This easy overnight pizza dough requieres no mixer, 5 basic ingredients and a minimum of hand kneading. This simple dough renders a crispy, golden and chewy crust. And you won’t need a pizza stone, a pizza peel or a pizza oven. You just need the basic tools you already have at home! If I did it that way, you can make it too!! For this pizza I added chopped rosemary and lemon zest to the dough and topped it with tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella, prosciutto, fig spread and arugula. But the magic of this recipe is that you can make it with whatever you want. It’s your creation! Now, hang up the phone because you won’t be needing delivery pizza anymore!

That was exactly what I thought after making my first pizza dough at home from scratch. It’s way too easy!! Okay, you will probably have pizza for delivery every now and then, but boy, you’ll think it twice! And since…

Romantic Picnic in Less Than an Hour

Can you believe this beautiful romantic picnic for can be made in less than an hour?! Roasted olives in a sweet lemony oil, a cheese tray and roasted scallops is all you need for a simple but out-of-the-ordinary meal during a crisp Valentine’s night. Add pretty flowers and some candles and you you’ll have a lovely date without the stress of planning a full dinner in advance one!

Is a picnic date romantic? I happen to think it is super romantic! I love eating picnic style in my own home, blanket on the floor completely optional! For me the casual vibe to it make the mood even more special, especially when serving extraordinary and typically sexy foods, like seafood, good olives, high quality cheeses and good wine. Eating with your fingers…

Asparagus Prosciutto Puff Pastry Tart, with white cheddar and herbs

A super crispy asparagus puff pastry tart, that keeps sturdy after baked even with a creamy filling? Yes please!! This tart is the definition of slow spring living. Fresh asparagus, fresh herbs, lemon zest, prosciutto and a creamy cheesy spread. It’s done in 30 minutes, from prep to bite. Serve it with a simple spring leaves salad with a sweet or mustardy vinaigrette and a crisp white wine as I did. You’ll be smiling bite after bite!

I like to think of this puff pastry tart as a cheat tart. It’s super good, will make you feel kind of fancy, the kind of recipe that will elevate any moment it’s served. But only you and me will know…

Watermelon Blueberry Cheese Salad

I don’t think it can get easier than this watermelon blueberry cheese salad! It’s super fresh and full of summer flavors. I dressed it up just with lime juice, olive oil, mint, salt and pepper. I used local queso blanco del país, which is a very mild cow’s milk cheese made here in Puerto Rico. But you can use any other soft and crumbly cheese such as queso fresco, halloumi or even gorgonzola for a stronger cheese flavor. I served it over arugula and toasty bread on the side. Every bite was just pure summer bliss!

Farmers Market Extra Creamy Pasta (made with coconut milk)

Even if the holidays are mega officially here and we wish to eat our weight (and the neighbor’s) in cookies and cake, we still need to eat, right?! Like real, substantial food I mean. That’s why I needed to share with you this super creamy pasta I made the other day using coconut milk, all the fresh squash from the season and lots of earthy herbs for a warm and comforting pasta meal. No heavy cream or butter this time. All the creaminess of the sauce comes purely from the coconut milk, the starch from the pasta water and all the cheese melted into it.
