LEMON & MASCARPONE CRÊPE CAKE πŸ‹β€‹β€‹β€‹β€‹β€‹ LEMON & MASCARPONE CRÊPE CAKE πŸ‹β€‹β€‹β€‹β€‹β€‹β€‹β€‹β€‹
.​​​​​​​​
I think all cakes are spectacular, from simple loaf cakes to elaborate layered cakes. The simple act of making a cake feels special, and serving it adds a bit of magic to the everyday βœ¨β€‹β€‹β€‹β€‹β€‹β€‹β€‹β€‹
.​​​​​​​​
Of all cakes, though, I find that crΓͺpe cakes create some of the biggest reactions. There's something with those frilly layers and oozing filling that's just irresistible! Of course, when I make a crΓͺpe cake, it has to be citrus 😍 I shared this mile-high lemon and mascarpone crΓͺpe cake in my first cookbook, #SimplyCitrus, and it has been shared many times ever since and for good reason. This dessert is guaranteed to impress your guests, but you'll love that it's a totally manageable project to carry out. You can prepare the crΓͺpes days in advance, and even freeze the assembled cake up to a week ahead of when you need it. So practical, yet so deliciously spectacular! πŸ‘ŒπŸΌβ€‹β€‹β€‹β€‹β€‹β€‹β€‹β€‹
.​​​​​​​​
The recipe for my Mile-High Lemon and Mascarpone CrΓͺpe Cake is in my cookbook, Simply Citrus. You can get a SIGNED COPY through the link in my profile! πŸ’πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ You can find my book on Amazon, too πŸ™ŒπŸΌβ€‹β€‹β€‹β€‹β€‹β€‹β€‹β€‹

SPAGHETTI AL LIMONE πŸ‹βœ¨β€‹β€‹β€‹β€‹β€‹β€‹β€‹β€‹
.​​​​​​​​
Like many of you, I'm sure, my go-to weeknight dinner solution is pasta. Pasta can be transformed into an infinite number of meals so I feel like if I've got dried pasta on hand, I can whip up dinner, no problem πŸ’ͺπŸΌβ€‹β€‹β€‹β€‹β€‹β€‹β€‹β€‹
.​​​​​​​​
I have a short list of classic recipes I make over and over again, but if I had to name my very favorite weeknight pasta dish, it would be this irresistible Creamy Lemon Spaghetti. This dish is everything everyone loves about pasta: it’s rich, creamy, zesty, and utterly satisfying to eat πŸ˜β€‹β€‹β€‹β€‹β€‹β€‹β€‹β€‹
.​​​​​​​​
The basic recipe for Spaghetti al Limone requires only five ingredientsβ€”and that includes the pasta! The creamy lemon sauce is easier to make than Cacio e Pepe, which requires a bit of practice to achieve. Creamy lemon spaghetti is literally a foolproof recipe πŸ™ŒπŸΌ Another incredibly handy thing to know is that it reheats wonderfully!​​​​​​​​
.​​​​​​​​
In other words, Spaghetti al Limone deserves a spot in your go-to weeknight recipe list. But make sure to serve it on special nights, too, because it quite simply tastes glorious!​​​​​​​​

CHUNKY CITRUS GUACAMOLE πŸ’₯​​​​​​​​
.​​​​​​​​
Guacamole is one of those dishes that many people love, but not that many people actually make at home. This has always perplexed me because it’s so easy to make: your biggest challenge when making guacamole might very well be to find perfectly ripe avocados at the store! πŸ₯‘πŸ‘€β€‹β€‹β€‹β€‹β€‹β€‹β€‹β€‹
.​​​​​​​​
I started making homemade guacamole years ago, and it was an instant hit among my friends. I’m often requested to make it, and I think the reason why my version of guacamole is so popular is the over-the-top amount of citrus fruit and juice I incorporate in it. Its chunkiness is pretty irresistible too! πŸ‘ŒπŸΌβ€‹β€‹β€‹β€‹β€‹β€‹β€‹β€‹
.​​​​​​​​
Store-bought guacamole is often really bland, so I’m not surprised that my guests would find my guacamole so interesting. My citrus guacamole is the very opposite of boring: it’s zesty and spicy, spiked with fresh coriander, and garnished with pieces of juicy citrus fruits. It’s packed with flavor and, best of all, it’s also good for you πŸ€—β€‹β€‹β€‹β€‹β€‹β€‹β€‹β€‹
.​​​​​​​​
You can serve this zesty guacamole as an appetizer, but also as part of a lunch bowl, alongside cooked whole grains or rice, your favorite protein (chicken, meatballs, shrimp, sauteed tofu), and crunchy toppings (pepitas, fried shallots, crumbled tortillas). Best desk lunch ever! πŸ₯—​​​​​​​​

