Like winter bruschetta! Like the WINTER PIE. But toast. I’m trying to capitalize on winter right now, can you tell? This is what I imagine for your Valentine’s Day. Besides this playlist. And these gifts. This bruschetta! It’s a snack, but make it fashion. Roasted tomatoes and onions slathered in umami, over tangy but sweet […]

Roasted Carrot Garlic Dip
It’s not quiiiiiite a hummus. I know that’s what you’re wondering. It’s not. But look at this. I mean my lands, you guys. It’s very simple, and a complete showstopper. And it’s just a dip! But all hail the dips because this one is absolutely killer. And you just may need to whip this up […]
Sage and Ricotta Puff Pastries
And the ricotta is cracked! Like, for Halloween. I planned that. I planned the . . . cracking. I knew that would happen. No, I did. But aren’t they cute? Cracking aside, you’re going to obsess over the flavor because I don’t know if you heard, but we put lemon in that ricotta and it’s […]
Cucumber, Mint and Feta Bruschetta
Oh, that rhymed! This is the thing: this topping? UNREAL. I’m calling it bruschetta because it’s on toasted baguette and it sounds super cute, but do you want to know how I ate it after a bite of the toast? Besides spooning it with a shovel into my unhinged jaw? Salad! I sprinkled it over […]
Heirloom Tomato and Gruyere Slab Pie
More gruyere! Just get into it. Listen, when it’s July, you tomato. You just do. This isn’t something to be negotiated. As of this moment, you’re officially on a mission to hunt down (Liam Neeson style) the most spectacular heirloom tomatoes you can possibly find and make your entire life about them. Because look at […]
Caprese Biscuit Tarts
Well aren’t these little guys cute? Is it a brunch item? Sure! An after-camp snack? Why not! An excuse to use one more exclamation point above the fold? Going for it! And the thing about these, besides the fact that the adorbs factor will force you to pet them and call them Frank, they’re super […]
Roasted Chickpea Salad with Radishes and Halloumi
It’s a savory mouth festapalooza, in other words. This was my very first time trying halloumi cheese, can you believe that? FIRST TIME. I dig it! It’s weird. It’s cheese that you can sear in a pan and it won’t melt. A lot like bread cheese. Which, when I was searching out the halloumi but […]
Strawberry and Almond Puff Pastry Tart with Mascarpone
I mean, you can see where this is going, right? But see, it’s not just a tart for this weekend. (but make it this weekend) It’s really an anytime tart! Tarte. Tart. Toot. I think they all work. First of all, what’s the temp going to be where you are on Sunday? Here? ONE. ONE […]
Grand Cru Biscuit Twists
They’re sort of like cheesy baguettes. But better. This is one of those last-second, easy-as-wonk appies that you can add to your Christmas snack table, breakfast platter, Christmas morning spread – or snack time right now. And can we talk about how simple they are to make? Hold on. Just look at this next photo. […]
Grilled Eggplant and Corn Salsa
Side dish party town! (and it’s Paleo. I think.) It might not be with the corn in it, actually. Okay I just looked it up and it’s definitely not Paleo. Hahahahaha. But I psychotically love corn so I’m tweaking the rules. We’ll call it another PaleNo recipe. You dig? Of course you do. While eggplant […]
