Pasta Primavera
Lately, all I want for dinner is carbs (and cheese). This is not really a new thing. I am a lover of carbohydrates— a “carbivore,” if you will. And while …
Mediterranean Chicken
I’m having a love affair with olives. Creamy castelvetrano olives, garlicky marinated olives, Lebanese style olives with shreds of preserved lemon… lately I just can’t get enough. So when thinking …
Pappardelle with Meat Sauce
When it comes to pasta vs. sauce (yes, sometimes they compete), I always tend to favor the noodle. I go light on the sauce, heavy on the cheese, preferring to …
Cookbook Club: Ottolenghi Simple & Roasted Whole Cauliflower with Green Tahini Sauce
Mezze might just be my favorite way to eat. Lots of small dishes full of different flavors— some hot, some cold— served together as a meal. This is up my …
Cookbook Club: Nothing Fancy & Sticky Chili Chicken with Hot-and-Sour Pineapple
It’s no secret that I love to entertain, and Nothing Fancy by Alison Roman might just be my favorite cookbook for dinner party inspiration. Subtitled, “Unfussy Food for Having People …

Curried Chicken Salad
I don’t know how it works in your house, but in my house, weekend eating is a thing. It’s definitely, obviously, joyously different from mid-week eating. You might be asking, …
Smashed Avocado Toast
Happy Saturday, friends! Welcome to the weekend.
Weekends are wonderful for many reasons. Personally, I abandon any attempt at a diet in favor of all of the cheese, and let …
Chilled Soba Noodles

Thai Style Jicama Wraps
Lunch is becoming a thing around here.
Let me start by saying I LOVE lunch. I do not love “lunch breaks” or inhaling a salad at a desk or in …
Black Bean Soup

Spaghettini with Tomatoes Confit
Hello, friends! Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Ours was mellow but with a giant menu that kind of spanned the entire weekend. Should you have experienced something similar, you …
