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…
When I’m looking at recipes, I oscillate between “fast but moderately impressive” and “long and slow”. This recipe is a wonderful combination of both worlds. Yes, it takes 3 hours in the oven …. but it only takes like 15 minutes of hands-on time. A real winner in my book. I made this on a…
My dad loves french onion soup. He’s absolutely an onion guy. I am absolutely not an onion girl. I think it combines two of his favorite things: onions and cheese. So when I was in the kitchen and making this soup for my grandfather… and he asked me if I was making french onion soup….…
I’m on day two of “snowstorm diet” which pretty much means “eat whatever I want” kind of but cook all the time. For lunch I had zucchini latkes over arugula. For dinner, we had prosciutto pizza with an arugula feta salad and tumeric sweet potatoes. This meal can also be called “the time I got…
This recipe can be filed under “almost great, but absolutely good enough”. I’m sure that isn’t super convincing for others to try it – but I still think you should. I’ve literally been eating the leftovers for three days and I’m not upset. I found this recipe by trolling Food52 for recipes that called out…
Every now and then I’ll make a meal that is a complete knockout. THIS IS THAT MEAL. I had a feeling it was going to be good when I smelled the meatball mix. Then when the meatballs came out of the oven and I dipped one in the sauce? Home run. I was sitting on…
We are in the midst of a big run of freezing cold days. The weather man said that it was going to be the coldest stretch in 100 years or something like that. So it’s really cold. Despite the temperature, I took a few longer walks yesterday. The first one was at Bouve Conservation in…
It is probably a bit odd but I gave this soup as a Christmas gift to my grandfather. A gift should be something that you thoughtfully picked out just for that person. It should be influenced by your relationship …. and that’s how we get soup as a Christmas gift. My grandfather is incredibly strict…
Christmas morning is very much about traditions. For as long as I can remember we’ve spent it at my Aunt’s house. There are a few factors that never change: we are always late because of church and the menu. It would be weird if we didn’t have blueberry french toast and egg sausage casserole. Even…
We have a cookie contest this coming week at work and despite all my prior cooking efforts, I’ve never been in a contest before. I wasn’t sure where I stood on the contest, was I going to take it seriously and really bring my A game? or keep it casual and do the bare minimum?…
