Tortilla Española – Spanish Omelet
Tortilla Española is a very traditional Spanish omelet with sauted onions, potato and egg. When I lived and studied in Salamanca, just like most of Spain, this was a staple on every lunch or dinner table and we often enjoyed a small slice, alongside olives and a glass of wine as tapas. While the classic […]
Cowboy Caviar
Cowboy Caviar is the salad of summer, it’s become popular on social media but here in Texas it’s a year round favorite for a reason, simple and delicious flavors and it’s healthy! I skip the cilantro and jalapeños so my kids will eat it and they devour it poolside on hot days. I prefer mine […]

Homemade Israeli Hummus
Growing up hummus wasn’t the popular dip it is today. However, my family is Israeli so we always had it around with fresh pita or to dip our falafel in (and if you’re looking for a great homemade falafel recipe, this one is easy and delicious!) The problem with family recipes is that no one […]
Fried Green Tomatoes
Fried green tomatoes are a Southern staple that you have to try this summer! The crunchy cornmeal and cool ranch dipping sauce is a new favorite in our house and I’ve been making them, in a cast iron skillet of course, every night this week.
Seared Lemon Salmon with Basil Pesto and Herbed Rice
If you have a batch of summer basil, there is no easier and more versatile dip to make than homemade basil pesto. It takes less than a minute to prepare and will liven up any summer dish. I love to spoon it over seared salmon, grilled chicken or shrimp or add it to mayonnaise to […]
