Oooooookay now. Let me say, these are not overly spicy at ALL. Matter of fact, I probably could have gone for more heat, but we’ll play it safe today unless you like living on the edge. See, this is how a 48-year old woman rebels. We grate frozen jalapeno on our potatoes. Isn’t life thrilling? […]
AKA: Life’s secret loophole. For anything. But mainly side dishes. If there’s a roasted potato on any sort of table, I’m in. I surrender. I’m all yours. But then you add chimichurri to the equation? Done for. Unspeakable bliss. Obnoxiously hyperbolic and overly dramatic but honestly what else are we here for? Let us peepeth. […]
We haven’t sheet panned in a while! (<–it’s a thing.) You might be initially turned off at the way I pull this together, but I need you to trust it because I said so. (mom sayings can fit in other places too, ya know.) It’s all in one bowl. I’ll show you in a second, […]
It’s slurp time. You knew it was coming. I think actually that this is my last recipe of the year! I think. Maybe? I can’t decide just how active to be on this blog over the next two weeks. It’s giving me so much trouble lately: pages not pulling up, not being able to comment […]
Savory. Pie. Time. Remember when we polled this? Polled about this? Talked about this? Well here it is! Gruyere cheese. Thinly sliced potatoes (use a mandolin!) Aromatic leeks. Homemade pie crust. I use Alison Roman’s recipe every time and it’s perfect. Her recipe makes two crusts, so either half it or make two. (make two.) […]
Pertaters! But let’s give it style. You all know my maniacal obsession with thrifting. Estate saling, garage saling, flea marketing, swap meets, junk hunts. I love it. I love it all. Well I found this little cookbook recently at an estate sale. And I’ll tell you, from the dense weight of it (small but heavy!), […]
Okay, head up. Pencil down. Eyes right here. You ready for this? Oh, oh bay-buh. It’s a dreamy, creamy lemony spring soup with flaked salmon, tender red potatoes and sautéed aromatic leeks. Which I feel like is obvious, given that they’re in a soup. But still. You needed the imagery. This is an embarrassing cinch […]
Side Dish Sally comin’ at ya! (Who’s Sally?) I hope you’re feeling like the most simple side dish of all time today. You like sides, right? I’m into sides. Carby sides. ROASTED sides. Sides flecked with fresh herbs and spritzed with lemon. This is where we are. And they’re not just roasted potatoes, yawn. We […]
With a chimichurri! I left it out of the title because I didn’t want to get kicked out of blogdom for long title abuse. This is one of those wonder meals that takes less than ten to prep, abouuuuut forty in the oven, and .5 to your mouth hole. I’m sure we understand each other. […]
It’s so much summer food, I feel like we’ll barely be able to handle this. You’re like, ROASTED potatoes? BAKED chicken? In the SUMMER? Sure, why not? You can absolutely grill the chicken if y’awnt, but it was 99 hundred degrees outside, so I baked it. And there was never a baby ounce of regret. […]
