It's HERE! 👉 (Your June Bucket List)


knead

Hey friends❣️

The transition from May to June feels especially abrupt. I always feel a little rushed this month, like everything good shows up at once and I’m already missing out.

So let's jump right in, tonight we'll have no-bake slab tiramisu for dessert, and tomorrow I'll start working through the rest of our list!

Your must make recipes for June

This month I stockpile quick pickles to top hot dogs, burgers, brats, and sandwiches, but also as easy sides for all my summer plates.

  1. Refrigerator pickles
  2. Quick pickled Vidalia onions

We may be jumping the gun a little, but we're going to eat our weight in corn anyway.

  1. Corn and Cucumber Salad
  2. Corn and Cheddar Cheese Chowder

Fun no-bake desserts start to become interesting again...

  1. 2-Ingredient Japanese “Cheesecake” (No-Bake Yogurt Dessert)
  2. Rhubrb Fool

Lemon Frozen Custard

Everybody loves ice cream, but only a few of you have discovered the joys of making it yourself. This is the month to take the plunge, you won't regret it!


This is the Cuisinart ice cream maker I've used for 20 years. It makes ice cream in 20 minutes, and it never breaks down, partly due to the very simple on/off button (which I appreciate!)

It's currently only $66, which I think is a steal for a machine that gives so much pleasure.


Chili Crisp Asian Burgers

And of course fire up the grill, but do it the Great Island way...

  1. Veggie Smash Burger
  2. Perfect Salmon Burgers

I love to make delicious food, photograph it, and write about it, but mostly, I just love to EAT. Isn’t that what it’s all about? My recipes are bold and vibrant, but totally approachable ~ and my philosophy? We should all have the tools to feed ourselves well, and the confidence to cut loose a little in the kitchen. Food should be fun!

See you at the table!

Asian slaw

Hey friends❣️ As the season moves forward, I’m relying more and more on interesting salads topped with some sort of protein for dinner. It ticks all my boxes: it’s relatively easy, can be prepped ahead, it’s satisfying, and I feel like I’m making up for whatever little food detours happened earlier in the day ;) Asian Slaw with Peanut Dressing get the recipe One reader says: "The peanut dressing on this Asian slaw should be bottled and sold!" She's right, it turns a healthy salad into...

Black bottom lemon bars!

Hey friends❣️ With over a hundred lemon recipes under my belt it's not often I come up with something entirely new to me, so this one is exciting. I can only recall one other recipe that pairs dark chocolate with lemon, which is strange because it's such an amazing combination of flavors. These fun little bars belong on your picnic table this summer. They're super easy to make, no special equipment needed.
