How about the most gloriously simple summer appetizer of all time? Also, it’s cheese. If you’ve never had burrata, this is going to so killer for you. A brand new life opportunity. It’s a mozzarella, right? But you slice into it like a twin c-section (sorry, memories) and out oozes the creamiest cream you’ll ever […]

Seared Zucchini with Pine Nuts and Mint
Another summer side dish in our Summer Side Dish Series this summer of side dishes! (I can chill.) Took a brief hiatus last week for a little vacation (isn’t it obnoxious when people remind of you how you’re suppose to miss them?) but we’re back today, bruh! And I messed up this recipe. BECAUSE I […]
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 […]
Farro Salad with Cucumbers, Shallots and Mint
Summer salad city right here! But with guts. This originally started out in my head as a barley salad. Not a barely salad, but a barley salad. But the store barely had barley, so I found farro, and what followed was ferociously fabulous! I can chill. This though. What I imagine for your life is […]
Quick Soba Noodle Salad
As in, QUICK quick. The quickest. Blink your eyes and boomsy. Done. Well I mean, it takes as long as it takes to jammy boil an egg. Which for me is like, a five minute egg. Plus the time it takes for the water to simmer. So ten? Ten-ish? Around nine? Something like eleven or […]
Maple Braised Pork with Apples and Israeli Couscous
Look at me, coming at you with something completely different today! We’ll be fine. Sometimes I forget about pork tenderloin. Don’t tell it I said that. It’s just one of those proteins that lives in the back corner drawer of my cerebrum with quinoa and liquid smoke. (does one ever use liquid smoke? I’m still […]
Mediterranean Turkey Lettuce Wraps
You’ve been craving lettuce wraps lately, haven’t you? I knew it! But not anything boring, noooo. You want something with a lot of crunch, a hint of sweet, a bit of zing and a kiss of tang. And then we should talk about these lettuce wraps. (BA DOMP.) I’ve been dying to show you these […]
Grilled Asparagus Salad with Peas and Mint
And avocado and feta and garlic and lemon! But you know that title would have sent me straight to BLOG PRISON. You guys remember this grilled summer deliciousness from Oregon? Yeah, finally getting around to posting it. Man, blog prison must have its front door open. I think the guard is even waving at me. […]
Summer Steak Salad
Also known as, probably definitely my favorite food in summer life. And I didn’t even grill anything! #humidityofdeath #mosquitoesofdeath #sissy But GUYS. Steak salad in the summer is some serious summer living in the summertime. Summersummersummer. Let’s break this down. OKAY, before you start waggin’ that index at me, yes the corn is frozen. Because […]
Chinese Pork Tacos
Taco Thursday! Just go with me. This recipe is actually a riff of another pork dish on my site, except for some reason I called that one Thai Pork Salad. And I’m calling this one CHINESE Pork Tacos. Things that make you go hmmmmm. I’m actually calling these Chinese Pork Tacos because of the Chinese […]
