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!).

the nest jumbo lump crab cakes

Jumbo lump crab cakes was the birthday dinner request from my husband this year so I thought I’d give them a shot and WHOA, did they turn out AMAZING. A perfect crab cake in my book are thick and crispy with a punch of flavor that doesn’t take away from the decadent large clumps of crab.
