Another knockout NYT recipe from Melissa Clark. “With a poundcake-like texture and zippy lemon flavor, this tender treat is loaded with grated citrus zest and topped with a sweet, mellow coconut frosting.”
Cannoli Dip
Even better than a cannoli in my opinion. The lemon shines through in this dip that is less sweet than your average bakery cannoli. The anise flavor in the pizzelle is the perfect complement.
Lemon Lavender Scones
Very similar to the lemon rosemary scones I often make
Ramp Cheddar Scones
One of my favorite savory pastries to make during the spring ramp season with a pungent local cheddar cheese.
Baba Ganoush
Smooth, creamy, roasty, delicious eggplant dip perfect for any party, snack, or sando.
Squash Blossoms Stuffed with Ricotta, Peas, Shallots, and Salmon
Freshly picked and beautifully arranged, this is an easy to make delicious snack that will catch compliments with any crowd.
Ricotta
Yet another fool-proof, delicious recipe from Smitten Kitchen. Rich homemade ricotta.
Lemon Lavender Vegan Scones
Continuing with my love for lemon and lavender, these quick and easy scones went over quite well with dairy-free house guests.
Chickpea Cakes
Easy, flavorful, protein-packed dish that can be served any time of day as a meal, side dish, or snack.
Classic Chocolate Chip Cookies
Dorie Greenspan’s recipe that she’s been making for decades. As she says, “If they look like Toll House Cookies, it’s because that recipe, the mother of so many chocolate-chippers, was my starting point.”
