If you’ve been hanging out here for a while, then you already know how dearly I love Sarah of Well Dined. She is one of my favorite people on the planet! Sarah has been unspeakably kind and generous to me in the seven years (!) we’ve known each other. She is thoughtful, thought-provoking, and hilarious. […]
Beet Hummus
Last week, I made these amazing beet burgers. Beets are lovely, aren’t they? I think beets are the most beautiful color in the whole world. But…I have to admit that I really hate to eat them plain. I’ve tried them in salads with goat cheese and soaked in butter and horseradish sauce. But my favorite […]
This week, Sarah and I were feeling super laid back. We started our lunch planning at noon on the day of. (Just for context, we typically start cooking around 11.) Our conversation went something like this: Sarah: I just woke up. (cut to me, crumbling inside with jealousy) Me: I have a headache. Let’s make something […]
It’s no secret that I love foodie burgers. I’m not the kind of girl who longs after the simplicity of mayo and relish. The fact that I don’t eat meat has definitely exacerbated this situation. Now, in addition to the fancy sauces and unique toppings, I crave interesting and colorful patties. Like this one, made from […]
Remember how I hatched a plot to eat greens at every meal? Yeah…desserts kind of got in the way of that healthy plan. But you know, Rome wasn’t built in a day, and I am still trying to focus on the greenery as much as possible! So this month for the Secret Recipe Club challenge, […]
Have I mentioned my obsession with open-face sandwiches? This broccolini melt is so amazing on so many levels. Not only is it full of bright green goodness, for which your body thanks you, but it is savory and cheesy and garlicky and a little lemony…in short, it is delicious. All delis should throw out their […]
It may surprise you to learn that I don’t actually eat a lot of vegetables. I can go entire days without a vegetable, if you don’t count the tomato sauce in pizza. The problem obviously isn’t that I don’t like vegetables…I love them! The real problem is that I am busy and tired, and preparing […]
Chana Masala
I adore Indian food. I love the spices and the warmth. I love that Indian food is packed with things that are good for my body, and that it doesn’t taste like “health food.” Indian food is fantastic. But I’ve got to admit that I don’t cook Indian food at home very often. True, I love going […]
I’m not exactly sure how this happened, but I have become a little obsessed with tuna salad. Tuna salad is one of those polarizing foods: you either love it or you hate it, and there isn’t much of anything in between. In fact, I bet half of you have already wrinkled your noses in disgust. […]
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.
