An Israeli Breakfast is the best way to start your day. I like to imagine I’m strolling down Dizengoff popping into a cafe then off to the beach in Tel Aviv. To recreate this at home you’ll need eggs, labneh, a cucumber and tomato salad, bread, Za’atar cheese, hummus and olives. I simplified this morning with what I had on hand.

I saw the viral feta pasta recipe go round and round TikTok and Instagram, it didn’t really peak my interest until I saw Top Chef alum, Joe Sasto recreate it with olives… pshhooooooooffff mind blown. My grocery list quickly became feta heavy and I was amped to make this baked cheese delight.

Love a double duty meal. This one pot Dutch Oven roasted chicken is a delicious and easy dinner that will turn into tomorrow’s lunch in a flash. You’ll find yourself using all of these ingredients in multiple meals/snacks throughout the week.

The base of this salad is layered veggies for crunch, creaminess, texture, and flavor. I’ve made a few variations of this salad and it’s always hearty, filling, and delicious. Added bonus it’s vegan - I’m not but the salad is 😉

This tomato soup is allium free, gluten-free, and dairy-free. It requires a few ingredients, your oven, stovetop, and an immersion blender. The most complicated part of this recipe is the need to use more than 1 kitchen appliance.

Wanting to try something new we decided to pick up some thinly sliced pork chops at the butcher. I turned to Gordon Ramsay for guidance and found his recipe for Pork Chops with Sweet and Sour Peppers and Onions. Here’s my spin on his dish with a few allergy-friendly substitutions.

This salad was essentially a delicious accident. I had fennel sautéing, eyed a can of chickpeas, and tossed them in with EVOO, lemon & Berbere Seasoning. This will make a great lunch or dinner.

I’m not a baker but really want to get a solid #glutenfree chocolate chip cookie recipe in my repertoire. I tried My Gluten-Free Kitchen's chewy chocolate chip cookie recipe and it didn’t disappoint. I’ll be making these again and again.

I’ve been working on perfecting my Spaghetti Vongole and think this version is pretty perfect. I always found this dish intimidating to make until I made it. It’s deceptively simple, full of flavor and requires you to use too many pots and pans but it’s worth it. This recipe is enough for two people, you can double it for more.

I tried a new method of cooking steak (well new to me) and reverse seared a NY Strip Steak. I used to sear the steak first, then finish it in the oven. This often resulted in me smoking out our apartment. I found with the reverse sear method my smoke alarm didn’t go off. I don’t think I’ll cook a steak any other way. It was that good.

This Bolognese (ish) sauce was born out of what we had in the fridge. The carrots and peppers make the sauce sweet and pairs really well with the ground turkey. Maple syrup may seem like a weird ingredient here but it helps balance the acidity of the tomatoes. Mangia! I hope you make this and enjoy.

We went for dinner at my friend Daniela’s house one evening and she made the most delicious roasted brussels sprouts. I immediately asked her for the recipe. Turns out these aren’t only delicious but easy to make. Here’s what you need.

Must have gluten-free pantry staples, so good you'll fool people who eat gluten! I thought going gluten-free would be a full-on nightmare and I’d cry missing pasta and french bread. Well, I do miss french bread. These gluten-free brands do an excellent job of recreating the right consistency for g-free substitutes. Trust me, I’ve tried them all.

There are so many hot sauces to choose from, how do you lock in safe varieties that won’t cause a reaction. Leave it to me! I’ve been emailing companies and taste testing hot sauces so you don’t have to. These are hands down the best garlic free and gluten-free hot sauces.

I miss and love Entenmann’s Chocolate Chip Crumb Loaf. While this recipe is lacking the crumbs (working on that) it’s taken me 4-5 bakes to finally get this recipe right. Yes, we’re using a pre-made cake mix but we’re completely ignoring the directions and changing the ingredients to make it even better!

This recipe is equal parts farm and pantry. We picked up cherry tomatoes and mozzarella from the farm and paired them with all of our favorite garlic free pantry staples. This dish is simple, filling and easy to make for a hearty vegetarian meal.

I’ve been craving sir-fry and Chinese food for weeks! One day I decided to throw all caution to the wind and try to make stir fried beef and veggies, This turned out really flavorful and tasty. Here’s what you’ll need

These are ahhhhhmazing. I’ve tried making homemade pickles with every vinegar under the sun and always come back to this recipe. It’s so delicious, tangy, and flavorful.

We love seasoned sushi rice, you only need a few ingredients to make this delicious side dish.

I’ve added a number of my favorite jaunts to The Hamptons city guide. These restaurants have always done a great job of finessing dishes sans garlic creating a delicious and memorable meal.
