Mind, prepare to be blown: Stir Friday. Yes…it’s the solution to my weekly pleadings with my family to name something other than pizza (Jake) or meatloaf (Dave) when I ask what to cook for dinner. Stir Friday. I love it for so many reasons: 1) it still allows room for creativity, because “stir-fry” is a […]
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, […]
As you may be aware, my husband and I have radically different food tastes. If he could eat whatever he wanted for the rest of his life, he would be staring down a long succession of barbecues, charcuterie, spicy chicken wings, corned beef and cabbage, anything that goes well with rice (basically all Asian cuisines, […]
Recently, I had quite a shock: apparently, my husband likes kale. What?! When did this happen, and how did I not know about it? In other news…this pizza is delicious (and healthy, to boot)! Since there is no sauce, it is a breeze to put together. I love how the kale crisps up in the […]
Have I mentioned to you that my brother is working in Africa for the summer? This has nothing whatsoever to do with gribiche or purple potatoes, except that in his absence, his excellent girlfriend decided to get to know the family better (!). So last week, she came armed with books to read to Jake […]
It’s finally warm and beautiful outside! The sun is shining, the flowers are blooming, and you know what that means: eating outside! This time of year I am always on the lookout for different ways to make a veggie burger. This sweet potato version is a doozy: sweet and spicy and starchy all in one! […]
It’s Pi Day again! But this year, I thought I would do something a little unusual and make a savory pie. (Let’s face it: I do not need another reason to eat dessert at this stage in my pregnancy.) Shepherd’s pie is a classic ground meat dish. It’s as meat and potatoes as you can […]
It’s a snow day, so you know what’s on the menu at my house: grilled cheese and tomato soup. It’s the perfect comfort food! I have so many memories of eating this meal as a child, especially after traipsing around in the snow on a winter day. My mother would stand at the stove and […]
This chili is stupendous. It really is. And I absolutely love that it’s basically a complete meal in a bowl! It’s got whole grains, protein, veggies, flavor for miles… I’m not going to go on and on about it, because you should really just grab some pots and spoons and make it!
As a vegetarian, I often miss out on foods that other people rave about. Sometimes there is an easy substitution, like a delicious veggie burger. But sometimes, as with pot pies, I more often find that vegetarian versions are disappointing or weird than satisfying and comforting. No doubt, to turn a meaty classic into a […]
