File this recipe under: so easy, so good. Sometimes I get lost reading old blog posts and remembering different experiences. This past weekend I stumbled upon this posting from agreat dinner at Oro and developed a rather strong urge for the prosciutto wrapped cod. Can’t be too hard right? Answer: no. not in the least.…
I’m not a quitter. I finish bad books. I eat bad meals. I never leave a bag of Tostitos alone, especially the lime ones. But gnocchi made me crazy. For three reasons. Reason One. It was one of those moments where you get too hungry, the meal isn’t ready, and your entire kitchen and half your…
I’m trying to be better about posting my recipes more timely. Especially since I still haven’t written about the miso carrot soup or the sweet potato sausage soup ….. or the cinnamon book bread from last JULY. Yep, July. But since I’m still eating the leftovers from this risotto that means it is pretty recent…
I can safely say I’ve never used a cup of salt for anything… until now. I’ve always been intrigued by home beauty treatments. I’ve been known to get excited about deep conditioning my hair and wrapping my head in saran wrap because I feel like it makes a difference. So for a while I’ve been…
I’m not sure what made me think of attempting stuffed peppers …. but I’m pretty sure the giant mound of them at the market had something to do with it. When we were growing up I remember how much I really loved the Stouffer’s Stuffed Peppers that we would dominate as a family. I’m pretty…

I think there are a few meals out there that people think are like way amazing and challenging… and they just are not. People like myself hate to break up this charade because, hey, I like to look cook when I make a simple meal that impresses. On this list? Red Velvet Cake, Roasted tomatoes….…
If you thought that when I gave up bacon for lent, I’d lead a clean healthy life …. you were majorly off base. I’ve just merely substituted bacon for chocolate and cheez-its. But not together. That just seems wrong. The candy jar in my apartment has been stripped clean of all my favorites. I started…
Sometimes, life is about patiently stirring some rice in a skillet and making risotto. Sometimes, life is about realizing that your “collection” of cotton sundresses that are totes perfect for New England are “totes not perfect” for your weekend in Miami. Blurg. That is the reality that I’m coming to at 10:30 on a Monday night. I’ve…
Hey, guess what isn’t photogenic? Cauliflower. Like for reals. Hey, guess what is totally delicious? Cauliflower. Like for reals. I’m not sure what brought this delicious wonder to my computer screen, but it looked so good and it turned out that I already had the cauliflower in my fridge. Win! I’m not sure I’ve ever…
