Sometimes I am reminded what a picky eater I am. Don’t get me wrong, I have come a long way from my childhood. There was a time when the only things I was willing to eat were cottage cheese and Cheerios (not together). There was a time when the mere sight of a mushroom made […]
Oh, pizza topped with asparagus, where have you been all my life? I am so happy that we had a cool spring and the asparagus season lasted a little longer! When my CSA box arrived with a tidy bundle of green and purple spears, I almost danced with joy. This pizza is seriously delicious. It […]
A few days ago, Jake and I wandered outside to drop a few things into the mailbox. My neighbor immediately came rushing over with an armful of mint, freshly snipped from her garden. (And before I made it back inside, I was also gifted a huge handful of oregano and sage! Yay for neighbors who […]
Oh my. Quick! Go buy some farro! You have to make this meal immediately. It’s full of springy goodness. Green peas and split peas, roasted scallions, and spring greens. Plus goat cheese! You can never go wrong with goat cheese.
Attention, all mothers of babies and toddlers! I have found you the perfect meal delivery vehicle. That’s right, the pita pocket! You can hold it in one hand, it won’t fall apart when you put it down (plus it’s easy to pick back up again!), AND nothing will fall or drip out of the bottom […]

At last, at last! Asparagus is in season! Do you know how wonderful spring is to me? Don’t get me wrong…I have a somewhat masochistic enjoyment of the gloomy gray end of winter. But I am so excited to welcome back the most wonderful of all vegetables: asparagus. (Side note: Did you know that Germans […]
It’s Friday! Let’s make fish. Okay, so I admit that tartar sauce is not terribly sexy (the name alone is a little lip-curling). And this is not a fresh, new way to present fish. I wish I could tell you that I had a modern take on it, or that I’d found a way to […]
One of the unexpected perks of being a stay-at-home mom is getting to have near-weekly lunches with my foodie friend Sarah of Well Dined!
