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 […]

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 […]
Radishes with Pesto Butter
Veeeeeeery simple summer side dish comin’ at ya today. (<–not sure how I felt about “comin’ at ya.”) First of all, if you’ve never just casually snacked on radishes, what is your life? Crunchy, peppery, pungently satisfying. They’re like little mouth bombs of pleasure. AND THEN WE ADD IN PESTO BUTTER. We’re gonna need to […]
Summer Corn and Cucumber Salad with Fresh Herbs
Introducing::: My Summer Side Dish Series! (<–should I go ahead and add three more exclamation points? No? Oh.) I’m excited for this series as it’s all going to be EX-TRE-ME-LY easy for you all summer. Vibrant side dishes that work for any occasion, including spoon feeding yourself in a locked bathroom in the dark. Hey, […]
Crispy Chicken with Asparagus and Israeli Couscous
Crispy plus tender plus vibrant plus fresh. This is our game today. I love this dinner. It’s quite simple even though there looks to be a lot happening here. Thing about it is that you can take bits and pieces from this recipe, twist it up and out, and make different dinners out of it. […]
Penne with Arugula, Asparagus and Italian Sausage
Otherwise known as Kitchen Sink Pasta! If you’re into it. I call it that because there was this one Friday afternoon when I desperately needed to clean out the fridge and eat everything in it before I screamed. And shopped. Screamed and shopped. And as I perused the contents I found everything I needed to […]
Pasta with Roasted Delicata Squash and Arugula
Let’s call this a salad in a trench coat. Or pasta. Either way. But it’s roasted garlicky delicata squash with loads of peppery arugula and the brilliant zing of lemon. So right, basically a salad. In a trench coat. See how we do this? Let us peepeth. Six ingredients! I do feel an exclamation point […]
Roasted Carrot Garlic Dip
It’s not quiiiiiite a hummus. I know that’s what you’re wondering. It’s not. But look at this. I mean my lands, you guys. It’s very simple, and a complete showstopper. And it’s just a dip! But all hail the dips because this one is absolutely killer. And you just may need to whip this up […]
Zucchini Sauté with Israeli Couscous, Feta and Tomatoes
Why yes, another end-of-summer side dish! If you dare. And what’s even better is that I have a story to go with it. You’re like, “please no.” So my bestie Laura was in town last weekend for my birthday, and we hit up a cute little indie bakery in the neighborhood for lunch. We ordered […]
Summer Vegetable Bake
But it’s crunchy! A crunchy summer vegetable bake. And it’s great. This is the thing, it’s not really a gratin. Once I put the zucch and the squash next to the tomatoes, they were such different sizes that instead of having a stroke, I decided we’d slice them into sticks this time. Sticks, I tell […]
