I am 100% over eating caprese salads with burrata. I go real hard on them in July and August… so when tomato season really kicks into gear I’m just tired. Unfortunately, I made the mistake of buying more burrata at Trader Joe’s one day. I was feeling ambitious and also like “I still have so…
I will continue to stand by the principle that I only make things I wouldn’t mind eating for several days. That will be the case 1000% with this pasta salad. Turns out I didn’t need to double it… one batch would have been just fine. Thankfully, this super easy pasta salad is light enough that…
I believe this dinner falls perfectly into the Sunday Dinner category. I was in the market for a multi-step meal to spend a little extra time on. While this is definitely multi-step it is quite straightforward. The most challenging part was finding semolina flour. I have been consciously trying to eat more vegetables and less…
I am by no means striving to be a vegetarian. But, i guess this qualifies as a vegetarian meal – and i didn’t hate it. i actually liked it. On Sunday morning I was getting ready to make my grocery store list for the week. I popped over to Food52 to see if there was…
Well, I finally got around to trying the vegetable that everyone and their mother has tried …. spaghetti squash. I was skeptical about something that everyone loves so much – but just like avocado toast, they were right. Spaghetti squash is better than decent. It’s pretty solid. I actually picked this miracle squash several weeks…
I’m going to be honest. Out of all the things I made for our 3rd of July party, I was the least interested in this one. Like, when I was listing out the different items I would always close it with “oh… and a caprese orzo salad”. I figured it was the dish that even…
So funny story. I found this recipe for a pasta sauce over the weekend – and was instantly drawn to it for two reasons. One? Ina Garten was called out in the title. Two? I thought it took 11 hours to make. I literally was planning my day around making this 11 hour sauce. I…
One of my favorite things to do is competitively use as many ingredients in my cabinets as possible. This lasagna is the epitome of that. The only thing that I had to buy was the ricotta. In hindsight, maybe not as much of a win that I now have to clean this pan… but still.…
Despite being January, there has been essentially zero snow in Boston this year. By this time last year I had gone cross-country skiing at least 3 times. This year = zero. But tonight… it is snowing … even if just for a few hours. Whenever it snows, you should almost always eat baked cheese and…
I’ve been wanting to make raviolis for quite a long time. I first attempted them back in 2010 from scratch… without pretty much any kitchen equipment. It didn’t go terribly but it also wasn’t a raging success. Ever since then, the closest I’ve gotten to fresh pasta was making gnocchi. Given that I haven’t acquired…
