BUCATINI WITH FRESH SUMMER VEGGIES RECIPE

Today I'm sharing the recipe that reignited my love of pasta. In this recipe, fresh zucchini and basil, juicy cherry tomatoes, and crunchy corn come together in a zesty lemon sauce for a pasta that's simple but flavorful. I prefer it with bucatini (my favorite), but it would be great with any type of pasta! Everything comes together in 30 minutes flat and it's the perfect meal for a summer night on the patio. Try it out and let me know what you think!

CINNAMON FRENCH TOAST RECIPE

There are two types of people in this world: breakfast people and dinner people (I've literally never met anyone who would consider themselves a lunch person). I fall into the first camp. I could honestly eat breakfast for every meal and I don't think I'd ever get sick of it. When I'm feeling stressed, frazzled, or sad, breakfast food is the perfect easy pick-me-up. Most of my breakfast recipes are quick and simple, making them a great way to end a busy day at work when I'm too drained to spend more than a few minutes cooking.

I find recipes through a variety of sources, but mostly using Pinterest, cooking blogs, and my collection of cookbooks. I wanted to be sure that I could link all of the recipes I'm...

BALSAMIC PASTA WITH ROASTED VEGETABLES RECIPE

I didn't take a serious interest in cooking until probably my junior year of college. I had dabbled in it before, but that summer I tasked my dad with teaching me as many recipes as possible. Despite the fact that I've loved cooking ever since and have made home-cooked meals almost every night for the past three years, it was only recently that I started to venture into the world of creating my own recipes. I've always found it much easier to just follow a recipe, but I want to get to a point where I can just whip something...

INSTANT POT MASHED POTATOES RECIPE

My dad got me an Instant Pot for Christmas last year, and let me just say it is LIFE. CHANGING. We have a tiny kitchen, which means not much room for appliances - and that makes it even more critical that the appliances we do have can perform multiple functions. This is one of many reasons that I love the Instant Pot! It can saute, pressure cook, slow cook, and more. And at under $100, it's well worth the expense. Although the Instant Pot isn't quite as fast as I thought it would be (it takes about 5-10 minutes to...
