I have to give it to the French, they really know how to make something as simple as bread and butter taste so chic. This sardine spread, oh excuse me, rillettes de sardines can be prepared in less than 10 minutes and it’s less than […]

One-Pot Balsamic Chicken
For those who own nothing but a meager skillet and not much of their own time, a one-pot meal is much needed. Preferably one that doesn’t include an ingredient list with double digits. I like recommending this one, but some people don’t have an oven, […]
Lemon Asparagus Pasta
I’m spending my summer in Germany, where asparagus season is celebrated with a passion. It even has its own name: Spargelzeit (asparagus time. Germans love being literal. Look up the German word for gloves and you’ll know what I’m talking about). Asparagus time is a […]
Easy Brothy Beans
Sometimes when I’m feeling lazy or sad, the last thing I want to do is cook a meal. But the inconvenient part about being human is that you need feed your body in order to keep on living. Of course there are many options that […]
Pasta Alla (no) Vodka
This pasta alla (no) vodka is pasta alla vodka’s responsible cousin. It abstains from drinking, but will indulge in carbs. And here’s a tip if you want to elevate a simple pasta dish: add burrata. It’s a decent amount of protein, which is always a […]
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 […]
Date-Lemon Cucumber, Feta and Melon Salad
I have a tendency to overcomplicated things – in life and in the kitchen – but this Date-Lemon Cucumber, Feta and Melon Salad is quite the antithesis of that. Oftentimes salad recipes are just a list of ingredients and then you get to adjust the […]
Grilled Salmon with Green Olive Salsa
I’ve been playing hooky with this blog, not that anyone bothers to read this half of the post anyway, but regardless, I think I should hold myself accountable and take responsibility for that. Phew, that makes me feel better! Don’t you just love when people […]
Pan Seared Salmon with Broccoli Slaw
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 […]
Cucumber Sandwich with Green Mayo
Cucumber sandwiches never sounded particularly interesting to me. When I think of a sandwich, I think of a hearty meal disguised as a snack and I tend to fill it with chunky fillings. I mean, give me protein and carbs and veggies, the whole works. […]
Easy Tuna Salad
This Easy Tuna Salad is my go-to recipe for a quick, filling lunch of snack. An original Hailee recipe – I love her content – I saw it on tiktok a while ago and knew I had to try it. There’s no mayo, but it’s […]
Sun-Dried Tomato Grilled Cheese
If you’ve never been to Tate Bakery, make sure to add it to your list next time you’re in the Boston area. It’s one of my favorite bakeries in the world. The locations are gorgeous and the carefully curated menu is full of fresh, impeccable […]
Celery, Fennel and Apple Salad
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 […]
