Summer Dessert Board
If you’ve been following a while you know I love to cook, but hate baking (way too much math and science involved and I hate measuring). So when I need to bring a dessert somewhere and still impress, here’s my solution: the dessert board! This one’s even themed for Memorial Day festivities, but there’s a million different ways you could customize it! And the best part, no baking required! I seriously bought everything at Kroger and just cut a few things up! Arrange and you’re done! Yes, even the little flowers are edible too! I can’t think of a better way to eat dessert either, getting to mix and match and try bites of all the delicious things.
Mustard Burgers with Crispy Fried Goat Cheese + Apricot Onion Jam
Grilling season is officially here! I set out to make a super simple burger, but ended up making the most extra but delicious burger ever! This burger is seasoned with a delicious mix of two different mustards and Worcestershire sauce, giving it such amazing flavor. It’s layered up with mayo, fresh arugula, a crispy fried goat cheese round, and a tangy and slightly sweet apricot onion jam. The combination of flavors and textures is just perfect.
How to Build a Cheeseboard Themed Easter Basket
Who says Easter baskets should only be for kids? I partnered with Kroger to put together the perfect adult Easter basket that anyone would love- a cheeseboard Easter basket! It contains everything you need for a beautiful and delicious cheeseboard- from the meat and cheese, to nuts and fruit, and even a board, wine, and napkins! I especially love that this basket is so perfect for gifting to anyone on your list- male or female, young or old; friends, neighbors, co-workers, moms, dads, siblings, husbands, or hostesses! The recipient can totally enjoy and snack on the basket on their own, share it with friends and family, or even use it for a ready-to-go Easter brunch appetizer! You can customize this completely based on your tastes and style but I’ve listed everything I used in mine below to get you started.

This cheeseboard is very fruit + cheese focused with a little bit of sweets thrown in as well. I’ve included all the instructions, ingredients, and assembly tips below!
Sheetpan Short Rib Nachos
Superbowl Sunday is just around the corner and one of my favorite football-watching foods has always been nachos! When it comes to nachos, the more toppings, the better! These sheetpan nachos have it all: shredded shortribs, peppers, black beans, pico and guacamole, plenty of cheese, and they’re topped with a cool + tangy lime cilantro crema. We used short ribs from Kentucky Darling Meats, a local father-daughter duo who raises antibiotic-free beef that is pasture raised and grain finished in Stanford, Kentucky. They were so kind to gift us with a meat bundle and we have been so impressed with how good all the beef has been! They have tons of beef + meat bundles available and they can ship even if you aren’t local (visit their website here for more information)! The short ribs were such a perfect topping for these nachos- they have amazing flavor but also are so fall-apart-tender that they are easy to eat as well.
Cheesy White Lasagna with Spinach + Crispy Prosciutto
Winter always puts me in the mood for cozy dinners and comfort food, and this lasagna definitely fits the bill for both. This recipe has layers of alllll the cheese but it’s also perfectly balanced by the crispy, salty prosciutto and the brightness of the spinach and fresh basil. Also apparently I’ve been living under a rock because this is my first time trying the “oven ready” lasagna noodles that you don’t even have to boil prior to baking. It makes this recipe even easier, just one more reason to make more lasagna!
