Asparagus Puff Pastry Bundles
So, here is my recipe for fresh asparagus with puff pastry, a lovely side dish for any dinner party. Iโll be honest: it doesnโt look like much at first, and itโs definitely not as tantalizing as a colorful berry salad.

Chili Cheese Dipย

Easy Bruschetta Recipe
One of the reasons why I enjoy summer (besides barbecues and sunshine) is because of all the produce that is in-season. Melon and berries often get the spotlight as summer fruits, but think about all the fresh tomatoes! This fruit (we arenโt going to debate on whether tomatoes are fruits or vegetables!) is perfect for one of my favorite appetizers: bruschetta. Bruschetta โ a traditional Italian antipasto โ is essentially a tomato mixture on grilled bread slices and is great as an appetizer, snack, side dish or even on its own. They look fancy, but are so easy to make! With...

Easy Homemade Pico De Gallo
Whatโs a tangy, fresh dip that goes super well with chips? You guessed it โ salsa! No more buying bottled salsa, my friends. Today, Iโm showing you exactly how to make authentic pico de gallo. It isnโt exactly salsa, though it is just one step shy. The only difference is that salsa is a purรฉed form of the same ingredients, whereas pico de gallo (or salsa fresca) keeps its vegetables in solid form. In Mexican restaurants and fast food joints, pico de gallo is found in fish tacos and meat burritos, acting as a sweet and spicy relish. Plus, itโs the perfect dip for tortilla...
