How many posts in a row can I reference quarantine cooking? The answer is probably a lot – and probably more for the next two months or so. As we prepared to eat more out of our houses and with less trips to the grocery store, I impulse bought a couple cans of tuna fish…
I was headed to the grocery store this weekend rather casually and figured I should grab something for dinner. In an effort to prevent a lot of aisle wandering and salty snack purchases, I grabbed a sticky note to make a list. And in that minute I dreamed up this recipe for a seared fish…
I’m going to admit that I’ve slightly overdone it with the tomatoes, burrata, and pretty much pesto of any form. It is pretty much the only thing that I’ve eaten for several weeks now. The fact that I’ve tired of burrata is terrifying to me. But – this season is fleeting and I’d rather eat…
On Saturday, I casually whipped up this seared pesto-y cod dish. It was great. Well on the way home from work last night, I realized I was either having cod for dinner…. or it would end up in the trash. The benefit of buying fresh fish is that you could put it in the freezer….…
The garden has been slow going this summer. Each week I think it’s going to be the week all the tomatoes turn red… but not yet. I was able to pull out a handful of cherries, grapes, and romas but not the treasure trove I’m excited for. Meanwhile, I was texting with a girlfriend that…
I had a bunch of ladies over for dinner one night recently. I was racking my brain a bit to figure out the optimal menu for the occasion. When we go out to a restaurant, we often all end up getting burgers – but that just didn’t feel right for a fun summer girls night.…
Despite my love of grocery stores and cooking, there is something incredibly appealing about how meal delivery services package and send their meals. After getting about one million offers in the mail, I decided to try out Blue Apron recently. I was in a bit of a cooking lull and it was only $30. While…
I might have found a new favorite way to cook fish. It is so shockingly easy. I found it when I was flipping through Better Homes & Gardens magazine while eating an almond croissant and watching the tide come in. So, it was clearly a rough day. The picture on the page completed lured me…
I’m still holding on tight to any element of summer that I can grasp. Despite my wardrobe beginning to adjust, I’m holding off on switching to Fall flavors. I’m not ready for root vegetables, cranberries, and stews. I still want caprese salads. In direct correlation, I was having someone over for dinner this weekend. We…
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…
