  • This 5-ingredient, 30-minute homemade marinara sauce is a recipe that’s easy to turn to when cooking inspiration has all but been abandoned, and returned to again and again when comfort and ease is what’s needed most. Use it to dress up gnocchi, pasta, pizza and so much more. Of course you can pick up a jar from the store and be perfectly satisfied, but just like most things, marinara sauce made from scratch is simply the best.

  • When your fresh veggies begin the slide to the other side, don’t toss ‘em, roast ‘em! Nothing adds more natural flavor to fresh veg than heat to create that caramelized sweetness. Add to salads, pastas, casseroles, rice bowls and snack on them with reckless abandon. To cook, toss with olive oil, salt and pepper, then pop in a 425 degree oven and roast for the suggested times on foodiecrush.com when you search for roasted vegetables. Eat healthy, stay healthy friends. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

  • This year, Mother's Day brunch at home is the new going out so in the words of Cher, I got you babe. Here's the plan: Send this spinach, artichoke heart and goat cheese quiche recipe to mom and the siblings, crank up the Zoom or Facetime, then make and eat them in your own kitchens together. Or, if your mom is in 'da house, pop some champs for mimosas, and surprise her with breakfast in bed or spend the lazy day cooking together. There's no doubt it will be different, but it's still possible to enjoy a celebratory brunch none of you will ever forget as the in-it-together-team you will always be. Tap the link in my profile and search artichoke quiche for the recipe.
