Beautiful. Bright. Glorious. But now let’s talk about this salad. This mess is straight up (now tell me) out of control. First of all, look at that color! Don’t you want to punch it in the shin? I don’t eat enough Israeli couscous. Truthfully, I kind of forgot about it, until I spotted it in […]

Grilled Summer Vegetable Bruschetta
Mmmmm Earth eating! (that sounded better in my head) First of all, it was McStormy-doo while I was shooting this recipe, so I opted for my phone to make things easier. So, if things seem slightly blurry, it’s definitely your eyes. Not my phone. It’s you. All you. Glad we got that out of the […]
Easiest Mexican Street Corn
This is going be so corny, you guys. OHHHHHHHH no I diiiii’int. Do you Mexican street your corn? Yes, Mexican streeting is a verb. Duh. I halfway Mexican streeted my corn over the weekend, then decided upon consumption that I must definitely full-on Mexican street my corn, and show it to you so that you […]
Black Trumpet Mushroom Puff Pastries
I’d like to clarify that what you are about to see is not from an episode of the X-Files, but in fact actual food. Would you just look at that?! It’s mega creepy, isn’t it? I can’t tell you how dangerously yummy it is. Even if it looks like tarantulas baked on some puff pastries. […]
Lentil, Kale and White Bean Salad
FAVORITE NEW LUNCH. Sorry to scream. So this sucks. (not the salad, but what I’m about to tell you.) A week before Labor Day I somehow hurt my ankle while running. I’m not sure when the exact moment was, because I don’t remember anything specifically happening during my run, like a snap, a crackle, or […]
Lemon Garlic Broccoli with Bacon – Inspiralized!
Broccoli NOODLES. Have you ever heard of such a thing!? No. No, you haven’t. My life has been forever changed with this brilliant invention. It’s called the Inspiralizer, and it turns baaaasically everything into NOODLES. NOODLES! I feel an all caps moment is appropriate here. My awesome friend Ali Maffucci discovered this lil’ machine only […]
Roasted Broccoli Pesto on Pumpernickel. And A BABY!
It’s baby time! Not mine. For the love of all the infant ponies that drink the morning dew, not mine. But it’s baby time forrrrr the irresistibly charming Catherine of Weelicious! Kind of makes you sick really. It’s her third tot. She’s in flawless shape. Hair that shines like the sun. Skin that glows like […]
Cheesy Twice-Baked Potatoes with a Scallion Pesto
It’s Side Dish Day! Not really, I just made that up. But let’s just pretend. It’s Side Dish Day! What a great day. I have to say, huge meals like on Thanksgiving, Christmas, where there’s a gigantic chunk of meat and then a bunch of yummy side dishes, I totally go for the sides. No […]
Sautéed Potatoes and Leeks with Bacon and Parmesan
It’s Friday story time! Oh don’t act like this is the worst thing that’s ever happened to your life. So a few weeks ago I was beboppin’ around on the netz, when all of the sudden I got an email from an old friend whom I’ve known for about 8 years I think. Did I […]
Lentil Salad with Roasted Red Peppers, Parsley and Almonds
The effect it had on me . . . It was like, my mind went completely numb. My throat closed in. My racing heart came to an abrupt halt, and then forgot how to beat for a good 20 seconds. My eyes froze, cried a tiny river, and then found their new happy place. My […]
