese can't compete with a basic boiled lobster with melted butter. 
This month marks our 9-year anniversary of moving to Maine. (I know... time sure does fly!!!)
And although I will never be able to call myself a true Mainer, I am a New Englander through and through.

Beverages
Fresh mint and cream of coconut make this refreshing summer sipper a cool winner. 
Coconut Cream Mint Mojito
I love making mojitos in the summer when we are overflowing with fresh mint in the garden.
Breakfast
This simple omelet is one of my favorites when I have fresh basil. 
Goat Cheese and Basil Omelet
For a long time I was kind of intimidated by the thought of making an omelet, and it seemed like every time I tried, it would just be a disaster and I would end up scrambling everything together.
(Side note: there's absolutely nothing wrong with that because it is still delicious.)
Breads
These crispy butter crackers are an addictive nibble to pair with a cocktail or a glass of chilled wine, or to add to your cheese board on a lazy summer afternoon. 
Homemade Ritz-style Butter Crackers
Soups-Salads
Homemade Caesar Salad from fridge to table in 20 minutes? Yes, please. 
Caesar Salad with Homemade Garlic Croutons
I’m not gonna lie. I'm not typically much of a salad person.
