I make peach cobbler every summer and for years this Bon Appetit recipe has been my go-to. This year I thought I’d try a different variation, and this one is adapted from Dorie Greenspan’s Everyday Dorie. I find drop-biscuit cobblers perfect for summer, but I’m not gonna lie; I’m […]
It’s tomato season and I’m always looking for ways to celebrate this juicy summer fruit in all its glory. This ricotta tomato toast hardly requires a recipe, but it’s so wonderful in its simplicity that it deserves a post of its own. The secret to […]
This B.L.A.T. sandwich is so simple, but as a big sandwich fan I feel the need to share. It basically takes your classic BLT up a notch. Add a layer of avocado and a layer of sriracha mayo, and you’ll be surprised by how flavorful […]
These pancake’s French counterpart are so delicate and delicious. Classic French Crêpes are elegant and thin, because they don’t have any leavening agents, which also means they’re not as fluffy. But they’re folded and rolled with a plethora of fillings, so they can be just […]
This lovely little dessert/snack is the easiest thing to put together. Think of it as churros, but easier, because we’re not making anything from scratch, we’re cheating! Instead of making your own croissants and turning this into a days-long dessert, just use store bought. For […]
These balmy days of summer have me craving something sparkling and refreshing at all times. There’s nothing like reaching for a cold citrusy beverage on a hot day, when you’re severely dehydrated and your body’s need for liquid seems to be endless. The great thing […]
Inspired by an Ottolenghi recipe (his recipes are always a hit, see here and here), this very summery salad has all the elements of a perfect salad: it’s citrusy, sweet, salty, it has different textures, and it’s so pretty! I love adding fruits to salads and initially I […]
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 […]
I love the simplicity of cornbread. It’s mostly basic ingredients and a basic preparation, and yet it can be a side to a chili on a cold winter night or a bright dessert on a hot summer day. We all have a trusted family recipe and […]
Plus lots of wonderful recommendations! The other day I was the luckiest girl in the world when I got to try the best olive oil in the world. It was a mind-blowing, life-changing olive oil that produced the silkiest, smoothest pesto I’ve ever had. I […]
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 […]
A few weeks ago I had the privilege to go to New York. Visiting New York is always a privilege, you’re instantly reminded that there’s so much to do and and so much to see in the world. Then, you realize that really, you’re just […]
Antipasto Pasta Salad. But make it vegetarian. It’s been getting too hot to even consider baking or doing basic things like planning dinner. Lately all I do is feel sleepy – not my fault, heat makes us tired. And that has really affected my productivity. […]
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 […]
