Ricotta Meatballs So Tender You Can Eat Them With a Spoon 😋


Hey friends❣️

These authentic Italian meatballs are incredibly tender ~ traditionally served on their own in a little puddle of marinara, no pasta required. (Don’t miss my easy prep method ~ it’s a game changer.)
Perfect for settling in with a bowl and the Olympic re-runs this week.

Impossibly Soft Ricotta Meatballs

Easy Mediterranean meals for the rest of the week~

Let's start with a new discovery, French Mustard Chicken. The light golden Dijon sauce is to die for.

Channel Tuscany with my Tuscan Salmon or the reader favorite Tuscan Chicken. Both easy but hearty.

And finally Spaghetti Peperonata to end the week strong.

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!

Fromage Blanc Cheesecake

Hey friends❣️ Stop the press guys, this cheesecake just dropped and it's pretty awesome. It's lighter than regular cream cheese cheesecake, and the texture is like velvet. It's actually healthier and lower in fat than regular cheesecake, but you'd never know it (how do the French do it??) Fromage Blanc Cheesecake Other cheesecakes to try: For a classic cheesecake experience my Lemon Cheesecake is a favorite. You can decorate with berries, but citrus segments are perfect this season.

That signature aroma comes from benzaldehyde in bitter almonds… and once you fall for it, there’s no going back.
