For me, making this homemade tomato sauce recipe is one of the highlights of late summer. Like bruschetta or a good Caprese salad, it’s something I only make at this time of year, when fresh tomatoes are sweet, juicy, and abundant. This tomato sauce has a slightly looser, chunkier texture than my traditional marinara sauce, and its flavor is sweeter and fresher. If you have a garden full of tomatoes, it’s a great way to use them up, but even if you don’t, I hope you’ll try it. You can...| Love and Lemons

I love sipping one on a warm summer evening or a crisp fall night. The combination of bright lime, warming ginger, and, well…being served in a mug makes it a great all-seasons drink. I...| Love and Lemons
We’ve been spending August at our cottage in Michigan, where we’ve had a steady stream of guests. My mom, my sister, close friends… Every time someone comes to town, we go blueberry picking!

But this month, my favorite way to use them has been in this blueberry baked oatmeal. I’ve made it 3 times already, and I don’t see myself stopping anytime soon. Here’s why I...| Love and Lemons

It’s also faster (no preheating required!), and with a four-year-old running around, I can...| Love and Lemons