FOOLPROOF EGGS BENEDICT with Blender Hollandaise S FOOLPROOF EGGS BENEDICT with Blender Hollandaise Sauce βœ¨β€‹β€‹β€‹β€‹β€‹β€‹β€‹β€‹
.​​​​​​​​
Along with crΓͺpes, croissants, and pancakes, Eggs Benedict is undoubtedly a delicious, ubiquitous breakfast classic. I’d say Eggs Benedict should be named to the breakfast hall of fame! Runny eggs, rich sauce, salty ham, and the optional veggie on toasted bread: Eggs Benedict has everything you need to wake up your taste buds and start your day on a delicious note β˜€οΈβ€‹β€‹β€‹β€‹β€‹β€‹β€‹β€‹
.​​​​​​​​
While Eggs Benedict might be the most requested breakfast dish in restaurants, it can be an intimidating dish to make at home. The culprit: hollandaise sauce. Hollandaise is considered to be one of the five β€œmother sauces” of French cuisine, and it is made with egg yolks, melted butter, and lemon juice.​​​​​​​​
.​​​​​​​​
Luckily, for those shying away from making Eggs Benedict for any or all of these reasons, my recipe for both the hollandaise sauce and the Eggs Benedict assembly process is *FOOLPROOF*. I’ll show you how to make hollandaise sauce in a blender (in seconds!), I’ll provide tips on how to reheat the sauce properly (which means you can make it in advance!), I’ll guide you through the process of making poached eggs (including alternatives if you don’t like poached eggs!), and, finally, I’ll teach you how to assemble Eggs Benedict in front of your guests without breaking a sweat πŸ’ͺπŸΌβ€‹β€‹β€‹β€‹β€‹β€‹β€‹β€‹
.​​​​​​​​
Learning from all my tips and using my foolproof recipe, you’ll finally get to make foolproof Eggs Benedict at home, all while removing stress from the equation. Be warned that it can be a dangerous habit to acquire though: homemade Eggs Benedict is so delicious that you will probably want to make it a habit to start every weekend with the dish! πŸ˜β€‹β€‹β€‹β€‹β€‹β€‹β€‹β€‹

DAIRY-FREE LEMON BARS πŸ˜˜πŸ‹β€‹β€‹β€‹β€‹β€‹β€‹β€‹β€‹
.​​​​​​​​
Lemon bars are one of my go-to desserts. I make them all year long because they’re so easy to put together and they feed a crowd in no time, but I find them especially comforting in winter. Of course, winter is citrus season, and because I live in a very snowy city, I need any and all zesty treats to get me through those long, cold months πŸ₯Άβ€‹β€‹β€‹β€‹β€‹β€‹β€‹β€‹
.​​​​​​​​
I’ve been making lemon bars for years and years, and when I first started making them, I started with some classic recipes created by Ina Garten and Martha Stewart. I loved them, but over the years, I’ve become more and more interested in making substitutions that lead to leaner, better-for-you desserts that don’t sacrifice taste and result in the exact same satisfaction you’d get from an indulgent treat πŸ‘ŒπŸΌβ€‹β€‹β€‹β€‹β€‹β€‹β€‹β€‹
.​​​​​​​​
Over time, I tweaked my lemon bar recipe, reducing the butter and sugar amounts every time. I finally ended up foregoing butter altogether to create fully dairy-free lemon bars: using a small amount of oil in the crust is enough to hold the mixture together and create the perfectly crunchy, sturdy base to hold the creamy, puckery lemon filling πŸ˜β€‹β€‹β€‹β€‹β€‹β€‹β€‹β€‹

GRAPEFRUIT FENNEL SALAD πŸŒΏβœ¨β€‹β€‹β€‹β€‹β€‹β€‹β€‹β€‹
.​​​​​​​​
This Grapefruit Fennel Salad was inspired by a classic Sicilian recipe and let me tell you: this bright bowl would wake up the drowsiest taste buds! The combination of zesty grapefruit, mellow parmesan, and crunchy fennel is simply irresistible 😍 This time of year, you can make the salad with blood oranges, which have a more acidic taste than regular oranges. I think they’re perfect in savory dishes, such as this beautiful salad!​​​​​​​​
.​​​​​​​​
I like to add greens to the salad to make it more substantial and you can play with different types, depending on whether you want to add a subtle or more assertive flavor to the dish. MΓ’che, pea shoots, and baby spinach play a mellow supporting role, whereas watercress and arugula add a peppery, slightly bitter taste that works really well with grapefruit πŸ‘ŒπŸΌβ€‹β€‹β€‹β€‹β€‹β€‹β€‹β€‹
.​​​​​​​​
Nerdy ingredient note: To make the very best version of this salad, make sure to use freshly shaved, aged Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese (as opposed to pre-grated parmesan cheese). β€œParmigiano-Reggiano” is a protected designation of origin and you can recognize the cheese by its beige-yellow stamped edge. The cheese has a distinct nutty flavor and a dry, brittle texture dotted with salty, crunchy bits. Once you taste authentic Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, you can’t go without it! It’s a bit pricey, but it keeps for a long time well-wrapped in the fridge. Plus, with such a flavorful cheese, a little goes a long way! πŸ’›β€‹β€‹β€‹β€‹β€‹β€‹β€‹β€‹
