Tarragon & Lemon Lobster Rolls. They taste like vacation in a toasted bun. 🦞🍋

Here’s the move:
Bake 2 lbs lobster at 325°F for 15 mins. Let cool, then chop.
Mix ½ cup mayo with minced tarragon, chives, celery, juice of 1 lemon, salt, and pepper. Let it sit for a bit.
Toss in the lobster. Butter and toast 4 top-split buns, line with bibb lettuce, and fill them up. Alternatively, you can serve the lobster salad in lettuce cups instead of hot dog buns for a low-calorie option!

That’s it. Serve with chips and call it a perfect summer meal. Will you be trying this one this Summer?

We're bringing the good life home with a poolside Aperol spritz in hand and a snack tower that's ready to party. 🍊

This is my kind of afternoon: soaking up the sun with an Aperol spritz and a snack tower loaded with fresh bruschetta and cured meats like prosciutto, salami, and chorizo, plus all the best veggies.

Ciao to the good life, in the backyard. ☀️

She was so nice I had to post her twice. This Caprese Panini with Summer Aioli is still living rent-free in my head. 🍅✨

Crispy ciabatta, creamy mozzarella, juicy tomatoes, and that pesto mayo situation that just does not miss.

If you haven’t made it yet, what are we doing?

Don't call me the Limoncello master—call me the pepperoncini martini master. This isn't your average cocktail, but that's exactly why it works. It's got the briny bite of your favorite jarred snack, a subtle heat that builds as you sip, and just enough of a twist to keep things interesting. 🍸

Want to try this trending martini for yourself? Here's the recipe:

Ingredients (per serving):
2.5 oz of vodka
1/2 oz of dry vermouth
3/4 oz of pepperoncini brine
Olive oil, fresh cracked black pepper, and a pepperoncini to garnish

Directions:
Combine the vodka, dry vermouth, and brine with ice and shake until cold. Double strain the mixture into a martini glass. To garnish, add a few drops of olive oil, a twist of fresh cracked black pepper, and a single pepperoncini.

Cheers! 🍸

The Pineapple Paloma is giving tropical twist on a classic. 🍍🍸 Bright, citrusy, and so easy to make, it’s your new go-to for summer sipping.

In a shaker with ice, combine 2 oz tequila, 1 oz pineapple juice, 1 oz grapefruit juice, juice of half a lime, and a splash of agave. Shake it up, strain over crushed ice, then top with grapefruit Spindrift and a slice of lime or pineapple.

It’s crisp, refreshing, and looks just as good as it tastes. I used Casamigos tequila and a mix of fresh grapefruit juice with sparkling water for extra zing. Will you be trying it?

I've found my new secret weapon for weeknight dinners—the incredible new sauces from @HarrysFamousSauce! ✨ I'm all about feeling good about what I eat, and their commitment to transparency is amazing. You can literally see their full ingredients, cooking methods, and recipes right on their site!

I'm so excited to introduce their two new flavors: Lemon Pepper Dill and Marinara No 7. The Marinara No 7 is a game-changer with 7 veggies and 20% of your daily servings of veggies in each portion—plus it tastes incredible! It's also got less sodium than some other popular brands. Both are non-GMO and gluten-free, with the Lemon Pepper Dill being Upcycle certified to help reduce food waste.

In this Reel, I'm showing you a quick peek at how I'm using these in my kitchen. You'll definitely want to try them for yourself!

This grilled asparagus is your summer sidekick, smoky, citrusy, and dressed to impress. 🍋🔥

Here’s the move:
Toss fresh asparagus with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Grill alongside lemon slices for 3–4 minutes per side until you get those dreamy char marks.

Then comes the magic...squeeze the grilled lemon over top and finish with thin red onion, crumbled feta, and toasted pine nuts. It’s zippy, savory, and made to pair with whatever’s on your grill.

I used @terradelyssa olive oil and a mandolin for those paper-thin onion slices. Pro tip: tongs > fingers when squeezing hot lemons.

A sandwich that tastes like summer in Italy. 🌞🍅
Meet my Caprese Panini with Summer Aioli—quick to make, impossible to forget.

Here’s how I did it:
🍞 Slather ciabatta with a pesto-mayo blend (4 tbsp pesto + 1 cup mayo).
🧀 Layer fresh mozzarella + heirloom tomatoes.
✨ Drizzle with balsamic glaze, salt, pepper, and a few basil leaves.
🔥 Press in an olive oil-coated panini press or grill pan for 2–3 mins per side until golden + melty.

✨ I used my homemade pesto (link in bio!) and Miceli’s mozzarella—two non-negotiables in my summer kitchen.

Cooking has always been more than food for me — it’s tradition, it’s therapy, it’s love. I grew up in the kitchen with my mom and grandma, learning by doing, tasting, and laughing. Now, it’s my turn to carry it on from annual sausage and limoncello making to the everyday joy of stirring, baking, and sharing.

Here’s a little montage of what that looks like in real life 🍋🫶✨
#SaucedBySunday #FamilyTraditions #HomemadeWithLove #CoolGirlAesthetic #CLEfoodie

There’s something sacred about a slow Sunday at the kitchen table, a bowl of pasta, a glass of white wine, and no place to be but here. It’s where I recipe test, daydream, and sometimes just sit and savor. This is my reset ritual.
