What is it about Thanksgiving that makes us gravitate toward casseroles and gratins? From the simple classics of green beans and candied yams, to some of my new favorites like kale gratin and scalloped potatoes, if it’s creamy and comes in a 9″x13″ baking dish, it’s sure to find a home on the Thanksgiving buffet.

I have to tell you about the most delicious thing that ever happened to a pizza: burrata. And caramelized onions. Just a hint of balsamic. Swoon. This is definitely a grown up pizza. (As in, I’m not sharing a slice with Jake, because it’s soo good I want to eat it all by myself. Okay, […]
When I was a kid, my mom used to make this amazing white chili. It was a football season/New Year’s Eve tradition for us. My brother and I totally loved it, because we always ate this chili with a mountain of Cool Ranch Doritos (old school flavors are best, baby) and an avalanche of shredded […]
When my mom comes to visit, I get kind of excited. For obvious reasons! She’s the best! But also because her visits pull me out of my dinner ruts. She doesn’t eat wheat or dairy, so sometimes I have to get really creative to make meals that we can all enjoy! (We eat a lot […]
Sarah and I have been meaning to grill together for ages. Inevitably, we gather all of the ingredients and our courage to cook with charcoal, and then it pours rain. But this week we were determined, rain or shine, to grill some veggies and some flatbreads! Naturally, on the big morning, the rain clouds rolled […]
Don’t you love dinner salads? And lunch salads? And salads in general? I have been really craving some salmon salad lately. So I made some. You should, too. That is all.
I’m having a problem. Maybe I can blame this on motherhood (is mommy-brain a real thing?), or maybe old age (eek! turning 30 in 3 weeks!), maybe on the plethora of technologies ever at my fingertips… I can’t ever remember where anything is anymore. That used to be my superpower. I always knew where everything […]
A few weeks ago, a friend told me about this amazing way to eat corn on the cob. At first, I was only half listening…unlike most people, I don’t get too excited when ears of corn start to overflow from farmer’s stands or grocery store aisles. It’s just corn. But, as she told me about […]
This is just the kind of quick meal I love to throw together when I’ve been having a busy day and I want to get dinner on the table without a lot of fuss. A tostada is kind of like a taco salad that you pick up and eat with your hands. It can be […]
Over the last month or so, Jake has developed quite an obsession with the book Should I Share My Ice Cream? by Mo Willems. He carries it around the house with him. We read it at least once a day and up to four or five times in a row, if we have the patience. […]
