New England [Heart and] Kitchen By Grace Vallo

Delicious Irish mashed potatoes, called Colcannon, are loaded with cabbage, leeks, scallions, and of course – butter!

Filled with seasonal ingredients, this rigatoni dish plays off a classic caprese, adding bits of salty pancetta and sweet corn from the cob bring farm fresh ingredients, and family, rushing to the dinner table.

Ultra-satisfying and incredibly delicious: start your morning with the nutty, yeasty taste of a toasted whole wheat English muffin.

Imple, clean, lemony, and ever-so summery: crisp Bibb lettuce, tender white beans, chunks of good-quality tuna, and the sharpness of fennel and onion.

The citrusy sweetness of segmented naval oranges with the white membrane, the crunch of freshly shaved cucumber, the bursts of heat from peppercorns, the tender saltiness of good-quality smoked salmon.

Although it's difficult to narrow down my absolute favorite bruschetta toppings, Heirloom Tomatoes and Basil, Olive Oil Tuna Salad, and Garlic-Herb White Bean are classically irresistible.

The best ever Peanut Sauce and Thai-style marinated Pork (Or Chicken) Satay.

Fresh mozzarella, shaved sweet onion, and arugula, along with crispy and salty serrano ham and sliced peaches, are tossed lovingly with a Meyer lemon vinaigrette.

Picture tender chicken and earthy shiitake mushrooms, surrounded by a sage-infused, bubbling crushed tomato sauce.

What makes this Greek Salad extra special? The garlicky, lemony dressing, the crunchy veggies, the delicately shaved red onion, the tangy punches of kalmatas and pepperoncinis, and the crumbles of creamy feta cheese.

Lthough there are a million takes on stir fry, here's my favorite: Stir Fry with Roasted Cashews and Grilled Teriyaki Chicken.

Saturday crushed tomato sauce: never buy another bottled tomato sauce again! Warning - this recipe is for those who want to make a ton of homemade tomato sauce to freeze and use at a later date.

The Slanted Door's signature dish is Shaking Beef.

I'm telling you - you'll rethink how good a chicken salad can be when you've had this! It's just.

Lobster Pasta with Leeks, Peas, and Chive Brown Butter.

Picture bright green frisée, tossed with toasted pine nuts, sweet and tangy vinegar marinated zanté currants in a rich garlic olive oil.

My Fish Chowder incorporates a light, peppery base with smoky bacon, generous chunks of potato, and celery for brightness.

Caramelize these babies in some extra virgin olive oil for bright green brussels with lovely golden brown char marks.

Start with a toasted whole wheat tortilla, layered with all natural peanut butter, thin slices of banana, salted peanuts, and a drizzle of raw honey all folded together in a lovely little package.
