I totally forgot to mention something.
My soup obsession is back.
Even though I wrote about soup almost weekly last year, the warmer months made me lose steam — I really don’t like heat, and it kept me from craving hot bowls.

We’re going to elevate your salads today with cozy, flavorful dressings perfect for the season.
One of the quirks of running a food blog is discovering that some of the best recipes live inside others — specifically, salad dressings. I mentioned this in a previous post about signature house salads, but dressings are my obsession.
I’ve even included a section in my cookbook dedicated to dressings and sauces you can make ahead for the week to lift every meal and add variety. A thoughtful dressing can transform a simple salad into something memorable.
