Roasted Grape Panzanella Salad
Do you ever find yourself thinking, “Oh yeah! I forgot how much I love (insert random thing here)!” I do this quite often. It could be the random article of clothing that got stuffed in the back of the closet, a book I read halfway through before getting distracted… It happens. But for me it […]
Spicy Coconut Lime Popsicles
^^^Look you guys!^^^ I finally got a popsicle mold! It’s very exciting stuff, not to mention the best $20 I ever spent. I’ve already made 4 batches of popsicles, and it just showed up on my doorstep a week or so ago. I can’t stop! In fact I currently have a pop in one hand […]
Shaved Fennel and Melon Salad
If you live in most parts of the Northern Hemisphere, this is probably just what you need right now. A light and refreshing salad with fresh herbs and a jalapeño kick! Right?? Unless, like me, you live in San Francisco… In which case we can totally enjoy all the benefits of this salad next month […]
Apricot Balsamic Glazed Pork Tenderloin
Oh, the things you can cook in 30 minutes. Life-savers, right? Well, I’m guessing that pork tenderloin doesn’t immediately come to mind for a quick dinner. It totally should! Just think of it. In less time than you would spend waiting for pizza delivery, you can make a beautifully glazed, dinner-party-worthy pork tenderloin. Thats pretty […]
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 this… It could just be me. Other […]
Ginger Blood Orange Cocktail
I have a thing for ginger beer. I usually use it in cocktails (see here), and in fairly large quantities. But for this cocktail right hurr, I prefer just a splash. There is some delicious citrus action going on, and it would be a shame to hide it. Now, I feel I should warn you: this cocktail […]
Cranberry Ginger Relish
Oh, heeeeeeyyyyyyyyyy guys! So I haven’t touched this blog of mine in over a month, AND I’m bringing you cranberry relish after Thanksgiving. I’m super on top of things. No worries. During that month I packed up all of our crap, moved to a new city (again), unpacked said crap, hosted Thanksgiving, and then galavanted […]
Roasted Butternut Squash Salad
Even though it was 80-some-odd degrees outside when I made this salad, I can safely say that I am now fully and officially into fall. My tea supply has been restocked. I got a new pair of fuzzy pajama pants. I’ve got my stack of Thanksgiving themed magazines piled up on my nightstand. Did I […]
Cheesy Lemon Thyme Popcorn
Oh popcorn. What a long and tumultuous relationship we’ve had. There was, of course, the early childhood stage: occasionally that unmistakable smell and sound of kernels popping on the stove would fill the house and I knew a special treat was on the horizon. Then there was the teenage stage. I was responsible for more […]
Mussels in White Wine
On Wednesday we celebrated what would’ve been the 100th birthday of one of my biggest inspirations in both food and life: Julia Child! As a kid, I’d watch her shows less for the cooking instruction – as I was still in the Easy Bake Oven stage – but just because I found her fascinating and […]
