Lemon Olive Oil Cake

This lemon olive oil cake recipe is incredibly moist and filled with bright, fruity flavor. Made with simple ingredients, it's an easy, delicious treat!

This lemon olive oil cake recipe is my new favorite spring dessert…and possibly my new favorite dessert, period. It has a moist and tender texture and fruity, citrusy flavor from lemon juice, lemon zest, and plenty of olive oil. I’ve already made this cake three times this spring—it’s that delicious! This olive oil cake recipe is easy to make with simple ingredients and equipment. I love to whip it up for an everyday treat to enjoy with coffee or tea. It’s also lovely for holidays and gatherings. I dust it with powdered sugar or pile it with whipped cream and strawberries…

Eggs Florentine

This eggs Florentine recipe consists of poached eggs, hollandaise sauce, and sautéed spinach on a toasted English muffin. It's a delicious brunch!

This classic eggs Florentine recipe is a restaurant-worthy brunch dish that you can make at home! A fresher spin on eggs Benedict, it consists of poached eggs, creamy homemade hollandaise sauce, and silky sautéed spinach on a toasted English muffin (no Canadian bacon here!). I garnish mine with a sprinkle of chives to take it over the top. While I might turn to breakfast casserole or cinnamon rolls when I’m making brunch for a crowd, this eggs Florentine recipe is a show-stopping option for a smaller group. Jack and I love it as a special Sunday morning breakfast, and it’s…

Lemon Posset

This lemon posset recipe is easy to make with 4 ingredients! Similar to a pudding, it's creamy, bright, and refreshing. A delicious make-ahead dessert!

Have you tried lemon posset? It’s a bright, creamy 4-ingredient treat I’ll be making all spring. A classic British dessert, lemon posset is similar to a custard or a pudding, but it doesn’t require eggs or cornstarch to set up. It’s easy to make with heavy cream, fresh lemon juice, sugar, and vanilla. Sweet and citrusy, it’s such a refreshing way to end a meal! This easy lemon posset recipe would be a perfect dessert for spring occasions like Easter and Mother’s Day. It’s great for entertaining because you can make it ahead, and it looks so elegant in little glasses…

Cottage Cheese Dip

This cottage cheese dip is a delicious high-protein snack! Easy to make with 6 ingredients, it's creamy and tangy. Serve with crackers or veggies!

I can already tell: this cottage cheese dip will be on repeat in our house this spring. Easy to make in the food processor with just 6 ingredients, it’s creamy and tangy—perfect for scooping up with crackers and veggies. The cottage cheese packs it with protein (this dip has 7 grams per serving!), and avocado fills it with healthy fats. Jack and I love it as a snack, but it would be a crowd-pleasing party appetizer too. Its pale green color is so festive for spring! I’ll be honest—I haven’t loved every cottage cheese recipe I’ve tried since it became…

Carrot Cake Bars

These no-bake carrot cake bars are a delicious spring dessert! A creamy, tangy frosting layer tops the warmly spiced carrot and date base.

I’ll be making these carrot cake bars all spring long! I don’t know about you, but I always crave carrot cake in the spring. The combination of warm spices, sweet carrots, and tangy cream cheese frosting just feels like the perfect dessert as the days get warmer and longer. I’m not about to make a full-blown layer cake with any regularity…but these carrot cake bars? I try to keep a stash on hand at all times. 🙂 I first published this recipe in my third cookbook, Simple Feel Good Food. I shared a video of the recipe on social media before…

Almond Flour Cookies

These almond flour cookies are easy to make in one bowl! Chewy, nutty, and filled with melty chocolate chips, they're a delicious gluten-free treat.

