Cajun Shrimp Linguine

Credit: Photo: Jennifer Causey Styling: Lindsey Lower

Classic Cajun flavors--the smoky, spicy seasoning; sweet shrimp; and onion, green bell pepper, and celery trinity--give this pasta toss a New Orleans vibe. A jolt of ground red pepper spices things up nicely, while creamy half-and-half smooths out the edges.

Bacon, Tomato, and Arugula Pizza

Instead of having an arugula salad on the side, put it on top of your pizza for fresh flavor that pairs perfectly with the tomato and applewood-smoked bacon pizza toppings.

Blackberry-Oat Crumble Bars

Credit: Photographer: Helen Norman; Prop Styling: Hargett Miller; Food Styling: Marian Cooper Cairns

"These oat bars are a Blackberry Farm classic," says Steffan. "The recipe changes a lot with the seasons--we do it with peaches, strawberries, apples, you name it. The secret? Lots of butter."
