As you all know, if it is a sauce, a spread, or a condiment I am likely to adore it, and this Lemon Basil Aioli is no exception. Made from scratch with fresh basil growing in the pots on my deck, this is the perfect addition to any sandwich, vegetable, or french fry! And once you learn how to make this Lemon Basil aioli, there is no end to the amount of variations you can come up with.

You ALL know about my obsession with sauces. It’s no secret. My husband says I eat just so that I can have sauce, and he may be right. So let’s take a look at one of my all-time faves, a sauce that is almost always in my refrigerator!
Easy Thai Peanut Sauce.
And if I can make it in less than 10 minutes, so can you!

I’m heading in to a busy week of work, kid activities, and getting ready for the Easter holiday. In the midst of all of the chaos, I need easy recipes that are full of flavor, healthy, and can be on the table in under an hour. I’ve long been a fan of weeknight meals using roasted chicken because of it’s amazing versatility and recently developed this recipe for Roasted Chicken with Romesco that has quickly become a family favorite.

As I’ve become more comfortable in the kitchen over the years, I’ve realized that a really good sauce can take a simple meal and make it into something really spectacular. A great pesto, a simple pan sauce, or just a great vinaigrette is often the difference between just okay and wow. Recently, I’ve been enamored with Spanish Romesco. Typically made with tomatoes and almonds, our Easy Romesco Sauce takes little more than 5 minutes with a food processor and some easily accessible ingredients you probably already have in your pantry.

Signature cocktails. Eight courses. Ten friends. This is the perfect recipe for an Epic Dinner Party, which we’ve aptly named “A Moveable Feast”. The ten of us pair up to host nights filled with great food, great friends and tons of laughter. This fabulous tradition started by two of our colleagues, brings us all to the table to share our common love…food! The first time we hosted this dinner we chose a menu of comfort foods we loved (to see that menu click here). This time around we went with a Southern theme. Like this Beer Braised Brisket, served in a basket complete with a red gingham liner (just like at your favorite Southern BBQ joint!). …
I have been making salted caramel sauce for several years now. One year I even gave it as Christmas gifts for my friends and family. (I love homemade gifts-both giving and receiving!) But what everyone didn’t know is that the recipe that I had been using was unreliable. Some days the recipe would work for me…some days the recipe turned into a yellow, gritty mess. I went through a lot of ingredients and wasted a lot of time. Until I discovered this recipe for Salted Caramel Sauce by Sally’s Baking Addiction!…
Rarely have I been so excited to bring you a recipe. And sure-I know what you’re thinking-it’s a SAUCE. But trust me, if you are a sauce person like me, this is the one. This is the sauce that will change your life. This is Cilantro Lime Sauce (aka Magic Sauce!). Read on for a story about my fangirl crush on the creator of this sauce as well as the super easy recipe!

As Holly has alluded to many times in Good Food Reads, I love chimichurri. Love is probably an understatement. If I could only pick one condiment to eat for the rest of my life it would be chimichurri. I put it on everything. In fact, it is possible that I may or not have eaten it directly from the spoon. So honestly, flank steak with chimichurri is at the top of my list of foods I want to share with you. And going into a beautiful summer weekend, this is perfect for your grill!…
I was once afraid of making fish. Very, very afraid of making fish. I was even afraid of buying fish (unless at a restaurant of course)! It seemed like such a mystery! But then my daughter, who was a super picky eater, starting ordering salmon in restaurants (She was about 6, and shunned most kid foods) I cannot count the number of strange looks we got from waitstaff. As you can imagine, this got expensive fast. At about the same time I bought a cookbook (sense a recurring theme here?) that had a salmon orzo salad in it that looked amazing. This was all happening around the time that I was just learning to cook and I have to admit, I was initially at a loss. But all roads pointed to learning to cook salmon at home, so that is what I did….
