From custom Macadamia Nut cabinetry and Statuario Nuvo quartz to a striking soapstone range feature and vertical shiplap backsplash, this Scotch Plains kitchen was designed to be the heart of the home and a place where everyday moments become lasting memories.

A fresh, easy summer side dish inspired by Kristin Cavallari and Bobby Flay, made with cucumbers, avocado, chickpeas, lemon, honey, and flaky sea salt.

As MDW quickly approaches (How is the unofficial start to summer next week?!), I am thinking about the endless possibilities of summer snacks and apps I’ll whip up for a backyard BBQ or to bring along to a friend's pool party. My favorite dish to indulge in over the summer is my “go-to-pasta-salad!”
