Pure comfort in a bowl, this Fall Minestrone Soup with butternut squash, spinach, cannellini beans, thyme, parmesan and pastini is incredibly nourishing and delicious.

Celebrating this new season + website with my all-time favorite food to experiment with: PASTA. It’s finally feeling like Fall in Texas and there’s no better cozy, weeknight dinner than a skillet orzo in my opinion! This one’s already a favorite in my house. This sweet savory orzo dish with sweet butternut squash, wilted spinach, creamy ricotta and finished with crunchy, fresh basil breadcrumbs. I’m telling you, this one’s a no brainer for Fall.

My love of an everything lox bagel knows no bounds. To me, it has the perfect flavor combo: salty, garlicky, seedy, creamy, umami and pickle-y, which led my brain down a flavor rabbit hole, eventually culminating into the perfect summer pasta salad. I seriously haven't been this obsessed with a pasta salad in a long time. It's one that will have you coming back to the fridge for another bite over and over again.

There is no such thing as too much butternut squash in our house and I just discovered another way to incorporate this seasonal super-veggie into your next weekly rotation. I have to say that pasta recipes are my favorite to develop and I am pretty jazzed about how this one turned out! It's savory, sweet and excellent cold weather comfort food! BONUS: you can make it ahead!

I love a good snack opportunity and I have to say this one really hits the spot! Crispy, garlicky bread paired with creamy basil ricotta dip is a match made in heaven and SO easy to throw together, not to mention a great way to use that fresh garden basil!

When asked what I like to make and eat most, the answer is emphatically PASTA. If you need a zesty, summery pasta dish to add to your repertoire, this one is for you! This pasta paired with a white wine and lemon garlic sauce, broccolini and toasted bread crumbs makes for a perfect meatless meal or can be served alongside chicken or shrimp. It's a win-win either way!

Here's a 5 ingredient showstopper to bring to your next gathering. Juicy peaches, creamy ricotta, hot honey and basil create the most insanely delicious flavor bomb and bonus: it couldn't be easier!

If I could eat buffalo wings and ranch every day for the rest of my life, I absolutely would. The combo makes my mouth water on cue every time and so I love coming up with more balanced meal ideas with this flavor duo.
