Tuesday: Arugula Pesto

My take on Arugula Pesto is bright, peppery, lemony, and comes together in just a few minutes with a handful of ingredients. This recipe is versatile. Toss it with pasta for an easy meal, slather the pesto on crostini, add it to a cheese board, or fold it into a salad dressing.

Wednesday: Beef Bolognese

Easy, delicious, and even better the next day, this Beef Bolognese recipe is my ultimate go-to dinner. Enjoy it with your favorite pasta, or layer it in lasagna Bolognese. This recipe is not traditional or even authentic but rather my own take on the classic.

Salad: Watermelon Cucumber Feta Salad

This Watermelon Cucumber Feta Salad is everything I crave in the summer: juicy, refreshing, salty, tangy, and just a little herby. It’s the perfect side for any backyard BBQ or a quick lunch. It comes together in under 15 minutes.

Baking Recipe: No Knead White Bread

This beginner-level no knead white bread recipe is a great starting point for a beginner home baker. It has a crusty exterior and tender, soft crumb. The recipe does take some time to prepare (mostly hands-off time while the dough rises) but the final loaf will be worth the wait.

Dessert: Macerated Strawberries

Macerated strawberries are juicy, sweet, and make the perfect topping for everything from vanilla ice cream to sponge cake. Fresh summer strawberries are already pretty irresistible on their own, but give them a little sugar, a pinch of salt, and some creative flavorings, and you’ve got a whole new level of delicious.
