Ingredients/Variations

BASE Cream cheese and sour cream are what makes this dip so creamy! Plain Greek yogurt can be used instead of sour cream if that’s what you have.

SALMON Smoked salmon is pulsed into the dairy mixture. You will have little bits of smoked salmon in every bite. Be sure to add it at the end and just pulse once or twice.

SEASONING Green onions, capers, fresh lemon zest, and fresh dill all blend together with the cream cheese and salmon to create the perfect dip!

Roasted Summer Squash (With a Panko Breading)

Image
Roasted summer squash is oven-easy and super tasty! Rounds of squash are seasoned and topped with a crispy crumb topping. I love yellow squash in this recipe but you can use zucchini, patty pans, and even crookneck squash if they’re still popping up in your supermarket. An Easy Side Dish This recipe brings out the very best flavors with just a few ingredients and even fewer steps! Squash takes just minutes to roast and has great flavor. The simple crispy coating clings to each piece adding flavor and crunch! Ingredients or Variations SQUASH Naturally, summer squash is the star here (zucchini or pattypan work great in this recipe too). BREADING  The light breading mixture of Panko bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, and some seasonings like lemon pepper, paprika, and salt is what pulls this recipe altogether! OTHER VEGGIES Why not switch up the recipe and add some of your other favorite veggies. Ensure you use ones that have a similar cook time, we love asparagus spears and bel

Fennel Is, Without a Doubt, Our Favorite Spring Herb

Every week we get Down & Dirty, in which we break down our favorite unique seasonal fruits, vegetables, and more.   This week we’ve got fronds on the brain—fennel fronds, that is. You can find fresh fennel year round, but it really peaks during spring. Once you get your hands on fennel, you’ll probably be taken by the pleasant, anise-like aroma and then immediately think to yourself: “Okay…but what do I do with this?” Because as cool as fennel is to look at, and as lovely as it smells, it’s not the most common herb to cook with. Adding crushed fennel seeds to meatballs? Duh! But roasted fresh fennel wedges as part of a weeknight meal? Can’t say that’s exactly in my repertoire.    So if you want to start cooking with fennel, we’ll go over what to look for when selecting fennel, how to store it, and how to use every part of the plant from bulb to stalk to fronds—and more! Licorice haters fear not, there might be hope for you and fennel after all.   What to Look For First things
