Sausage & Goat Cheese Meatball Sandwiches

I recently had a “meatball sandwich” from an establishment that shall remain nameless. My friend got one too, and we were both a little confused when our sandwiches came out with lettuce, tomato, and onion on them. What?? Is this a Bay Area thing? This has happened to…

Baked Potato with Sautéed Arugula

You know that point when you’re about to go out of town and trying to whittle down the produce in the house? And then you end up with a potato and a handful of arugula and think, well I guess I’ll try to make a meal out of…

Chicken in Pink Peppercorn Tomato Sauce

I know that braising isn’t exactly what comes to mind at the start of summer, but hear me out. This isn’t one of those cold weather, giant hunk of meat cooking all afternoon kinds of braises. Nor is it loaded down with heavy flavors. If a summery braise…

Pickled Vegetables

This has been an adventurous week over here. I crossed two, yes TWO, things off my cooking bucket list! Whoa – big things! On Wednesday I cleaned and prepared mussels for the first time. This one I’m almost ashamed to admit. For the amount of mussels I’ve consumed…

Chickpea Cakes with Spicy Herb Sauce (Gluten-Free)

Alright Patrice (my dearest gluten-intolerant friend), next time you ask me to make hummus or something with bacon, I’m making you these instead! Well, I might also make something with bacon. We can always use some bacon. Anyway, about these cakes. They’re sort of like hummus in that…

Pan Seared Cod with Rainbow Chard

I have some partially completed projects floating around right now: An advertisement that’s finished in my mind, but not on my computer screen. A pile of merely thumbed through magazines sitting next to the new ones that won’t stop arriving. A stack of manuals for a new camera that…

Mexican Breakfast Hash

Well this week was… eventful. Or not, depending on how you look at it. I started it off by pulling a muscle in my back, spent the next few days mostly in bed, then topped it all off with a couple of cooking misadventures. Nothing is more discouraging…

Shepherd’s Pie

My calendar just informed me that it’s March. Apparently this has been the case for a few days now. It also informed me that there’s this holiday coming up where we all pretend to be Irish for a day, so I guess my recent craving for shepherd’s pie…

Mom’s Lemony Caesar Salad

Oh, hello again! That brief recess in posting was brought to you by my best friend – Patrice! She came to visit for 5 magnificently lazy days filled with gluttony, bad TV, even worse movies, and some short-lived adventuring in and around Mountain View. We even made up…

Roasted Carrot & Parsnip Soup with Lemon Ginger Cream

Are you noticing a pattern yet? I love soup. And I saw a cloud in the sky yesterday for the first time in about a week, so I made some. This has to be my favorite soup genre. The “chop stuff up, roast it and blend it with…
