Snap Pea & Arugula Salad with Lemon Dill Dressing

Snap Pea & Arugula Salad with Lemon Dill Dressing

I really wanted to just eat this dressing with a spoon. Like soup. Thought that might be frowned upon though, so I didn’t. But it’s so good! So is this salad. You see, arugula salad is often on the menu around here. So much so that my family banned me […]

Two whipped cheeses. Plus Parmesan. Two kinds of gnocchi (because I found these cute little mini gnocchi that were way too hard to resist). Pools of browned butter. And lemon. You know, to keep it light. 😉 This sounds way more complex than it is. It’s really super easy, so […]
