These chocolate-dipped cherries are a perfect summer treat. Made with just two ingredients—fresh, in-season cherries and melted chocolate—they’re simple to make and fun to eat. We use dark chocolate, which is less sweet than milk chocolate and also high in antioxidants. After dipping the cherries, pop them into the fridge for 15 minutes to firm up. All that’s left is to serve them to your guests (and remind them about the pits!). Get the recipe at the link in our bio. 📷: @jacob_fox_photo

Martha’s recipe for Boston baked beans is simple enough. The hardest part? Waiting for the navy or pinto beans to cook—they take about six hours. Our founder uses classic seasonings, like dry mustard, cloves, brown sugar, and unsulfured molasses (which sets Boston beans apart from regular baked beans), adding the essential salt pork on top. The result is the ultimate barbecue or campfire side—serve these beans alongside pulled pork sandwiches or succulent ribs for the ultimate summer meal. Get the recipe at the link in our bio.

Our tuna melt recipe features a crunchy tuna salad, juicy tomatoes, and melty provolone cheese for a tasty twist on the classic sandwich. Served open-faced, it makes a satisfying lunch or dinner and comes together in less than 20 minutes. The tuna salad gets a tangy bite from capers and red onion, brightness from fresh lemon juice, and a subtle herby note from a touch of dried oregano. A few spoonfuls of mayonnaise lend creamy richness while helping bind the salad, keeping it from spilling off the bread as you dig in. Get the recipe at the link in our bio. 📷: @jake_sternquist

Martha’s jelly roll is a tweak on her mom’s recipe. The jelly roll, also known as a Swiss roll, was Mrs. Kostyra’s favorite cake and she would often whip them up for her family. Martha uses a sublime combination of whipped cream and raspberry jam to fill her cake. It makes a lovely presentation when sliced—and tastes as good as it looks.

Creamy, cheesy, and loaded with tender greens, these spinach and Gruyère quiches deserve a place at your next brunch. Blind baking the crust is a must—it ensures the bottom stays crisp and intact without any sogginess. Sautéing the spinach with shallots, meanwhile, removes excess moisture and provides an opportunity to build an extra layer of flavor. We love the contrast of nutty, robust Gruyère with the creamy eggs, but you can use another cheese like Gouda or fontina if you prefer. Get the recipe at the link in our bio. 📷: Dera Burreson

This salted caramel chocolate cake is dramatic, decadent, and so delicious. It’s a towering creation that features six tender layers of cake and salty caramel filling, all topped with a luscious frosting. The frosting is made with both semisweet chocolate and cocoa powder, so it's deeply chocolatey. Spread it in loose swirls on the sides and the top, then sprinkle some flaky salt as the finishing touch to contrast the sweetness of the dessert.

Sweeping along the main drive to her Bedford home, Martha’s vibrant border garden blooms continuously through spring and summer. “I had always wanted a garden rich in mauve, lavender, violet, purple, and blue, and I picked flowers in those shades. I planted clematis at each granite post in the pergola, then filled the beds with hundreds of alliums of all sizes, as well as nepeta, or catnip (which ended up being a mistake, because it spread like an invasive weed and eventually had to be moved). I also added ring-blooming bulbs, including crocuses, Camassia, and grape hyacinths, along with some comfrey.” Learn more about the blooms growing in Martha’s garden at the link in bio. 📷: @johnny_miller_

With its swirls of chocolate and vanilla, marble cake is truly the best option. And while it may be a bakery classic, it’s also easy (and fun!) to make at home. Our recipe starts by making a simple vanilla batter. After mixing cocoa powder into a portion of the batter, you’ll add alternating spoonfuls of both into a loaf pan to create a checkerboard-like pattern. Swirl the two gently before baking to create the marbled look that gives this cake its name. Get the recipe at the link in our bio. 📷: @jacob_fox_photo
