The smell of fresh, summer tomatoes and basil really is wonderful.
Almost as wonderful as homemade cookies baking in the oven, which is impossible to beat. Butter and sugar always wins. Always.

Couscous with Grilled Vegetables, Chickpeas & Feta
Summer is approaching! Well, not really, but we can pretend.
Pretending is acceptable, right? As long as you don’t pretend too much.
Spicy Spinach & Artichoke Dip with Roasted Garlic
Spinach and artichokes make a really good pair. We’re talking Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt good.
Add some cheese and roasted garlic to the mix, and things get even better. Is that even possible? Why yes, yes it is.
Gourmet Mac & Cheese
Sometimes, it’s more than okay to indulge.
Sometimes, all you need is a pint of the best ice cream all to yourself. (Pro tip: use a baby spoon… it lasts longer and prevents you from shoveling all that wonderfulness into your mouth in 27 seconds. Brain freeze avoided!)
Avocado with Pesto & Red Pepper Flakes
Avocados have to be one of my favorite vegetables… er fruit? They are so fresh and creamy, and good for you too. As long as you don’t eat like five a day. That might be a bit much.
Whole Grain Scrabble
It’s always a good idea to have snacks on hand. One day, you might just find yourself stuck with a hangry friend, or stranded on the side of a lonely country road, your main concern being finding a way to fill that pit in your stomach (of course).
Vegetarian Lasagna with Spinach & Artichokes

You watch the steam gracefully escape upward off your first forkful and pray that the irresistible molten cheese won’t burn your mouth, even though you know it will.
