It’s officially spring!

I mean, spring is definitely in the air over here.

We get one small tastes of it and I am here for all the warm weather beverages.

There is just nothing like when the weather first warms up and drags you out of the winter gloom. Since things are ever-so-slighty looking up, there is a great reason to enjoy a cocktail (or mocktail) on the patio in the lovely spring weather. The days are longer, spring is so close we can taste it and it’s the perfect reason to make a fun drink. I’m very partial to a spritz these days or even a smash with some fresh fruit. Something very light and refreshing and simple.

There are a few of my favorite mocktails sprinkled in here, along with some of the best spring cocktails I’ve made over the years. They are so delish! Which one is calling your name?

I’ve got your perfect Easter app right here!

This spring radish butter is the dreamiest condiment you can make this season. With just two ingredients (okay, and salt and pepper), it’s ridiculously simple but tastes amazing.

If you’ve ever enjoyed dipping radishes in whipped butter? 

Well. 

Let me tell you this… you’ll be in heaven! 

And not only is this deliciously simple, it’s gorgeous. Hot pink anything = sign me up.

I never really thought I’d be posting a recipe that only consists of radishes and butter, but here we are. Because radishes and butter are pure perfection.

Easy, simple, flavorful perfection.

It’s rich and savory, spicy with a bite. Refreshing and earthy at the same time. Lovely crackers or crostini! 

If you want a showstopper app for happy hour, a dinner party or a fun afternoon out, this is perfect. It’s light but hearty. So incredibly satisfying, crunchy and savory at the same time. 

If you want an app for kids? This is not it. I mean, maybe an adventurous one. I have one, maybe one and a half of those. But this is definitely more adult friendly. Beautiful, easy, can be prepped ahead of time and definitely requires a more mature palette! 

This is how simple it is: 

You’re going to finely grate a pound or so of radishes. You can also very finely dice them, but I really like grating them. They are easier to eat and the texture is SO fabulous in the butter. The downside is that they release a bit of moisture. 

Next, use a hand mixer or soft spatula to mix some butter until it’s creamy. Here’s the thing: use the GOOD stuff. Like, high quality butter. I like to use Kerrygold because we usually have it on hand. European butter with a higher fat content is great. But whatever you love – use it. 

Mix those two together with a big pinch of salt and pepper. Mix mix mix. Just until combined. This doesn’t love to look perfectly creamy or anything. The texture of the radishes will keep that from happening. But you ideally want each smear of butter to be full of radish texture and flavor.

That’s it! (more…)

1. Peanut butter egg season gets me every time.

2. Pistachio ganache is absolutely blowing my mind.

3. The secret to getting these super neon dyed eggs? Just forget about them in the mugs with the egg dye. Like, for hours.

4. Ten things that sucked about the 90s. This had me laughing. And I could not agree more: I HATE the brown lipliner trend as well as the 90s grunge look. Ick.

5. TV things. Ugh, the Love Story finale. Gutted me! Now I want to start this weird Something Bad Is About To Happen show on netflix but I’m scared.

6. Speaking of, I finally started listening to What Remains on audiobook. I don’t know if I can handle it.

7. How to add some simplicity into doing life.

8. Have you seen the side by side pictures of Sarah Pidgeon’s dark and blonde hair side by side? Makes me want to go full blonde!

9. Last day for the amazon spring sale! You can find all my favorites here. It’s like my secret shop of things I buy, haha.

If you need a quick and easy Easter dish, I’m here for you!

This asparagus puff pastry tart is layered with pesto, parmesan, ricotta cheese and lots of lemon. The pastry is flakey and buttery, the asparagus spears are thin and tender. It’s a great appetizer or side dish for the spring holiday season. And it works the rest of the year too!

Envision this on the patio with a nice icy glass of white wine. Dreamy! 

I’ve shared many asparagus tarts over the years but this one takes the cake! It all starts with pistachio pesto – yes, I’m giving you another use for it! – and is finished with a lemony ricotta dollop that is so super delicious. 

The most common and easy asparagus tart usually includes puff pastry, asparagus and parmesan. Maybe gruyere! I love them and they come together so quickly. But I always want to spice things up a bit, and it’s easy when you can use ingredients that you have in your fridge.

If you’ve made any of my recipes this season using pistachio pesto, it will look familiar to you! This is a great dish that you can meal plan with using those other recipes – the pesto can work overtime for you!

And of course, in a pinch, you can use any pesto recipe you’d like. Pistachio pesto is my current obsession because it is so buttery and rich. But traditional basil pesto or a spicy arugula pesto would be perfect with this and add a refreshing layer for the season. Even a store-bought pesto can work if you have one that you enjoy. Make it simple and easy for yourself! 

