Having chickpeas in the pantry always saves me from dire hunger. If I have a can of chickpeas I can make literally anything. It makes me feel empowered and gives me security that even in my hungriest of moments, I can make something and not order takeout.

Summer time is almost here and this salad is proof that spring and summer can collide so very well. I had some leftover asparagus in the fridge and it needed a home so here it is. This salad is definitely inspired by the Mediterranean, a place I’ve never been to but want to visit so badly! The past few summers I’ve had the Amalfi coast and Greece on my list of places to visit and I’m a little sad that I couldn’t make it work this year either—but that’s ok! Because I have Hawaii in my near future so there are no tears.

If you are fortunate enough to live in a rainy, forest-y type of climate, you might have easy access to ramps. A reader told me just the other day that in West Virginia they’re so abundant that people don’t know what to do with them. How lucky!
My favorite weekend mornings always start with a frittata (or pancakes…or waffles…or something delicious—you get the idea!). Frittatas are my favorite go-to, easy breakfast food because I have the ratio of six large eggs to 1/2 cup of milk memorized so from there it’s all about getting creative. This ratio works for literally any frittata idea that you can come up with.
There’s nothing more that I love than a super quick, throw-together type of lunch. An egg salad sandwich is something that is always in the cards for me because:
