Hi Friends Reader This recipe feels extra special to me. Growing up in coastal Bahia-Brazil, seafood was always a big part of family meals. Living in New England this tradition hasn't changed.

It comes together in about 30 minutes, making it just as perfect for a weeknight dinner as it is for entertaining friends....

Hi Friends Reader Happy August! If there is one month when the garden really tells us what to cook, it's August.

So, I put together my August Produce Guide to help you do exactly that. Inside you'll find 9 fruits, vegetables, and herbs at their best right now....

Hi Friends Reader This week I shared one of the simplest recipes I've ever published, and I honestly can't believe how delicious it is. The internet is already loving it and I am sure you will too! Made with just two ingredients, these cheesy onion crisps bake into crispy, lacy bites with sweet roasted onions tucked inside. They're the kind of snack that disappears almost as quickly as they come out of the oven. Whether you're serving them as an appetizer, alongside grilled chicken or...

It feels a little special, but it comes together in just about 30 minutes and it's exactly the kind of meal I love on busy weeknights....

Hi Friends Reader I'm always curious to see which recipes everyone is cooking from Garden in the Kitchen each week. Some of these favorites show up at the top of the list year-round, while others make their way back every season. Either way, there's a reason these recipes are viewed by hundreds (and sometimes thousands!) of home cooks every single day. They're reliable, family-approved, and recipes readers come back to again and again. If you're wondering what to make next, let the community...
