Summer is that beautiful time of year when both peaches and tomatoes are in season and peak quality, and this easy appetizer celebrates that. We combine peaches and tomatoes in this sweet-salty snack that goes perfectly on top of golden brown baguette slices. Tossing the fruit with just a little salt and olive oil makes the fruit shine and keeps things tasting fresh and sweet.

Lobster rolls are a classic summer meal, but the truth is you don’t really need the split-top hot dog buns (or melted butter if you’re eating it Connecticut-style). Lightly dressed with mayo and finished off with a big squeeze of lemon juice, lobster salad tastes incredible on its own, especially paired with slices of creamy avocado. 😉

We love a cold, refreshing margarita to cool off in the summer months, but that doesn’t stop us from enjoying these classic drinks year round. For this recipe, we wanted to make a marg worthy of toasting any occasion, so we added Champagne to our classic margarita for a festive, bubbly touch perfect for any bridal shower.

We’re big fans of classic bruschetta, but when we’re craving a sweet twist on the classic summer appetizer, we turn to this strawberry-balsamic version. Baguette slices are toasted in the oven until nice and crispy before being topped with a ricotta spread, sweet strawberries, basil, and a balsamic glaze. The result is a sweet-tangy bite that works just as well as a starter as a post-dinner treat.

Pasta salad is the ultimate side dish blank canvas. You get to pick the noodle shape, mix-ins, and dressing, so it’s not surprising that we have over 50 different recipes for it. This time around, pasta salad gets a Mediterranean twist, showcasing some of my favorite flavors from that corner of the globe. And the best part—although pasta salad is usually thought of as a side, the added protein from the chickpeas will make this easy to turn into a main.

Spritzes are delicious year-round and should be for everyone! This easy-to-make, booze-free cocktail hits all the marks. It’s tart, herby, slightly sweet, a little smokey, and definitely an adult mocktail that isn’t too heavy on the fruit juice or sweetener.

Bruschetta, be warned: BLAT toasts have arrived. Topped with avocado, romaine, sliced tomato, and crispy bacon, these mini toasts pack big BLT flavor in a few small bites. Did we mention the bread is toasted in bacon fat?

Deviled eggs bring the party to any event, but especially an spring celebration. While they are fairly simple to make, there are a few ways you can go wrong when making this staple party appetizer. If you’re looking for a foolproof method to hard boiling and filling your deviled eggs, our best recipe should be your new go-to.

We’ll say it—brown sugar cinnamon is THE superior Pop-Tart flavor. Whether you eat them straight out of the package or pop them in the toaster, the combo of caramel brown sugar combined with cozy cinnamon almost can’t be beat. The only thing better? Perfecting that flavor at home in the form of these blondies. These blondies are not only much easier and quicker to make than the crust of a Pop-Tart, but you also get the perfect chewiness of everyone’s favorite dessert bar.
