Stuffed Peppadew DC-1

Haven’t jumped on the Peppadew bandwagon yet? Well it’s time to hop on board! The fabulous Amelia Saltsman introduced me to the zippy peppers a few years back, and this preparation continues to be one of my favorite summer snacks. With only two ingredients, how could it not be?!

Smoked Gouda Pasta SaladMemorial Day is just around the corner, so it’s prime time to get your summer recipes in order. Pasta salad is one of my go-to warm weather dishes, and this version with smoked gouda, roasted red peppers, artichoke hearts, and a creamy chipotle dressing might just be my (new) all-time favorite. I’m serious, y’all. It’s amazing!

Pineapple Mint Julep-2These stunning juleps are just in time for Derby this weekend, but they’re too delicious to only be enjoyed once a year.

A word to the wise: if you drink these before 11 AM, like I did, make sure you’ve also eaten enough breakfast or I can’t guarantee you’ll make it past noon. They pack quite the whammy! Let the races begin…
