Hi Reader, What makes this Middle Eastern-inspired basmati rice pilaf special is the combination of sauteed onions with turmeric, cinnamon, and cumin. Your kitchen will smell incredible! And the mix of chickpeas and dried fruit like raisins and dates adds just the right balance of savory and sweet, with a satisfying contrast of textures.

Hi Reader, What makes this sourdough panzanella extra special is its double dose of tomato goodness. Ripe tomatoes aren’t just tossed with the bread. Their juices mix with olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, and fresh garlic to create a tangy vinaigrette. Add plenty of fresh basil, and you’ve got a salad you’ll want to make all summer long. Get the recipe for Italian Bread and Tomato Salad Love and Veggies, Amy

Hi Reader, "The potatoes were so good! Thank you for the recipe, we hosted a bbq and we all really enjoyed the flavor with the bright lemon and the mint, parsley combination." -- MaryBeth It's easy to use a grill basket instead of foil to create crispy, golden grilled potatoes with tender centers. I like to toss them in a fresh lemon herb sauce for even more flavor. If you try these grilled potatoes, I’d love to hear what you think! Leave a comment on the blog and let me know how you served...
