It’s been hot and humid here, and I am not a fan. It’s not the time of year for high heat cooking, and probably not for soup. But it is time for sweet corn, and one of my favorite ways to eat corn is in a corn chowder. This is when my Instant Pot comes [...]
I love my morning coffee for a number of reasons. Yes, I do like coffee. But I also like the ritual. I get up, stumble into the kitchen, and the first thing I do is make coffee. I grind my beans and steam my milk before relaxing for a few minutes to enjoy a hot [...]
Okay, I know that a recipe for breadcrumbs doesn’t sound all that exciting, but hear me out. If you’ve ever had a slice or two of leftover bread that was kind of stale, this is a great way to use it up. Buttery, crispy, with loads of summer flavor thanks to fresh basil and lemon. [...]
As you can imagine, going out has not been so fun these days, if you’re even able to do so wherever you are. So drinking at home has become much more of a thing than it ever used to be, and because of that, I’ve amassed quite the home bar, and learned to make fun [...]
I bought some butterscotch pudding cups a few weeks ago because someone recommended them. Low and calories and super tasty I think were her exact words. Well, they certainly were low calorie. Super tasty? That’s a stretch. But after I ate some, I got it in my head that I had to have the real thing, [...]
I am not generally a fan of cauliflower masquerading as my favorite carbs. I’ve made it all — rice, mashed, pizza crust — and it rarely impresses me. I still try it, though, which is what brings me to this recipe. I picked up some cauliflower gnocchi on a whim at Trader Joe’s, and while I wouldn’t [...]
I’m not gonna lie — I love avocado toast. There are just so many different ways you can eat it, that it’s pretty hard to get tired of it. You can change bread, toppings, seasonings. As long as there’s creamy avocado involved it works. In this case, I used this bread, and then smashed the avocado [...]
I was always a Brussels sprout hater for as long as I can remember. Then one day I realized there are more ways to eat Brussels sprouts than just steamed and stinky. Like this Brussels sprout salad. Since Brussels sprouts are kinda just tiny cabbages, you get a crunchy and flavorful salad base that is [...]
Stone fruit season is in full swing here. Of course that means there are plenty of pies, crisps, and desserts to go round, but sometimes there is more to life than dessert. Like salad. The kind topped with juicy, in season peaches, cherries, plums, or whatever you like or have. In this case, I had [...]
I remember having a cherry clafoutis in France and being surprised when I learned that there were pits in the cherries. At first I thought that it was because pitting cherries is a pain, but I then I learned that it’s actually because the pits give the dessert an almond flavor, which makes sense since [...]
Here's all the social media sites people tell me I need to be on. You can (kinda) find me on these. The only one guaranteed to get you a quick response is email, so try that first.
