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…

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…
