Obscenely simple dinner alert! Get excited. When I say we barely do anything, I mean . . . we barely do anything. There’s some dicing. That’s about it. The rest is a nestle/sprinkle/bake situation that will have you teary by the end of this post. And listen, I made the crusty bread because I’m working […]

Feta Dip with Tomatoes and Herbs
The feta dip! AKA: the rest of your summer. Pardon me if I’m completely unhinged in this post, because I don’t think I realized just how insane this is. I don’t think you do either. A no-cook situation (besides toasted baguette but even that is optional when it comes down to it), and all the […]
Risotto with Tomatoes, Ham and Arugula
This gets real. This gets very real. Next time you see thick cubed ham in a vacuum-packed thingy, get it. It’s right next to the Canadian bacon. Because we’re about to make the hardiest risotto ya ever did know. But also we’re sliding in velvety arugula so it’s basically vegan! Just kidding. Don’t come at […]
Skillet Orzo with Tomatoes, Chicken and Olives
Oh hellooooo, fall. I see you. This is what happens when you take chicken tenders, cut them up, sear them with olives and red wine and crushed tomatoes and ORZO. A heavy hand of parmesan and freshly chopped parsley to garnish, plus a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil? Stop. Stop it. It’s quite divine, I […]
Roasted Chickpea Salad
Another summer side dish! In the series. The Summer Side Dish Series. Ya know? Ya know. Also, these chickpeas are roasted. Not like, aggressively. Just enough to give it a lil’ crrrrrrrnch. Just like that. No vowels. It also has cucumbers (more crunch!), tomatoes, red onion (crunch crunch!) and some vibrant herbs that will send […]
Cheesy Tomato and Crab Biscuit Cups
More tomato biscuits! But this time they’re not scones. They’re cups. Cuppies. Cups. We’ll say cups. And they have crab in them. Imitation! Look, your reaction to the lobster lettuce cups made it clear to me that we all seem to be on this side of snooty booty camp, so we’re having some more, man. […]
Caprese Scones
AS IN, cheesy tomato summer biscuits. Like, look at that cheese. These are going to ruin you so good, so pony up, pigeons. We’re making basic scones, but adding an obscenely vibrant caprese twist that will have your heads falling off. La-heeeeeeet us peepeth. I know it looks like a lot (it might not look […]
Skillet Shellbows with Shallots, Peas and Tomatoes
A deliciously simple skillet supper that bridges the gap between light and bright, and the ultimate in comfort. Plus would you just look at those adorable shellbows right now? I love this recipe for one main reason. Two reasons. A few reasons. A whole dang slew of reasons. First of all, it’s (mostly) vegetarian! I […]
Wine-Braised Sea Bass with Tomatoes and Squash
She fancy. (not) But it looks and sounds fancy, so we’re going with it! Also, it’s painfully simple. WEEKNIGHT simple. Less-than-30 simple. Have I convinced you yet? Maybe if I show you a photo of me picking cherry tomatoes out of our garden. Will that do it? Let’s see. Hold on. Here it is. Eh? […]
Zucchini Sauté with Israeli Couscous, Feta and Tomatoes
Why yes, another end-of-summer side dish! If you dare. And what’s even better is that I have a story to go with it. You’re like, “please no.” So my bestie Laura was in town last weekend for my birthday, and we hit up a cute little indie bakery in the neighborhood for lunch. We ordered […]
