Lemon-Ginger Dressing

Thanks to my mom, I was introduced to this oil-free dressing that manages to maintain all of the brightness and acidity that I love in a dressing.

Simple Basil Pesto

I adore fresh pesto. It is so easy to make and brings incredible flavor to everything: pasta, sandwiches, grilled vegetables, rice, pizza—it’s an addition of something lovely every time. Traditional pesto calls for Parmesan cheese but this one simply omits it and ups the ante with extra pine nuts and lemon.  Besides, shouldn’t the basil be the star?

Chilled Summer Yams

For quite some time, I wasn’t sure what to call this recipe.  Pumpkin pie mash?  Pumpkin pie filling?  Sweet potato salad?  Then, I took a bite and closed my eyes.  What came to mind were picnics, summertime, Tupperware containers, and my happy children.  Hence, “chilled summer yams,” perfect for packing int
