I’ve had many iterations of watermelon and feta salad, but this one is the best I’ve had to date. The sweet and savory juxtaposed between the perfectly ripe watermelon and the salty feta is perfection. Trust me: you cannot have a summer party without serving this dish.
Read MorePaella with Chicken Thighs, Shrimp, Chorizo and Saffron
This shrimp, chorizo and chicken thigh paella is definitely a labor of love, but it is well worth it. The smokiness from the chorizo (I actually used soy chorizo - click into the recipe to read why as it's obviously an odd choice, especially for me), the fat from the chicken thighs and the light, beautiful shrimp mesh together perfectly in this dish. And the saffron, one of my all-time favorite flavors, just pushes this over the top. Spend a Sunday afternoon drinking wine or sangria while cooking this and you will be as happy as I was last weekend.
Read MoreRicotta and Tomato Pizza Frittata
On a whim, I created this vegetarian, gluten-free frittata for brunch for Easter (which also happened to be Passover weekend). Don't be fooled by the vegetarian/gluten-free thing - this is NOT healthy. I made this for my whole family and everyone agreed it was the best frittata they ever had. This is cheesy, delicious, gooey and a seriously good alternative to pizza, especially for breakfast.

When my mom made these for Super Bowl, I honestly didn't know if I was going to like them. I've never eaten a chicken wing in my entire life (and have no desire to do so - too labor intensive), and I am so over the cauliflower craze. That being said, I could not stop eating every. last. bite. The great thing about these is that you don't have to be vegetarian to love them (although any vegetarians in the room will be thrilled). You can also use gluten-free breadcrumbs and you've got the least gluten free-y, veggie dish I've ever tried. You would never know this was (sort of) healthy. Make for a party, nosh on it at home, or place it in front of you while watching TV. This is a crowd pleaser - even if the crowd is just you.
