I know what you’re thinking. Pumpkin pancakes for fall. Groundbreaking. But allow me to be cheugy and cliche for a second. You can’t escape certain cliches, but like me, you can fully embrace certain cliches like Meg Ryan Fall. It brings me joy. Give me […]
Breakfast
Shakshuka with Tahini Sauce
I’m one of those people who love breakfast. Yes, I will happily get up early in the morning and dedicate the first hour of my day baking a fresh batch of scones. Yes, I am that dedicated, okay? Restaurants that serve all-day breakfast might be […]
Smoked Salmon Sliders
It’s amazing how much you can do with a little smoked salmon, some sliced cucumbers and a little bit of dressing. These smoked salmon sliders are so simple to make and in a different economy, they would cost next to nothing. My idea of bliss […]
Skillet Asparagus and Eggs
If you eat eggs for breakfast every single day, it gets boring very quickly, doesn’t it? I’m one of those people who has eggs for pretty much every single breakfast because I need easy protein and I’m not very creative, it seems. This Skillet Asparagus […]
Easy Eggs in Tomato Sauce
Some days, when I’m struggling to write a blog post and I can’t conjure up anything interesting to say, I wonder what’s the point in all of this. There’s millions of blogs out there and zero need for another eggs in tomato sauce recipe (but […]
Bored of your usual breakfast? Here’s some ideas.
I’m not sure why it is, but I love food more than just about anything else, Esther Greenwood says in The Bell Jar. Much like Esther, I spend a great deal of time thinking about food. There are nights when I’ll go to bed willing it […]
Cottage Cheese Pancakes
This is not my recipe – and I’d like to pretend neither is this amateur picture, but sadly I can’t blame anyone else on that one – but I felt compelled to share. These Cottage Cheese Pancakes, originally titled Currant Cottage Cheese Pancakes, are a […]
Cornmeal-Blueberry Pancakes
The New York Times prefaces this recipe by saying, “pancakes are so easy to make that they encourage experimentation”. I usually stick to my true and tested buttermilk pancakes, but these cornmeal-blueberry pancakes made wonder, how the heck didn’t I think of that before?? I love cornmeal; […]
Ricotta Tomato Toast
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 […]
Classic French Crêpes
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Burrata & Mortadella Toast
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 […]
Chickpea Shakshuka
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 […]
