Is there anything more nostalgic than a grilled cheese sandwich? I absolutely love making grilled cheese on a rainy day. This is my favorite, as it is packed with flavor.

Habanero Cheddar Focaccia
Focaccia is an Italian Flatbread. It is a yeasted dough and can include many flavor profiles, such as rosemary garlic, olive and tomato, and my take– a habanero cheddar. This recipe is made using Cabot Habanero Cheddar. I especially love the little zing of heat in this recipe. It is perfect with the sweet cherry…
The Creamiest Mac & Cheese
I’ve made a lot of macaroni and cheese. Some good, some not so good and one in particular was great-it is this recipe. It begins with the most incredible sauce and that is made with Cabot cheese. I absolutely love their Extra Sharp Cheddar Cheese for this recipe as it balances out the heavy cream….
Roasted Tomato Couscous Salad
One of my favorite flavors of summer is tomato. That’s a flavor, right? I mean they’re in their peak of freshness and availability and just taste so darn good. YUM! Needless to say, whenever I have the chance to pick up some fresh tomatoes (yes, my garden is on hold another year) I do not…
Panzanella Recipe
In the summer heat, I try to avoid turning on the oven. And when its hot we like something light and refreshing. I love this salad as it is a great way to use up some old bread. I also add summer fruit as it is refreshing and so flavorful. Panzanella is a classic Tuscan…
Hashweh Lebanese Spiced Rice

One would use this meat and rice stuffing to stuff vegetables like kusa (squash), peppers, eggplants, potatoes, grape leaves and more. I made this as our main course for a weeknight dinner, when I had little time to prep and…
Mushroom Risotto
This recipe is based off one from Emeril Lagasse. I love it because it is all made in one pan, unlike the traditional method of making risotto with warm cream or stock in a pot. The best part of this recipe is that EVERYONE in the house loves it! Yay for family meals that we…
Fasoulia with Lebanese Rice Pilaf
I recently shared this 30 minute meal on my Instagram Stories and people were SO excited. It is easy to make and packed with flavor. This dish is a stew of cannelloni beans (also made with fresh green beans or kidney beans), tomatoes, cilantro onions and garlic and is served over a Lebanese style rice…
Roasted Veggie Bowl with Tahini Dressing
We love roasted vegetables for dinner. I especially love roasted vegetables because it is an easy meal prep! These recipes can easily be doubled or tripled to last for lunches for the week. The tahini dressing is based on a Bon Apeptit. tahini ranch recipe. I listen to their FoodCast and they were talking about…
