It’s pouring rain outside… You can’t leave your house. What’s your favorite rainy day activity? Mine would be eating and watching movies. Perhaps a little game of scrabble? Or maybe finishing one the three books I’m currently reading. As I write this, the rain is […]
I was thinking, what happens if I just fill this blog post with gibberish? Bla bla bla Roast Beef with Jalapeño Relish bla bla. Do people ever bother reading these? But again, it’s not about the reader, it’s about the SEO, isn’t it? In that […]
Are we all in agreement that it’s okay to call a cauliflower steak a steak? I sometimes see comments online and the topic is very controversial. People tend to take it very personally. In any case, let’s agree to call this a Cauliflower Steak with […]
I love a side dish. Who doesn’t love a side dish? Who doesn’t love a side dish that’s doused in butter and parmesan cheese – the iconic duo of the food world? This Cheesy Polenta with Tomato Sauce truly has it all – the butter, […]
White fish with green goddess dressing & pineapple salsa. I know, it’s a lot. It’s intimidating. And I don’t want to make things worse, but I did leave some of it out. Technically it’s white fish with green goddess dressing & pineapple and cucumber salsa […]
This Baked Shrimp with Feta is the kind of recipe that feels like summer in the dead of winter, and it’s delightful, because who doesn’t enjoy a little bit of summer in February? But then you take a picture of the dish only to realize […]
Another fish recipe, because apparently I’m on a roll! This Pan Seared Salmon with Broccoli Slaw is one of those recipes that require very little forethought because you can just get store-bought slaw and then all you have to do is whisk the dressing together and […]
I should probably work on the title of this recipe because One Pot Coconut Pesto Rice and Fish is certainly a mouthful. But maybe it’s a good thing, you get everything you need to know about it just by reading the title. It’s a one […]
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. […]
I first made this Celery, Fennel and Apple Salad back in the summer, and it’s such a simple, palate-cleansing dish that it was quickly added to my summer meal rotation. I figured it’s also perfect for post-holiday dinners: it’s citrusy, cold, and refreshing. This salad […]
I made this dish a lot in the summer, sans harissa. Inspired by an Ottolenghi recipe, it’s always a hit. It’s quick and requires very little prep and just a handful of ingredients. I’ve already talked about my love for hosting dinner parties and this […]
These Peach Pork Chops are so quick and easy to make, perfect for a cozy date night. Pork has an affinity for sweet sauces, so fruit-based sauces like this one complement it really well. Canned peaches are easily available all year round, which makes this […]
Fall is just the perfect excuse to make an absurd amount of soup and eat all week long. I usually go for hearty soups and stews, but I love the simplicity of a roasted tomato soup. I don’t like using canned tomatoes; roasting fresh ones […]
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 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 […]
