I’ll understand if you need a moment. And yes, that is a delicious summer gratin punching you square in the face right now. LOOK AT THAT. WOULD YOU LOOK AT THAT. I also might want to mention that there are only five ingredients. Which makes this all the more awesome and less of an ordeal […]

Roasted Broccoli and Snow Peas with Garden Breadcrumbs
Oh hi! This is a day late. Aaron got home Monday night and we stayed up until MIDNIGHT (like complete idiots) watching Avett Brothers videos and listening to new-to-me hip hop that he learned about on his dude’s trip. So this is a day late. But so worth it. Because everything is green and light […]
Cheesy Vegetable Gratin
I’m calling it a gratin because of the layering. And the cheese. You can call it a bake if you want! Or a gratin. Or just awesome. This is one of those side dishes that you’d probably have anyway, but not like this. And I want you to have it like this. Because this is […]
Buttermilk-Brined Cornish Game Hens with a Rustic Kale Gratin
Another Valentine’s Day meal that I’m forcing upon you! Also, these hens are upside down. I’m just getting this out of the way right here, right now. I roasted them upside down. You may now kick me out of the blogosphere and life. The embarrassing thing is, this almost happened at Thanksgiving, too! Carolyn and […]
Baked Cheesy Sweet Potato Wedges
I feel like I need to just apologize now. Because. This. Is. Everything. And your Thanksgiving table won’t even see it coming. Poor thing. And it’s only four ingredients! FOUR INGREDIENTS. Did I mention it’s only four ingredients? So this is the thing. I wanted to twist up the classic sweet potato casserole and savorify […]
Roasted Poblano, Corn and Quinoa Casserole
Vegetarian dish comin’ at ya loud and cheesy! (that was way less dorky in my head.) I’ve been dyyying to play around with corn and quinoa and cheese and my face for some time now. We actually have this little neighborhood restaurant that has a corn and quinoa casserole on the menu, and it’s PHENOMENAL. […]
Lighter, Creamy Pasta Salad
I swear it’s lighter don’t look at me like that! On top of that, it’s meeeega retro. Which come on, is the only true way to approach a classic pasta salad. Because to me, there are a few necessary components to a pasta salad that makes it even worth anything at all. Let’s discuss. Well, […]
Creamy Wild Mushrooms with Crusty Bread and Cheese
Well well WELL….. I accidentally-totally-on-purpose made this luxurious pile of creamy, cheesy, buttery, mushroomy bliss a couple of days ago for lunch, and all I could do (besides sob like a baby) was imagine hosting a fabulous ladies’ luncheon and serving this with a bucket ton of rosé and a crisp kale salad. It was […]
Roasted Carrots and Chickpeas
Side dish Thursday! It’s not a thing. Actually, it’s side dish WEEK. I gave you skillet potatoes on Tuesday, and carrots Thursday. WHAT HAPPENS ON SATURDAY! Well, nothing. Deal. Just kidding. This is a suuuuper simple recipe that goes well with anything. Roasted CHICKEN, seared STEAK, maybe some PORK. Or just on its own, if […]
Cheesy Skillet Potatoes
EASIEST. POTATO SIDE. EVER. And get this, they’re not totally scalloped. They’re just layered. With cheese and garlic and butter and cheese and cheese. So if scalloping potatoes makes you skeered, don’t! Just layer. With cheese and garlic and butter and cheese and cheese. But first, a little back story. Over Easter weekend, my sister-in-law […]
