"Lobster rolls will forever remind me of our honeymoon. We flew to New York City for a few days, then rented a car and hit the road toward Maine. It was on this trip that I had my first-ever lobster roll. I can still remember the taste of that lobster paired with a buttered bun. Simple, fresh, and just delicious." – Joanna Gaines, Magnolia Table, Volume 3. (This recipe has been slightly adapted from the Lobster Rolls featured in Magnolia Table, Volume 3.)

“There are some meals you know are special because of the time they require or the long list of ingredients they call for. Other times, I find joy in recipes that can be as creative or straightforward as I want. The base of this recipe offers that flexibility. Flatbread is delicious with a simple, traditional hummus or dip, but I also love piling on veggies from the garden, or as this recipe calls for, a little bit of prosciutto and arugula.” — Joanna Gaines, Magnolia Table, Volume 3

"An easy way to gather vegetables for this recipe is to keep a baggie in the freezer and whenever you have leftover vegetables you can just toss them in. That way, as soon as you cook a recipe that leaves you with chicken bones, you have what you need to make the stock—you can just put it all in a large pot on the stove and let it simmer. I always try to make as much of this stock as possible so that I can freeze at least half the batch. There is satisfaction in using every last bit of food you can, and knowing that nothing is going to waste." – Joanna Gaines, Magnolia Table, Volume 3

Homemade Chicken Stock

"My girls love pink sauce and they love zizi—so this recipe is their absolutely favorite combination of pasta. I have to say, it's become a favorite of mine, too!" - Joanna Gaines, Magnolia Table, Volume 3

TIP: For quick assembly, substitute the homemade pie crust with a store-bought 9-inch pie crust. 
“Since I was a kid, cherry pie has always been my favorite. But no one in my house likes it all that much. I was disappointed until I discovered this recipe. Now I’ve realized that being the only person who likes cherry pie in a house where there’s fresh cherry pie isn’t a bad thing, because I have the whole pie to myself!” — Joanna Gaines, Magnolia Table, Volume 3

"An antipasto salad is meant to be enjoyed, quite literally 'before the meal,' and I love to use this recipe as an introduction for what's to come in the courses that follow. It also works well for lunch, since the mix of meats, cheeses, and greens make it pretty hearty—something that can stand alone." - Joanna Gaines, Magnolia Table, Volume 3

French silk pie is a tried-and-true classic that’s typically served with a traditional pie crust. I am a firm believer that the more chocolate the better, so I often make this pie with a chocolate cookie crust for an even richer flavor. – Joanna Gaines, Magnolia Table, Volume 2

"Serve this rich bisque with thick slices of crusty bread, such as warm ciabatta or a baguette. I like to put out a couple of shallow dishes of really good olive oil on the table to dip the bread in. I also like to top the bisque with crème fraîche, which is creamier, thicker, and less tangy than sour cream. The bacon and chives on top add a bit of crunchy texture to the velvety bisque." – Joanna Gaines, Magnolia Table, Volume 1

"A dish that looks fancy but is secretly simple will always have a place on my table. Wedge salads in general are great at pulling this off—and fortunately, everyone in our family enjoys them. I like to slice the iceberg wedges beforehand, then serve the toppings family-style so everyone can tailor their own. The kids and I like to dress our salad with ranch, but Chip always prefers blue cheese. Since this is one of Chip's favorite salads, that classic take is what I've shared here." – Joanna Gaines, Magnolia Table, Volume 3

Bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts tend to maintain their moisture much better than their boneless, skinless counterparts. This recipe is an easy and delicious way to incorporate luxe truffles into everyday life. The truffle butter recipe used here goes a long way and can be stored in the freezer until you’re ready to use. For best results, prep the chicken breasts the night before and pair with a green salad, or roast a few veggies to serve alongside, and dinner is on the table in less than an hour! If truffle butter isn’t available, use plain butter or herbed butter as an easy substitute.
