Did you see that title?! We are so getting our farmer on. You guys, this was the very first time I made butter from scratch. To put it mildly, I was completely freaking my face off. Butter! From scratch! Have you made this before? Science is so bananas. To watch a liquid transform into a […]

Roasted Chickpea and Israeli Couscous Salad
Is it a salad? Is it a side dish? Is it your new obsession? All correct. If you’re a fan of crunchy roasted chickpeas plus the the toothy tenderness of pearl couscous, your head’s gonna straight fall off with this. Not only is it vegetarian, but the textures are throwing an illegal rave party (rave […]
Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Blue Cheese and Balsamic Vinegar
Ahhhh the unsung hero of side dishes. (don’t look at me like that.) Listen, brussels sprouts get a bad rap. I get it. Yet I don’t get it. Brussels are deeeelish, if done the right way. And the right way, my pretties (sorry), is roasting. I have many a brussels sprouts recipe on this here […]
Soupy White Beans and Mushrooms
Absolute side dish HEAVEN. I dare you to argue. Thing is, it’s mostly vegetarian. I’m saying mostly because I don’t want the world coming at me for the chicken stock. So swap in some veggie stock and you’ve got a fabulous vegetarian slurpy situation. Also look how rustic it is. It’s my entire means for […]
Roasted Cabbage with Bacon and Ranch
New favorite side dish! Don’t even try to argue. Have you ever roasted your cabbage? This was my first time (I know!) and I was floored. It’s a whole thing. A whole experience. A whole mood. And we’re doing it today so that you can be blown away too and forever altered. Let us peepeth. […]
Roasted Potatoes with Chimichurri
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. […]
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 […]
Green Bean and Fennel Salad with Parsley
First recipe of the year! And it’s a salad. Bahahahah. oh. But listen, the crunch in this thing is enough to convert anyone. It is alive, I tell you. A lot happening in here. And don’t get weird at the word fennel. We thinly slice it, so it’s not like you’re madly chomping into licorice. […]
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 […]
Broccoli and Bacon Salad
This salad sounds like an oxymoron. Right?? Ha! Never mind. It’s a classic. It really is. The only thing I didn’t a little differently was to amp up my creamy dressing a bit. A ton of lemon juice + poppy seeds + Greek yogurt. I feel like you’re really going to be into this. Don’t […]
