Gochujang Eggs in Purgatory with Chickpeas
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 […]
Five Favorite Things
It’s been months since I’ve last done a Five Favorite Things post, so a little life update/ mindless shares post is in order! As much as I’m looking forward to all things fall and Gilmore Girls season, I’m still mourning summer. In fact, if you’ve […]
Fresh Peach Cake
Peach season is not officially over until late September, and that’s great news because it means you still have time to try this gorgeous Fresh Peach Cake. An Ina Garten’s recipe, it’s truly phenomenal and flawless. The combination of fresh peaches, cinnamon and nuts and […]
Peach Caprese Grilled Chicken
Let’s pretend summer isn’t pretty much over for a few more posts because I still have recipes to share, okay? Thank you, now let’s talk about this Peach Caprese Grilled Chicken. Sometimes I work on a recipe and then have a real time coming up […]
Sautéed Zucchini with Charred Tomatoes and Feta
I know fall is right around the corner, and yes I’m looking forward to it, but it’s not too late to squeeze in a few summer recipes before fall is officially here!! This Sautéed Zucchini with Charred Tomatoes and Feta, inspired by a couple Ottolenghi recipes […]
Strawberry Orange Layer Cake
Summer came and went and in the meantime I have managed to completely neglect this blog. Has anyone noticed that? Oh well, this past month I’ve been avoiding the thought altogether. I’ve been blissfully ignoring my failures and my shortcomings. Instead of worrying about my […]
Prosciutto & Goat Cheese Croissant Sandwich
Do you really need a recipe for a prosciutto and goat cheese sandwich? Okay, maybe not. But as I type this, it’s so hot. Too hot to cook and I can’t even fathom turning on the oven. I’ve recently shared my shrimp ceviche recipe that’s […]
Shrimp Ceviche
When it’s too hot to cook, all I want is a quick and fresh meal to cool me down. Shrimp Ceviche is perfect for those days because it requires zero cooking – although we’re cheating a little here – but it’s bright, fresh, and zesty. […]
Buttermilk Donut Holes
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 […]
Chocolate Pots de Crème
I’m fascinated by rich desserts that are made of simple ingredients that you’re likely to have on hand. French cuisine is full of such miraculous recipes: crème brulée is basically cream, eggs, and sugar. Dairy products, staples for French cooking, are found in all types […]
Macedonian Kebapi
My Romanian friend recently introduced me to the wonderful world of Eastern European food. I know it’s a vast region, and it encompasses many different cultures, ethnicities, languages, and histories, but it’s still a cuisine I am quite unfamiliar with. There is such a crossover of regional influences, […]
Pan-Fried Eggplant with Miso Tahini Dressing
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 […]
Fried Halloumi and Burst Tomatoes Toast
I’ve got a new recipe for you for those long days of summer when the sun is shinning and you’re sitting on the porch, reading a book or surrounded by friends. There’s Aperol spritz on the table, and all you need is a quick, mediterranean-style […]
Creamy Lemon Zucchini Orzo
I find orzo to be a funny little type of pasta. It’s pasta, but it looks like rice, and in fact, can also be a grain substitute. This Creamy Lemon Zucchini Orzo, a hybrid of pasta and risotto, is ultimately a cozy summertime dish. It […]
