Indulge in your Decadence Era this summer with Lobster Tortellini Salad.
Why is Lobster Tortellini Salad the book-inspired recipe for The Summer Club?
Since The Summer Club takes place at a swanky New England country club, there’s a lot of high-end meals going through main character Flick’s kitchen. I was delighted to see lobster and steak appear numerous times on the dinner menu, along with various salads and sandwiches for lunch that...
Simple Shepherd's Salad is another book-inspired recipe for The Jinn Daughter.
This classic Mediterranean/Middle Eastern side dish pairs super well with my Mushroom Shawarma Grain Bowls, and is a more traditional version of my Chickpea Shepherd's Salad.
Why I love Shepherd's Salad
The reason I love Simple Shepherd's Salad is right in the name: it's simple.
This crisp, refreshing dish involves just a few ingredients: tomatoes,...
Mushroom Shawarma Grain Bowls are da bomb.
What? The kids still say that these days, right?
No?
*clears throat** These Mushroom Shawarma Grain Bowls are fire. And you’re gonna love ‘em.
Why are Mushroom Shawarma Grain Bowls the book-inspired recipe for The Jinn Daughter?
If you’ve read The Jinn Daughter – or, if you’ve just looked at the book cover – you’re probably thinking that my book-inspired recipe will be...
Hello, my name is CJ, and I’m addicted to this Mixed Berry Spinach Salad with Blackberry Vinaigrette.
How addicted am I? I had leftover noodle soup in the fridge I could have eaten for lunch. Instead, I went out to buy more spinach. So I could eat this salad again for lunch.
I IGNORED CARBS IN FAVOR OF SALAD.
Who even am I? Why is Mixed Berry Spinach Salad with Blackberry Vinaigrette the book-inspired recipe for The Vaster Wilds?

This book-inspired recipe for The Cloisters is an amalgamation of all my lunchtime favorites.
We're talking Chicken Caesar Wraps with hearty pieces of white meat chicken. We're talking Caesar Salads with creamy, dreamy dressing. And, we're talking cool and refreshing pasta salads.
What's a girl to do when she can't decide what to have for lunch?
You have it all with Chicken Caesar Pasta Salad.

We're keeping it short n' sweet with this Simple Tomato, Corn, and Torn Basil Salad, Tartlets.
As you saw earlier this week, this salad was served up with my Grilled Rosemary Balsamic Steaks. This side dish is another Old Country book-inspired recipe that pays homage to cooking with fresh, homegrown ingredients.
A Simple Salad...
Just like with the grilled steaks, rustic is the name of the game when it comes to making Tomato, Corn, and...
My herby, tangy, and refreshing Chilled Seafood Salad is the perfect dish for a light summer meal. I don't know about you, but once June rolls around, all I can think about is having an icy glass of lemonade, reading lots of books instead of working, and wishing I lived by the beach instead of in the mountains. And this year, after my adventures in Charleston where I ate ALL THE SEAFOOD, I just wasn't ready to let go of that shellfish...
The Summer of Salads continues with make-ahead marvel Caprese Farro Salad. While my Arugula Salad with Watermelon and Feta is a perfect appetizer for your fancy dinner party, you’ll want to haul along a container of Caprese Farro Salad to your next BBQ or neighborhood potluck. Why is Caprese Farro Salad the book-inspired recipe for Musical Chairs? One of the things I loved about Musical Chairs was the mood that it sets. Think hot,...
Freshen up your summer with Arugula Salad with Watermelon and Feta! Honestly, summers are made for salads. Mr Tart and I practically live on them during the hot, humid months. Mainly because we live in New Jersey, where summertime = tons of local, fresh produce. But, it’s also because we want to spend as little time cooking over a hot stove as possible. Why is Arugula Salad with Watermelon and Feta the book-inspired recipe for The...
Pinkies up, Tartlets! I'm bringing you all the fancy, afternoon tea vibes with these Curry Chicken Salad Sandwiches. The entire time I was reading The Finishing Touches, which takes place in London (a.k.a., my favorite city), I could NOT stop craving a proper British tea. It's been a few years since I've ventured across the pond *cries* so I've had to make do with afternoon teas I can find stateside, as well as create some of my own teatime...
