Summer is officially here!

Summer is officially here, and I can't think of a better time to share something I've been quietly working on for months.
The Sweet Garden Finale: Raspberry Lavender Cake with Raspberry Glaze
If you’ve never baked with floral flavors before, this is the perfect introduction. By using a high-quality syrup, we get a consistent, sophisticated flavor that tastes like a summer breeze. It’s elegant, it’s vibrant, and it is the only way to say goodbye to June.
The Main Event: Almond-Crusted Stuffed Chicken & Silky Lemon Linguine
This isn’t your average weeknight chicken breast. We are elevating it with a three-layer flavor profile that is absolutely a knockout:
The Side Dish That Rivals the Main
If you think broccoli is just a "filler" on the plate, this recipe is here to change your mind. In June, we want our vegetables to be vibrant and full of texture. By roasting at a high heat, we transform humble broccoli into something crispy, savory, and completely addictive.
The Perfect Summer Salad: Peaches, Goat Cheese & Butter Lettuce
If June had a flavor, it would be a perfectly ripe, sun-warmed peach. While I love a peach cobbler as much as the next person, there is something sophisticated about bringing that sweetness into the savory course.
This week, we’re moving from our Flash Fried Spinach into a salad that looks like a work of art but takes minutes to assemble: Butter Lettuce with Peaches and Goat Cheese Medallions.
