What’s THE quintessential dish to make for this Easter Sunday? Deviled eggs, of course! While this was never a staple on our Easter spread while I was growing up (I guess it’s not super Ukrainian?), I’ve gotten really into to this delicious and visually gorgeous hors d’oeuvre in recent years. They’re also super easy to …
Happy first day of spring! I’m in a good mood today, not only because winter’s over, but because in my neck of the woods the sun is shining and I have the window cracked open to let some fresh air in. Ahhh, I love this time of year and look forward to the warmer temperatures …

What with what? I know, not your most conventional meal. This meal was inspired by both a friend’s cooking adventures and a trip to the farmer’s market. Let me just start by saying I don’t make fritters often enough. They’re so easy to make, and I’ve long been incorrect in assuming that fritters were best …

Watercress is one of those awesome spring greens that is super versatile and fun to throw into a bunch of different meals. Enter: this super fresh, tasty watercress pesto.
