My daily routine seems to revolve around waiting for avocados to ripen perfectly—just so I can eat at least one a day, as my health coach recommended. This small obsession has even reorganized my kitchen, pushing the bread onto the potato bowl and the avocados onto the Armatale bread plate that says: “Give Us This Day Our Daily Bread.”

So, you've made the smart choice to eat healthy with a fresh salad packed with veggies and protein. But wait—are you really going to top it off with store-bought dressing?

This vibrant lemon dressing created by Bistro 92 was specifically crafted to enhance greens with a bright, citrusy flavor that pairs beautifully with fish, poultry, and vegetables. A subtle dash of white truffle oil adds an extra layer of depth, creating a rich yet balanced taste. One of my favorite ways to enjoy this dressing is by tossing it with peppery arugula to serve as a fresh, flavorful base for perfectly seared sea scallops. However, its versatility extends far beyond that — It’s equally delightful drizzled over grilled vegetables, roasted chicken, or even a simple grain bowl. Whether used as a finishing touch or a marinade, this dressing elevates any dish with its light, tangy complexity. 

Cast iron is one of the best materials for cooking because of its superior heat retention, even heat distribution, and long-lasting durability. Unlike other cookware, cast iron maintains a stable temperature, making it ideal for searing, frying, baking, and slow cooking. Over time, cast iron develops a natural non-stick surface through seasoning, which not only enhances flavor but also reduces the need for excessive oil.
