I have been dying to try the iconic pinwheel pasta from @donangienyc , but getting a reservation seems to be more difficult than winning the actual lottery. So, I decided to take matters into my own hands. You can have pretty much everything made ahead of time and then just bake it before serving. It also made great leftovers.

Thinking about ditching the can this Thanksgiving? This cranberry sauce recipe is so easy and delicious, there’s no reason not to.

Blueberry’s with your steak? I know this might sound like an unusual pairing, but you’ll just have to take my word for it. Years ago, I had this combo at a restaurant that is no longer around, so I had to recreate it at home. I hope you give it a try.

This pesto is super easy to make, uber delicious, and goes well with just about anything — pizza, focaccia bread, or in this case, pasta! You can even pop some into the freezer for later!

This crunchy cucumber salad is so fun and easy to make, and it’s absolutely delicious.

This vodka rigatoni was insanely delicious and came together in under 35 min! The recipe is from Bon Appetit and is pure perfection.

Plus asparagus and baby potatoes for an easy, weeknight dinner on the grill.
