The Easiest Charred Brussels Sprouts Salad

For some reason, a shredded brussels sprouts salad always feels more elevated than a regular salad. I make this charred brussels, radish and apple salad for EVERY single gathering and people are always obsessed with it, so I’m excited to share the super easy and quick recipe here.

Another reason I love this salad is that all the veggies are all shaved thin and get super crispy and delicious under the broiler. It’s also delicious right out of the oven or cold as leftovers the next day, making it a really perfect meal prep for lunches during the week.

Easy Lemon Puff Pastry Recipe

Spring is finally here! The weather in NYC is starting to get warmer and I’ve officially put away my winter coat for the season (although I have been known to wear my winter hat well into April…).

Courtney here! In addition to putting away my winter clothes, I transitioned from baking rich, chocolatey cakes and pumpkin pies to light, fresh pastries and fruity treats. I’m doing all I can to channel warm weather and the hope of a more “normal” summer, so today I’m making an easy lemon pastry.

Made with puff pastry and homemade lemon curd, these mini delicacies make for a perfect Easter dessert or a citrusy treat with your morning Joe. Interestingly enough, I used to hate lemon treats, and all of a sudden, I’m craving them. They say your taste buds change every seven years or so, so if that’s true, it looks like mine are ready for a change. If you too are ready to channel all the spring vibes, try out this delicious lemon pastry recipe.
