When warm weather arrives, I start craving crisp, fresh salads, and this Shaved Broccoli Apple Salad is one I come back to again and again. Thinly shaved broccoli, crunchy apple, and a light tarragon dressing come together to create a salad that’s fresh, flavorful, and surprisingly satisfying.

I grew up in the Midwest, where so many settlers from Germany rolled in around the 1880s to the turn of the century. They brought their favorite recipes with them, and cabbage rolls were one of them. A Bundt Pan Cabbage Roll might have an Oma or two rolling over if only she knew.

Sheet Tray Hasselback Smoked Sausage is the kind of quickie, low-effort meal that’s really a “back pocket” recipe. If you’re not familiar with the term back pocket, it’s a recipe that’s easy enough to memorize that you can “pull off” at pretty much a moment’s notice, especially if it can be riffed on with what’s in the fridge and/or freezer or pantry.

Yanno what I run hot and cold on? Pickles. Sometimes I just love them and can’t get enough and then sometimes I couldn’t care less about them. But I always get a little excited in the summer when those little pickling cucumbers start to show up. Coz then I can show off a bit and make my faves. Like these Refrigerator Bread & Butter Pickles.
