With blueberries in season, what better way to prepare them than to combine with a banana muffin base? The use of whole wheat flour and replacing much of the sugar in a traditional banana muffin recipe with natural sources like honey, Greek yogurt, and applesauce results in a moist, dense texture. These banana-blueberry muffins make a light, satisfying breakfast or dessert.

Chef John's Truffled Potato Gratin
I used a mix of brown and lobster mushrooms, which worked very nicely, but this Chef John's truffled potato gratin recipe will be spectacular with any mushroom. If you can find some wild mushrooms like morel, chanterelle, porcini, or lobster, use them. But if you can't, use regular supermarket mushrooms and you will still be rewarded with a very memorable potato side dish.
The Famous Seafood Seasoning Recipe
This seafood seasoning recipe really wasn't that hard to crack. The ingredients are printed on the container! The only difficult part was working out the correct ratios for each spice or herb, but patience, perseverance, and good ol' trial and error saved the day. The original Old Bay Seasoning was invented in the 1940s by an American-German immigrant named Gustav Brunn. Initially, it was intended only for use on crab meat (as there was plenty of it in the Chesapeake Bay area where Gustav lived), but in the last decade or so, it's been used in other food areas, such as poultry and salads.
Mediterranean Chickpea Pasta Salad
This Mediterranean chickpea pasta salad recipe is picnic-friendly, vegan, and gluten free. I created this salad for friends who can't eat gluten or dairy. I used produce just harvested from my garden, but you can change-up the vegetables based on what you have on hand. If you're not dairy-free, feta cheese is a great addition.