Puff pastry is my go-to, obviously. And since we’re making a tart/pizza, I recommend getting the puff pastry that is refrigerated (not frozen) and comes in one single sheet. You can usually find it near the pie crust in your grocery store. It doesn’t have any perforations and works so nicely on a sheet pan. It looks much prettier than the frozen stuff too! 

Now let’s talk lemon ricotta: yum! 

This is simple. Take your favorite ricotta cheese. Whisk in some salt, lots of fresh lemon zest, a touch of lemon juice. It’s embarrassingly easy and super zingy with flavor. It adds such a bright burst of flavor to whatever you’re serving! 

I prefer to dollop the lemon ricotta right on top of the asparagus tart. I think the dollops are pretty and we have a local restaurant that does dollops of ricotta on pizza. It’s delish. You can also spread a thin layer of the ricotta on top of the pesto if you wish to do it that way. 

Finally, a sprinkle of parmesan to finish things off. We still need that sharp parm flavor for an extra savory, salty bite.  (more…)

With my baby girl golden retriever.

We got floafers for the kids – and Jordan is obsessed. He is wearing them with everything, including socks!!

Peeling an apple for her breakfast.

The kids are trying out track this season!

It’s our school’s first year doing it so this is all new.

Only one more year until he can do it!

Until then he just makes his own races…

Both kids love the javelin the most!

Sticktime fun.

Love it.

Being 4 is hard!!!

Getting so excited for spring.

Fish sandwich friday!

Max and Emilia are doing a speed class together and loving it.

Literally has a smile on her face all the time.

This makes me so happy.

Obsessed with them.

Emilia said this was her favorite part… hahahah!

We went to see Hoppers with our cousins!!

I also bought the rothy’s you all told me to get!

Cutest cousins!

The movie was super cute, we were in chairs that reclined and were heated. I almost fell asleep!

Last skating practice!

This might be one of her new things.

And this one is starting hockey soon!

Made a big sunday dinner of spaghetti, salad, garlic bread and this crazy garlic butter (with the trader joe’s aglio olio seasoning). Now for a new week!

Brunch is on the menu!

This french onion quiche is a delicious addition to your Easter menu, with its fluffy and rich caramelized onion filling and a flaky, super simple puff pastry crust. It’s very easy to throw together once your onions are caramelized and it tastes INCREDIBLE.

Truly, I mean you could make this for dinner tonight and everyone would be thrilled. It’s such a wonderful breakfast or brunch dish and people go crazy for it. It’s definitely one to save for a celebration – it’s very filling and makes a good amount.

But even preparing it for a family dinner one night could make the day extra special. Or a weekend brunch. 

The quiche is also fabulous when served warm or chilled right from the fridge, meaning the leftovers are top notch. Delicious, easy to grab on the go and insanely satisfying. 

I originally shared the method for this quiche in my most recent book, Easy Everyday. Learning how to make a puff pastry quiche was truly life changing for me.

Life changing! 

First – and I know this may be controversial – I don’t really love pie crust. The taste of it, I mean. It just doesn’t do much for me. And maybe that’s because I love the flaky butteriness of puff pastry so much. Traditional pie pastry can’t compete.

Second, we all know how much I hate dealing with pie crust. And yes, it surely comes from my own perfectionist tendencies because my pie crust never *looks* good, but still. It ends up looking janky and just overall is poorly executed.

Even though the crust recipe tastes great! 

And I find that quiche is even more difficult to deal with that traditional pie, like a fruit filling or chocolate pie, because the eggs expand and rise a bit and can occasionally overtake the top of the crust.

Just trust me on this: puff pastry is SO much better. 

It’s more delicious.

Easier to work with.

And feeds more people!

Woohoo. A win all around. 

Now even though I simplified the crust, I am making you caramelize some onions. And while that is super easy to do, it does take a considerable amount of time.

Sorry for replacing one with another, but at least this one is more delicious!

And worth it.  (more…)

Time to put together a fabulous menu for the holiday!

And I still have a lot of great Easter recipes coming to you in the next few weeks, but in the meantime, figured you could get the ball rolling with your menu.

The dishes at Easter are not my favorite – I’m not a huge fan of ham. So because of that, over the years I’ve come up with tons of delish plates that I DO love at Easter. Whether it’s brunch, dinner, dessert- I’ve got you covered!

P.S. While you’re at it, you can dye eggs with cool whip and they will look like tie dye unicorn eggs. Fun!

Are you an Easter brunch or dinner person? I’m kind of… both. And chocolate peanut butter eggs, always.
