Squash blossoms are a seasonal delicacy that you absolutely should enjoy. These bright yellow flowers are the male blossoms that grow on various squash plants such as zucchini & summer squash. Every year I love to plant these vegetables in my garden not only for the fruit it bears but these beautiful, edible blossoms.

zucchini & summer squash stacks

This is SO easy to make. The tempura batter takes two seconds to whisk together and the ricotta herb spread only involves chopping up some fresh herbs (but dried herbs can be used as a substitute!).

walnut, parsley, & pecorino stuffed mushrooms

I love these stuffed mushrooms so much. If you aren’t careful, you’ll suddenly realize you’ve eaten at least 8 of them and didn’t save any for your guests! Whoops. These are filled and baked with a medley of garlic, finely chopped walnuts, fresh parsley and nutty pecorino.

perfectly roasted veggies

There is nothing more delicious than a perfectly roasted vegetable that is tender yet still crisp. I absolutely love to pair these with my Herbacious Veggie Dip for the perfect party appetizer or side dish to any entrée.
