These miso chocolate chip cookies are delightful. I love a salty-sweet combo (like pineapple on pizza. yes, I like pineapple on pizza!!), and the miso here adds a lovely and subtle salty, earthy taste to the cookies. This recipe is a typical chocolate chip cookie […]
This roasted bell pepper salad is one of my favorites! It’s so easy and you only need a handful of ingredients. It’s a great summer salad, and even though you have to turn on the oven for this one, it’s just for a quick broiling […]
This One Pot Creamy Orzo with Shrimp is a very straight forward recipe, so let’s just get straight to the point. The best way to make orzo is to think of it as a risotto. Now, let’s dive in;) Think of the techniques used in […]
This blog has featured a fair amount of banana breads, like this one, or this one. You’d think there’d be enough banana bread recipes at some point, but apparently when it comes to banana bread, the limit does not exist. This Banana Bread with Dates […]
This Cucumber Sandwich with Herby Green Mayo is a fresh, simple take on the classic tea sandwich. Light and crisp with a creamy, herby spread, they’re easy to put together and perfect for a light lunch, afternoon tea, or a simple snack. These little sandwiches […]
I made these cookies a few weeks ago, back when fall was in full swing. Fast forward to now, when everyone’s busy baking gingerbread cookies, I thought, well, better late than never. It’s still pumpkin season after all, and the recipe does call for ginger, […]
Everyone talks about how adulting is hard – and I wholeheartedly agree – but people rarely talk about the perks. Like using any excuse to have your friends over for a fun night of silly and deep conversations, board games, and lots of wine. Like […]
This dish is a lot of things I like all at once: it’s one pot, it’s eggs poached in a spicy tomato sauce, it’s breakfast. Gochujang is a fairly new ingredient to me, but I like it so much, I’m always looking for an excuse […]
These little Buttermilk Donut Holes hold a special place in my heart. Growing up, my mom used to make these from time to time, but she’d usually keep them for rainy days. They always felt like such special little treats. We’d ask her to undercook […]
I’ve been taking full advantage of grilling season, so dinners around here have been featuring a lot of grilled vegetables and fresh salads. Summer meals are about simplicity and flavor, a great opportunity to showcase vegetables and make them the center of a meal. This […]
I’m always thrilled to find healthy-ish desserts, like these Oatmeal Almond Cookie Sandwiches. Although technically, I never need an excuse to indulge in desserts. I’m usually very pleased to satisfy my sweet tooth, whatever it takes. I’ve recently come to the conclusion that what is […]
I love an elaborate breakfast. I usually wake up craving a big serving of eggs, hash brows, and avocado on the side – actually, add some crisp slices of bacon to that. I’ve always been a huge breakfast eater (eat breakfast like a king kinda […]
I rarely keep any canned food, but there are a few I like to have on hand. Chickpeas and canned tomatoes, for example, are a constant in my cupboard. As much as I enjoy dried chickpeas, for their taste and benefits, soaking them overnight followed […]
If you’re a regular reader of this blog, you know how much I love Yotam Ottolenghi’s recipes. I’m not a vegetarian, but his unique take on vegetables is very inspiring. I knew I wanted to try this Slow-Cooked Chickpeas on Toast with Poached Egg from his book […]
When I first worked on this recipe I did so because I had an overwhelming amount of leftover cabbage I did not know what to do with. It then occurred to me how rarely I eat cabbage, why is that? It’s a controversial vegetable, apparently, […]
