Roast Chicken with Lemon and Herbs
The one you’ll make on repeat all season.
Crispy-skinned chicken roasted with garlic, fresh herbs and bright lemon—it’s simple in the best way. Everything cooks together in one pot and goes straight from the oven to the table.
Roasted Chicken with Farro and Spring Peas
A one-pot meal that tastes like spring.
Tender roasted chicken nestled into nutty farro with sweet, bright peas, this dish is hearty enough to satisfy but light enough to feel seasonal.
Wholesome, easy and genuinely good.
Shrimp and Leek Bread Soup
Because bread belongs in the soup, not just beside it.
Plump shrimp and tender leeks simmer in a garlicky broth, with crusty bread soaking up every bit of flavor. It’s the kind of soup that surprises you… and makes you want another bowl.
Root Vegetable Hash
Hearty, colorful and just a little unexpected.
Tender roasted vegetables, crispy bacon and a hit of apple cider vinegar make for a hash that’s earthy, smoky and bright all at once. The kind of dish that looks humble but tastes like you put real thought into it.
One Pan Chicken with Lemon-Pistachio Couscous
Light enough for the season, satisfying enough for any night.
Chicken thighs marinated in warm spices develop a deep, fragrant crust, then finish cooking over a bed of toasted couscous that soaks up every bit of flavor from the pan. Fresh herbs, currants and pistachios folded in at the end add brightness and texture.
The kind of one-pan dinner that feels right when the weather starts to turn.

Fresh Minty Pea Pesto Pasta
The taste of spring, tossed with pasta.
Bright, herbaceous pesto made with fresh peas, mint, basil and lemon coats every strand in something that tastes unmistakably of the season.
Topped with creamy burrata, it’s fresh and light but still satisfying — and it comes together faster than you’d expect.
Blueberry Nectarine Crisp
Summer fruit at its best, with a topping worth the wait.
Juicy blueberries and ripe nectarines bubble up beneath a buttery, golden oat and almond crisp. It’s bright and jammy underneath, crunchy on top.
Serve it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and it’s the kind of dessert that disappears fast.
