Taco dip makes the shortlist of my favorite snacks. It's so satisfying to scoop up with a tortilla chip, and, it's basically a full meal in itself. You've got protein, vegetables, and dairy all in one dip. We love that!

What is brown butter?

I'm a big sandwich person and BLTs rank somewhere amongst the highest on my list of favorites. For me, they're one of the essential summer foods. Bacon, lettuce, and tomato between two pieces of toast. So simple, so delicious. I can't say there's any wrong way to make a BLT, either, but there might be a right way. BLTs didn't need to be improved, but it still doesn't hurt to try to improve upon one of the most delicious sandwiches there is. So, I compiled a list. It's a list of possibilities, BLT hacks if you will. Try implementing a few of them to your next BLT and see which ones you like.

Who would've thought they could improve butter? Brown butter has been all the rage lately and for good reason!

We've all been learning how to make bread during quarantine. I'm not sure why this trend began but I'm here for it! I started off my bread journey making classic white bread, and then I started experimenting with some flavors. This herb-crusted bread is my favorite rendition yet! It's super simple, but the spices on top add a nice pop of flavor. I'll add some of my notes along with the recipe, and, as always, I encourage you to use this recipe as a guide and not a rulebook. Feel free to add your own flavors, take out some of my ingredients, get creative. Just be sure to make it a little bit fancy! Now, without further ado, here is the recipe.

Hi. My name is Ritz. I am a fluffy golden retriever. I love to sleep and fetch and chew on toys. But the thing I love most of all is swimming. My breed was made to swim through the water to retrieve ducks. I don't think I've ever retrieved a real duck before. I did have a toy duck when I was a young puppy that I thought was real for a long time. I chewed and chewed on him and I didn't understand why he kept squeaking. Then, finally, I tore him open and I found fluff inside. Fluff! My humans tricked me! All that time I thought I was being a hero, bringing down a mighty, mighty duck. Anyway, I digress. I've never retrieved a real duck, but I do love to retrieve tennis balls when my humans throw them into the water.
