Gluten Free Apple Bars

It’s apple season in Maine and the perfect time to visit an orchard and bake your favorite apple treats. - Charlene

Basic Pimento Cheese

The South loves their pimento cheese, but I've seen a fair share of it in Maine as well, which makes me happy! My Nana loved pimento cheese sandwiches. Best enjoyed on bad-for-you, fluffy white bread. Also great as a dip! - Kat

Watermelon-Tomato Panzanella with Burrata

When local tomatoes are in season, it's the perfect time to make this delicious salad using lots of fresh herbs! I love the addition of watermelon and creamy burrata (found by the fresh mozzarella in grocery stores). Enjoy! - Anna

Yummy Fruit Dip

I tend to eat a lot of fruit in the summer, and this dip is so easy and tasty, it's a go-to. Also, a fun BBQ app to share with others. - Whitney

Spicy Salmon Salad Rice Bowls

This recipe has quickly become my absolute favorite. It is like having sushi in a bowl, but the fish is cooked so it feels more home-cook friendly. It is easy to prepare and tastes great as leftovers. I was pleasantly surprised to find furikake at my local Hannaford made with Maine seaweed (Ocean’s Balance Bonito Furikake is what I use)! - Emma

Honey Garlic Chicken Thighs

I recently visited my son, Jamie and his girlfriend Emily, and they had this wonderful chicken cooked in the crockpot. The chicken was delicious, but what I really enjoyed was seeing my granddogter, Rosie! - Nancy

Maple Glaze

In honor of Maine maple season, here’s a recipe for a glaze that works well on fish and meats. Great for Brussels sprouts, too. - Charlene

Slow Cooker Beef Stew

“I'm a fan of this slow cooker recipe. It's a winner and very hands-off!” - Kat

Gruyere Gougeres

O.K. Squares

This is an oldie from my Mem. Growing up, she always made the tastiest treats, especially around the holidays. This was a favorite from her list of ten recipes she'd make each year to share and give as gifts. ~ Whitney
