🙌🏻 The 5-Ingredient Late Summer Recipe I'm Loving


Hi Reader,

After several conversations with friends and neighbors, the consensus is that our interest in watering pots and gardens is officially waning.

While my low-maintenance landscaping is actually thriving thanks to a rainy August, I have to admit that the Trader Joe's basil plant I've gone on and on about this summer, has seen less and less of me over the past couple of weeks.

It's not you, it's me, Trader Joe's basil plant!

Anyway, I'm turning my final harvest into a batch of dairy-free pesto, then using it to make Easy Pesto Pasta. It's the perfect way to go out!

Creamy, flavorful, and made with just 5 ingredients, this easy, late-summer pasta is delicious all by itself, or paired with the protein of your choice. I like grilled chicken, roasted shrimp, or chicken cutlets.

Join me in saying goodbye to garden season with this simple yet stunning dish!

wok of chicken and broccoli stir fry

Hi Reader, Recently I received an email from a reader asking if I had a category of recipes that were both gluten and dairy-free. I was happy to tell her that ALL my recipes are gluten-free, so the dairy-free category on my website would cover both! I've received a version of this question quite a few times over the years and know that many folks who need to eat gluten free, also need to cut dairy. One of my children is severely allergic to dairy, so this is a topic I'm very familiar with....
