Basil Pesto

Homemade pesto in a glass jar with a spoon, surrounded by basil, Parmesan, lemon, and bread.

One of my favorite parts of summer is all the fresh herbs—and this is the best basil pesto recipe to make when you’ve got a big bunch of basil ready to go. It’s bright, garlicky, and cheesy, with just enough richness to cling to pasta, grilled veggies, or a slice of crusty bread. The secret? Toasting the garlic cloves with the pine nuts—it mellows the bite and adds that buttery, savory flavor. Once you make this homemade pesto, you’ll never go back to store-bought. Whether you’ve got basil from the garden or just picked up a bunch at the market, this is my go-to all summer long. I swirl...

Zucchini Chocolate Chip Muffins

Zucchini chocolate chip muffins are everywhere on the internet—but this is the recipe I’ve tested over and over until I could confidently say: these are better than any bakery muffin I’ve ever had. They rise high, stay moist for days, and have the perfect balance of cozy spice, melty chocolate, and fluffy texture without being oily or too sweet. Plus, they’re super quick and easy to make! What makes this version different? No squeezing the zucchini, no watery batter, and no flat tops. The secret is the high-heat oven start (for a big rise) and just the right combo of brown sugar and oil...

Sheet Pan Chicken Quesadillas

I love a good quesadilla, but standing over a skillet flipping them one by one while everyone else is already eating? Not exactly my idea of a good time. That’s why these Sheet Pan Chicken Quesadillas are such a game-changer. They bake all at once, slice beautifully, and the best part? I get to sit down and enjoy them with everyone else. It might just be the easiest, most crowd-pleasing appetizer I’ve ever made. These chicken quesadillas are crispy, cheesy, packed with flavor, and made to feed a crowd—no stovetop required. This isn’t your average Tuesday-night quesadilla situation. It’s...

Baked Feta with Olives and Sun-Dried Tomatoes

Baked feta appetizer topped with kalamata and green olives, sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, and herbs, served in a white baking dish with golden edges and olive oil.

If you’re looking for a warm, bold-flavored appetizer that comes together in one dish and makes everyone gather around, this is it. This baked feta with olives and sun-dried tomatoes is rich, savory, and so easy to prep. It’s everything I love in an appetizer—minimal effort, maximum flavor, and guaranteed to disappear fast. It’s also endlessly versatile. Whether you’re putting together a holiday spread, hosting wine night, or just craving something Mediterranean-inspired, this dish checks all the boxes. You simply bake a block of feta until soft and golden, then spoon it onto toasted...
