I love food. I especially love good food…stuffed inside of other good food! (No. I am NOT talking about a tur-duck-en. Gross.) These stuffed peppers are tangy and spiced (not spicy, but full of bold flavors). I used tri-color quinoa, mixed in with corn, black beans, a small chili pepper, and cilantro. I love that […]
Corn! Corn! It’s here! And lo and behold, I also got a poblano in my box this week (along with several ears of corn, a watermelon, potatoes, grapes, several beautiful tomatoes, and a cucumber). It was a perfect storm of amazing, because I have been waiting to share this pizza recipe with you all summer. […]
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 […]
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! Often when we get together, we view it as an opportunity to make something complicated (I think we like to show off for each other), or something our husbands would never […]

What Superbowl party would be complete without some chips and salsa? And boy, do I have a doozy for you. Backstory. This salsa came into my life when I was a weird 9th grader, struggling through Algebra 2 with possibly the greatest math teacher ever: Mr. Rothman. It’s not that I actually remember any algebra […]
The first time I ever tried a crackle cookie was seriously disappointing. It was kind of flavorless and much too stiff, and every time I tried to take a bite my face and lungs got covered in a fine layer of confectioner’s sugar. After that experience, I basically decided I didn’t like crackle cookies at […]
How do I love Fall squash? Let me count the ways… Or rather, let me show you! Quick, go find the two most beautiful acorn squash in your grocery store and meet me back here! I promise you will love this combination of sweet squash and tangy, garlicky, ever so slightly spicy vinaigrette.
Oh no! The summer is ending! I just realized that I am doomed to a life without tomatoes, summer squash, and sweet corn for like…9 months… To celebrate the last of summer’s bounty, I bring you some yummy vegetarian tacos. I love tacos, and homemade Mexican food in general, because all of the condiments are […]
