Ok, so maybe this is actually more of a club sandwich – but I don’t care, because it’s much more fun to call it a B.L.A.T.T.O. : a Bacon, Lettuce, Avocado, Turkey, Tomato, and Onion sandwich. A B.L.T. with onions and avocado is my absolute favorite sandwich, and I had some delicious thinly sliced turkey which I layered on to make it an even taller, heartier, and (of course) more delicious sandwich. For more delicious B.L.T. ideas for summer – check out this post I wrote last summer!

I’m always on the lookout for sweet potato recipes, because they are one of Matt and I’s favorite foods. This “pot roast” sounded delicious, and made for a great Saturday night dinner. I will definitely be trying it again, but with the hominy the original recipe recommends. Also, I think the sauce would be even more delicious with pork – a variation I plan on trying soon!

Like all my favorite pasta dishes, this was inspired by a trip through my produce aisle, then my meat and seafood counters. The sausage adds richness, the asparagus and favas add freshness, and the shrimp made it a little something special (at least at our dinner table). For a dish like this, where the ingredient list is short and sweet, be sure to use your very best and freshest ingredients. When it all comes together – a dish like this really sings, because you’ve used every part of the ingredients to build flavor along the way – the fat from the sausages is used to cook the shrimp and veggies in, for example, and the pasta water steams the vegetables to perfect tenderness and binds the dish together. It was simple enough to take just a few minutes, but lovely enough to serve as a special weekend supper – my favorite kind of food.

One more great Food52 inspired recipe to share before moving on to new things – this chicken dish is simple to prepare, but fancy and flavorful enough to make for a special occasion. For me, the special occasion was a weekend supper (my favorite because I’m not limited by the time constraints I often face mid-week when it comes to grocery shopping and cooking) for Matt and I. Simmering the dish gives it a nice slow-cooked flavor, but it doesn’t take long to make. I also love the flavors together – they are a natural combination that will always work!

I discovered this make-ahead meal on Food52, and I’m so glad I did. It’s super fast, but has incredible flavor and tastes like it took hours. Make the marinade the night before and get the chicken a-marinatin’. Then bake it and voila! Dinner in a flash.
