  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix Greek yogurt, lemon zest, lemon juice, honey, and vanilla extract until well combined.

  3. In serving glasses or bowls, layer the lemon yogurt mixture.

  4. If using, add a layer of lemon curd.

Tip of the Day

“Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!

The Secret Life of a Farmers Market Vendor

Research on produce freshness and nutritional quality consistently finds that the time between harvest and consumption is one of the most significant factors affecting vitamin and antioxidant content. Produce sold at farmers markets is typically harvested within twenty-four to forty-eight hours of sale, compared to the average of four to seven days for supermarket produce after harvest. Studies on specific nutrients — including vitamin C in broccoli and folate in spinach — have found losses of thirty to fifty percent over a week of refrigerated storage, suggesting that the same vegetable purchased at a farmers market on Saturday morning and consumed that day delivers meaningfully more of its nutritional potential than the same vegetable purchased at a supermarket on the same day.

Cilantro is a good source of vitamins A, C, and K, and cumin contains antioxidant compounds linked to digestive health and anti-inflammatory benefits—making the spice blend here as functional as it is flavorful.