These almond flour cookies are chewy, nutty, and filled with melty chocolate chips. They’re totally gluten-free, but you don’t have to be to love them. In fact, these almond flour chocolate chip cookies are one of the treats I make most often. The recipe first appeared in my second cookbook, Love & Lemons Every Day, and I’ve made it countless times since the book was published. I thought it was about time I shared it here too. These cookies couldn’t be easier to make. The recipe calls for 10 ingredients and comes together in one bowl. If you have almond…

Thai Green Curry

This 30-minute Thai green curry recipe is a delicious weeknight dinner! Store-bought curry paste, fresh ginger, and lime juice fill it with bold flavor.

This Thai green curry recipe is a restaurant-worthy weeknight dinner! It’s fresh, flavorful, and bright, yet it still comes together in 30 minutes thanks to an easy pantry shortcut: store-bought green curry paste. Made with aromatic ingredients like green chilies, lemongrass, and makrut lime leaves, the curry paste is packed with bold flavor. Simmered in coconut milk with fresh ginger and lime juice, it creates a curry sauce that’s rich, fragrant, and a little bit sweet. I can’t say it’s better than my go-to Thai restaurant (sometimes, nothing but takeout will do), but it comes pretty darn close. You could use any…

Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

Brown butter fills these chocolate chip cookies with rich, caramelized flavor. With crisp edges and chewy centers, they're a bakery-worthy treat!

These brown butter chocolate chip cookies are insanely delicious. They have lightly crisp edges, perfect chewy middles, and melty chocolate in every bite. Best of all, brown butter (plus an extra dose of brown sugar) fills them with toffee-like flavor. I went through a bit of a browned butter phase last year, after I started making these blondies and couldn’t get enough them. Around that time, I tried using brown butter in my classic chocolate chip cookie recipe. We devoured every last one of those cookies, but they didn’t have the toasty, nutty brown butter flavor I was after… Many…

Lemon Ricotta Pancakes

These lemon ricotta pancakes are bright, moist, and wonderfully fluffy. Easy to make with 10 ingredients, they're a delicious breakfast or brunch!

It’s official: these lemon ricotta pancakes are my favorite weekend breakfast. They’re gloriously light and fluffy, like bouncy pancake pillows, and they have a wonderful zesty flavor. Topped with blueberry compote or a drizzle of maple syrup, they’re lightly sweet, bright, and delicious. You know you’re going to have a good day when it starts with these lemon ricotta pancakes. 🙂 Ok, if you’re thinking, “Cheese? In pancakes?!” I hear you. But you don’t actually taste the ricotta here. It acts like Greek yogurt and sour cream do in many sweet recipes, making these pancakes exceptionally moist and tender. It also…

Best Guacamole Recipe

The BEST guacamole recipe! It's easy to make with simple, fresh ingredients like ripe avocados, onion, and lime juice. Great with chips, tacos, and more!

If you don’t already have a go-to guacamole recipe, let me introduce you to mine. This guacamole recipe is easy to make. You can whip it up in 10 minutes or less! It calls for simple, fresh ingredients. Think ripe avocados, onion, cilantro, and lime. It’s DELICIOUS. This homemade guacamole is creamy, zesty, and bright. I developed the recipe after years of living in Austin, Texas. The city has incredible Tex Mex and Mexican food, and I’ve eaten a TON of great guac at local restaurants there. Eventually, it inspired me to learn how to make guacamole at home. With…

Tiramisu

This easy tiramisu recipe has delicious layers of espresso-dipped ladyfingers and creamy mascarpone. It's a show-stopping no-bake dessert!

Is there anything more delicious than tiramisu? This Italian dessert consists of decadent layers of espresso-dipped ladyfingers and plush mascarpone cream. It’s perfectly creamy and only lightly sweet, with a rich dusting of cocoa powder on top. On our first trip to Italy, I ordered it at every restaurant Jack and I went to. It’s just that good. After I shared this strawberry tiramisu last summer and this pumpkin tiramisu in the fall, I couldn’t resist developing a classic tiramisu recipe too. I’m so happy with how this one came out. It’s impressive and indulgent, but deceptively easy. This tiramisu…
