Hands down my favorite Steak Tartare 👏 First time Hands down my favorite Steak Tartare 👏 First time having this dish in YEARS, and it was even better than I remembered. Have you been to @112eatery?
The juiciest grilled chicken with a summery tomato The juiciest grilled chicken with a summery tomato salad! It doesn’t get much better than this. As we enter that time of the year when garden fresh tomatoes are available nearly in excess, flag this recipe! It’s fresh, flavorful, and simple. Everything you want in a summer supper. The chicken is SO incredibly juicy and packed with flavor. Don’t skip out on the extra step I write about in this recipe! Find the recipe linked in my Summer Stories highlight ❤️☀️
Pizza night with @pocobero 🍕 Having gourmet pizza Pizza night with @pocobero 🍕 Having gourmet pizza dough tucked in the freezer is a must during the summer. It’s the perfect canvas for summer’s best produce! I love grilling my pizza but you can just as easily make it in the oven, too. This one included salami, sautéed spinach, peppers, & onions, fresh grated mozz, and kalamatas. So simple. So good. The dough got perfectly crispy on the grill. Use a cast iron pan if your grill doesn’t have a pizza stone insert! Will be rotating through toppings for the rest of the summer. What’s your favorite pizza topping combo? #pizzanight #grilledpizza #pocoberodough #summerrecipes
Meet the salad I’ll be bringing to every barbecue, Meet the salad I’ll be bringing to every barbecue, picnic, and dinner party this summer. ☀️ If you’ve never tried halloumi before, this is your sign. It’s a firm cheese that gets irresistibly golden and crispy on the outside while staying soft and chewy in the middle—and it’s absolutely made for salads like this. Tossed with chewy farro, crisp cucumber, chickpeas, fresh dill, and a bright lemon vinaigrette, every bite is fresh, hearty, and packed with flavor. Trust me…this one is worth seeking out. 🤍 Comment SALAD below and I’ll send you the recipe straight to your DMs!

Seeing a lot of pickle cocktails lately, you too? Seeing a lot of pickle cocktails lately, you too? I made this pickle spiked Tom Collins recipe 3 years ago, after a years long craving following the closure of the beloved speakeasy lounge, Marvel Bar. The Tomas Collins calls for Aquavit, but gin will do just fine. It’s savory, salty, crisp, and so refreshing. Make it! #picklecocktail #tomcollins #summerdrinks #aquavit
Sunny skies and sweltering temps: it’s fish taco s Sunny skies and sweltering temps: it’s fish taco season 😍 Crispy salmon tacos with cilantro slaw and pickled red onions! Wowowow this recipe is one of my favorite summer meals. The salmon is covered in a cumin scented panko crust and baked to perfection (an air fryer would do this beautifully!). The crunchy cilantro slaw doubles as a taco topper and side salad (I always take extra). Pickled red onions offer additional tang and that avocado crema? Brings it all together. Find this one linked in my stories and bio!❤️ #fishtacos #salmonrecipes #summerrecipes #tacos #beautifulfood
Another lovely evening with @parisdiningclub ✨ Th Another lovely evening with @parisdiningclub ✨ The ambiance, table, playlist, and dress code were all wrapped up in the dinner party guide that comes with every month’s menu. The ease that comes with these nights is just so lovely: all you do is provide the space, the setting, and the drinks. The menus require some light kitchen prep but that’s honestly half the fun! If you were considering signing up, wait until you see their summer menus! This is not an ad: my girlfriends and I are genuine clients and love the detail and care that goes into every month’s moment. Such special protected time🥰 #parisdiningclub #hosting #girlsnightin #entertainingathome

Memorial Day weekend calls for sandwiches that ste Memorial Day weekend calls for sandwiches that steal the show 🥖☀️ This loaded baguette is stacked with prosciutto, salami, peppery arugula, and the most irresistible cherry pepper goat cheese spread. Creamy, tangy, a little spicy… it absolutely makes the sandwich. 🌶️🧀 It’s the kind of recipe that feels elevated but couldn’t be easier to throw together for picnics, lake days, boat snacks, or casual summer entertaining with a bottle of wine and a bag of chips. 🍷 Save this one for summer hosting season 👏 #summerrecipes #sandwich #easyrecipes #picnicfood #memorialdayweekend
