I have always enjoyed cooking. Or...I enjoy cooking when I have time to make it fun. I would love to share some of my favorites with you!

I like to try new things but also have a number of old favorite recipes that I also enjoy.

I’m hanging onto tomato season for as long as I possibly can, and this Puff Pastry Tomato Tart is a very good reason why.
Ripe tomatoes are layered over creamy ricotta with Parmesan, lemon zest and olives, then baked on puff pastry until the edges are crisp, flaky and deeply golden. A handful of fresh basil goes on at the end.

It’s one of those recipes that looks like you worked much harder than you actually did. Serve it warm with a simple salad for dinner, or cut it into smaller pieces for an appetizer.

And if you still have beautiful tomatoes at the market—this is what I’d do with them. Recipe here - https://almost-martha.com/recipe-catalog/f/puff-pastry-tomato-tart

Southern Squash Casserole
This Southern Squash Casserole was my mom’s recipe, and it’s one of those dishes that immediately feels like home to me. I always asked for this when we had our family over.
Tender yellow squash, baked in a creamy, cheesy filling and topped with a buttery croutons. It’s simple, old-fashioned comfort food—the kind of recipe that doesn’t need improving because it was already pretty wonderful to begin with.
I love being able to share some of my mom’s recipes here. Every time I make one, it brings back memories of her kitchen and reminds me how much of our family history is passed down through food.
I hope you’ll give this one a try. And if you have a favorite recipe from your mother or grandmother that you still make, I’d love to hear about it.

This Cherry Almond Pie has quickly become one of my favorites. A flaky, buttery pastry filled with cherries and toasted almonds—and here’s the best part: no pitting cherries!
It has all that wonderful cherry flavor without all the work. The toasted almonds add a little crunch and nuttiness that makes the whole thing just a bit more special.
Serve it warm with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream and you have a pretty wonderful dessert.
A little easier. A lot more delicious.

My first attempt at making a kale salad at home was...not great.
It was tough, chewy, and honestly felt more like I was eating leaves than salad. I couldn't understand why the kale salads I ordered in restaurants were so delicious while mine was such a disappointment.
Then I learned the trick restaurants use.
Before you ever add the dressing, you massage the kale with fresh lemon juice and a little sea salt. Just a few minutes of gentle rubbing transforms the leaves. They become softer, darker green, and wonderfully tender while still keeping a little bite.
From there, it's easy. A bright lemon-Parmesan dressing, crispy toasted panko breadcrumbs, fresh herbs, and shaved Parmesan turn kale into a salad you'll actually look forward to eating.
If you've tried kale before and weren't impressed, don't give up. You may have just been missing the secret.
The full recipe is on almost-martha.com. I'd love to know if this one changes your mind about kale! https://almost-martha.com/recipe-catalog/f/delicious-kale-salad

I went to the country for a few days and came home to this beautiful bounty! Tomatoes and flowers are my two favorites!

Don't wait for the holidays to enjoy creamy, cheesy potatoes.
This Weeknight Potato Gratin proves that comfort food doesn't have to wait for a special occasion. Thinly sliced russet potatoes, Gruyère cheese, and herb-scented cream come together to create a side dish that's simple enough for a weeknight but worthy of your holiday table.
It's rich, comforting, and surprisingly easy to make, and I have a feeling it will become a regular in your kitchen.
You can find the recipe and watch the video here: [https://youtu.be/yqnuc-5lxYw]
If you make it, I'd love to hear what you think!
