Artichoke-red pepper flaky pastry pies

A recent trip to a Middle Eastern grocery store in my neighborhood has had me thinking about seasonings like dill and sumac — a deep maroon-colored spice with a sparkly, citrusy flavor. I sprinkled a bit of each into this lovely mix of marinated artichoke hearts and smokey red peppers, and the combination was dynamite — made even better when folded inside flaky, golden puff pastry.

Buffalo-Parmesan popcorn

Buffalo sauce is my new favorite. (How have I waited so long to become hooked?) The sauce recipe I include here tastes very authentic. I recommend using Frank’s Red Hot, if you can find it, and not another type of hot sauce, as the flavor is distinct. If you’d like to add an extra kick to the sauce, add 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper.

Beet and beet green gratin

We harvested our beets from the garden last week and were excited to find new ways to prepare them. This gratin, with its toasty, cheesy top, was delicious.

Shaved asparagus tart with lemon ricotta

I’ve always wanted to make something with shaved asparagus because, my goodness, it’s pretty! A recent lazy, sunny Saturday afternoon was the perfect chance to get peeling. Now that I’ve figured out the recipe, I can imagine having this for brunch, serving it for a light lunch or bringing it to potlucks or picnics.

Asparagus, leek and Gruyere quiche

This was my first quiche and it turned out really quiet fantastic. It was the perfect dish for the Easter brunch we hosted (and paired quiet well with some French toast, potatoes, mimosas and bloody Marys). You know what else this quiche would be perfect for? Mother’s Day!

Lavash with oregano, cheese and sesame seeds

I love when restaurants serve soup with nice flat, crispy crackers like this lavash. It keeps you from filling up on a hunk of bread, and they offer a wonderful, salty bite in between slurps. Make this at home to really jazz up your own soup night.

Lemon-ricotta campenelle with toasted walnuts

This pasta is a great make-ahead meal for work lunches. I packed it as a lunch for a week straight: Each day I’d bring one large container of pasta and one small container of extra olive oil for drizzling. I mixed the walnuts in with the large original batch, so they softened over time, but I didn’t really mind it because they maintained lots of toasted flavor. If you prefer your walnuts to have some crunch, pack them separately.

Avocado perciatelli alfredo

This is one of those dishes that I probably never would have thought of on my own but is a total “duh!” combination. It’s creamy and rich, and your significant other will worship you if you whip it up on date night.

Mac and cheese with cauliflower, tomatoes and mustard breadcrumbs

It’s mac and cheese season! But that doesn’t mean it has to be all heavy. Swapping out some of the pasta with cauliflower helps to lighten the dish, along with folding in greens and using skim milk.

Cheesy tomato quick bread

This recipe is a wonderful way to use up a surplus of tomatoes from the garden. That’s not to say that my garden is overflowing with tomatoes. The ingredients for my bread kept arriving in paper bags on my doorstep, gifts from a thoughtful neighbor who has too many tomatoes on his hands. Also, this bread smells like pizza while it’s baking.
