These days are rough when it comes to eating because with nothing else to look forward to, food seems to be the easiest thing to hold on to. I’m not gonna lie, I’ve eaten my fair share of junk in the last few months, and definitely had more than my fair share of pizza and [...]
I’m a fan of pumpkin in the fall of course. But I’m also a fan of caramel apples, but the kind that you eat sliced dipped in caramel sauce. And while some things are generally perfect as is, even caramel sauce can be improved upon. Like this honey mustard salted caramel dip. I know what [...]
I’ve always like making things from scratch, and I’ve been doing a lot more of that lately — hasn’t everybody? My latest was homemade gnocchi. It’s surprisingly easy, making it a worthwhile effort for a weekend meal. If you look for homemade gnocchi recipes, you’ll find most want you to use a food mill or potato [...]
This is one of my favorite things to make at the end of the summer when there are still tons of tomatoes, but you’re tired of salads. It’s super easy because it requires no cooking, but is still creamy and cheesy, and you can use it in a lot of different ways. There are just [...]
I love quick breads. They’re easy to make, no mixer required. And, they’re often better the next day or two, so you can make one on the weekend and have a tasty treat on hand for the next few days or so. I know it’s not officially fall or anything just yet — and the weather [...]
I’ve been making a version of these vegetarian meatballs for years. It started out as an Italian flavored meatball, but has since evolved to, well, pretty much whatever I want them to be. They take a little bit of prep — cooking the lentils and rice, then food processing them with tofu — but they are delicious. [...]
They say breakfast it the most important meal of the day. But it can also be the most frustrating if you’ve got to get out of the house in the morning, especially if you’ve got others to feed. I’ve been making this for years now, and it’s one of my most reliable staples, although I’m [...]
It’s been a long few months over here, as I’m sure it’s been for everyone everywhere. I’ve learned a lot of things after having to stay home for months on end, but one of those is that drinking a home is significantly cheaper than going out. I mean, yeah, everyone knows that, but going out [...]
Homemade bread is one my favorite things to make, and with a lot of time spent at home of late, it’s the perfect way to kill a few hours or more. There’s something to be said about a warm loaf slathered with butter, but a soft and fluffy naan stuffed with spinach and artichokes may [...]
I spend a lot of time in the kitchen. Mostly cooking everyday things like tacos or mac n cheese, but occasionally an experiment comes along, like this charred scallion salt. This recipe is not a quick one, as it will take a whole day, but the results are a beautifully mellow, toasty, onion salt that [...]
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.
