Oh you sweet beautiful salad. I guess not sweet because it’s kale. But sweet in the sense of victory… because it came from my garden. After watching only two Youtube videos about how to harvest kale, I felt ready to actually do it. I used to get this awesome kale salad from B. Good that…
Every so often I make something in the kitchen that delights me to no end. This gnocchi dish was absolutely that – and almost nearly by accident. I last cooked with fiddleheads in May 2013 at a phenomenal cooking class. It might have been one of the best meals ever and so much fun. Since…
I’ll admit that this doesn’t perhaps look like the most appetizing meal. But that’s my poor work-night, too hungry to care, just feed me now…. photography. I’m not alone in this sentiment. I know it. But unless the meal is an absolute g-d trainwreck, I’m going to write about it… so that I can make…
I get a lot of magazines at my house – like more than 10, maybe more than 15… and to be honest, it used to be almost 20. But one of my favorite things in the world is just to sit and read in the sun. Since I rarely pay more than $10-$15 for a…
I whipped up these scones for a casual morning breakfast with some married friends. I’m not sure how many varieties of scones I’ve made at this point but this was a new one. I had stumbled across some Instagram post from Terrain about honey scones and they just looked amazing. The scones of your dreams.…
Muffins aren’t exactly one of my favorite breakfast items – but they are pretty great. They are perfectly utilitarian for multiple flavor combinations, travel eating, and can skew from “healthy” to “not at all healthy” in a hot second. I’ll admit that I tend to lean towards bagels (or even cinnamon buns) before I grab…
I’m not sure what prompted me to make hot cross buns honestly – but I’m glad I did. Sometimes I shy away from recipes that require elements of precision or refinement. Hot cross buns are not exactly a refined baked good… but the element of individual little buns and the crosses… and the yeast. It…
I made this dinner so long ago that I barely remember what happened. All I remember is that I had some brussel sprouts and mushrooms … and while I really wanted to eat this meal again… I felt like I had to try something new. While new isn’t always better, it does mean that you’ve…
I tend to skew towards very hearty soups. I want something that feels like a meal – not something that requires a part two. Unless that part two is a grilled cheese or anything with cheese for that matter. All that being said, there is a season fast approaching that requests I not cover myself…
Oh Sunday. You tricky little beast. It was such a beautiful day out. It was one of those days where everyone is thinking about how few layers they need to wear and lusting after gardening items at the hardware store. Maybe those are both just me actually. But seriously, it was almost actually warm out.…
