OMG. First, this is a journey for me. Much like Mary Oliver, pie crusts and my ever-growing brass mirror collection. A journey. (don’t look at me like that, Mindy.) Which means, I’ve not mastered it. But I had to document where I landed this week because still, STILL, it was unbelievably flooring. My ricotta (which […]
I’m not going to bore you to death over my love for tomatoes (the perfect food!), but just look at this. Summer is coming, and while I’m forever a die-hard lover of fresh tomatoes marinated in oil with garlic and basil and red onion (how can you not make your entire life about that), this […]
I normally don’t do trends. But a BREAD DIPPING OIL? Twist my everything. These are popular right now. Maybe they’ve always been popular? Think: every Italian restaurant chain in the ’90s. IN. So we’re going to make one. And honestly, these are highly tweakable, adaptable, customizable, all the -ables you can muster up. We basically […]
How ’bout a lil’ nibble nibble? (<–sorry for that entire thing just now.) I’m always into little puff pastry bites. The way it flakes up in your mouth is illegally perfect. And then you add sweet caramelized onions and a pungent gorgonzola cheese and another sweet fig jam to it. Are you kidding? I’m not. […]
New obsession if you don’t mind me saying. Everyone loves a baked brie. Name someone who doesn’t lose their sh*t over a baked brie. (We’re leaving Aaron out of this situation.) Ya can’t! We’re into baked bries. Some are wrapped in puff pastry, others are baked as is and get draped with various sweet or […]
Who here needs some sinfully roasted tomatoes on their Everything bagels right now? Me? You? All of us? Correct. I’m not sure if this is a breakfast. Or a snack. Or an emotional emergency but it is severely delicious so I feel like you’ll need to wrap your head around it. Ready? Let us peepeth. […]
You might need to sit down for this one. Because yes, we are looking, square in the eye, at a whipped citrus feta dip with HERBED focaccia. Because who doesn’t need another dip in their lives? It truly takes a moment to whip up (ha), and the little fresh embellishments are where it’s AT. Also […]
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 […]
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 […]
If you take anything from this entire blog post, it’s that you should make this recipe. Ha! Oh. But REALLY really, it’s all about the spread. We do not mess around with happiness here, and this is so stellar you’ll want to punch something. Mayo, horseradish, finely chopped scallions, capers, a dash of hot sauce, […]
