If you were friends with me on Snapchat, you'd likely be getting an inappropriate amount of snaps of my weeknight dinners. Here's an example of one of my favorite kinds of quick and easy weeknight dinners: a freshly broiled, grilled, or stovetop-cooked steak with a bright, lemony sauce and some veggies on the side. I like to cook a large piece of meat like this, and keep the leftovers for ... View Post
Watermelon Cucumber Salad
Meet my new favorite 5-ingredient summer side dish (OK well 7 ingredients if you include the pantry staples salt and olive oil): a salty, sweet, and tangy watermelon cucumber salad. Normally I shy away from raw onions, but they totally work in this recipe because they "marinate" slightly in the lemon and watermelon juice.

Deconstructed Tuna Niçoise Salad
You know how perfectly styled coffee tables are all the rage right now?
