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 try to plan meals, but it doesn’t always work out the way I think it will. Something always comes up, changing my plans, and leaving me with odd and end ingredients that I don’t know what to do with. Like in this case, I had a head of cabbage, a zucchini, some wonton wrappers, [...]
I’ve been going back and forth between eating a lot of veggies and eating nothing but bread and carbs, and I can’t be the only one, right? Sometimes, it’s veggies with bread, which seems like a decent compromise to me. This is one of those vegetable heavy recipes that is super easy, super tasty, and [...]
Cornbread is one of those things that you think should be better the next day. Like banana bread or something similar. But for some reason, even an easy cornbread recipe is tender and delicious on day one, but the next day, it’s just dry and crumbly. So then you’re forced to eat it all on [...]
I recently went to Morocco, and one of my favorite things to do was wander around the markets looking at various fruits and veggies, tea, and spices. There was so much that it was hard to decide what was worth taking home with me. In the end, I brought back several different spices, including ras [...]
I’m a fan of sauces, and think a good sauce can make a meal. But when it comes down to it, a busy night when you’re tired and don’t want to clean the kitchen does not call for a sauce. Unless it’s as easy as this one. Seriously. No blender, no continuous chopping and dicing, [...]
There are a lot of things to like about bread, but one of my favorite things about a good loaf of bread or pizza crust or anything made with yeast is well, the flavor of the yeast. One way I’ve found to get that same savory umami flavor without all the carbs is by mixing [...]
A vegetarian sausage and pepper pizza is probably my favorite pizza, since having it at a local place near me, but I could never get it right myself. Mostly because the sausage was never right. Sausage is one of those things that should be easy to replicate with seasonings, but that’s not always the case. [...]
Pasta is not a favorite dish of mine, but I do love gnocchi, especially this one pot gnocchi. There’s something about tender, pillowy bites of potato coated in velvety tomato sauce that are comforting on a cold winter night. I’ve made it a lot of ways, but this way might be my favorite — topped [...]
There are dinner rolls. And then there are milk bread rolls. And if you’ve had them both, then you know the difference. A good crusty dinner roll is a thing of beauty, yes. But, this is not that. Not at all. These are quite the opposite of that, actually. These are soft and squishy, and [...]
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.
