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 […]

Creamy Penne Pasta with Spinach and Sundried Tomatoes
Hiyaaaaaa, a new weeknight fave. (not fav) Remember I mentioned that I would be bringing in more few-ingredient dinners for your busy fall? I feel like I said that to you. Didn’t I? Crud, maybe I didn’t. Maybe I said it in my head but forgot to vocalize via fingertips in here. WAIT, I DID. […]
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 […]
Creamy Orecchiette with Corn and Basil
Another creamy pasta for you! Sorry? You’re welcome? Oh no? Yay? You pick. This one has CORN in it. BASIL in it. RED ONION in it. So there are multiple avenues of excitement to peruse today. And the cream – you can go full heavy whipping, you can go half and half, you can go […]
Asian Cucumber Salad
I’ve been wanting to make something like this for the blog FOREVUUUUUR. (Sandlot style) Well, pigeons, today’s the day. You see this type of crunchy cucumber salad all over the place. Can it be called a salad even? Sure. We’re doing it. It’s embarrassingly easy and you’ll need to peruse the pantry to throw this […]
Homemade Wild Onion Oil
Chances are, you probably have wild onion in your yard. Like, onion grass. Wild onion. Green onion. Know what I mean, Vern? And if you don’t, you’re still a good person. You can get some wild onion (or even chives!) at the farmer’s market and rock on with your bad self. A) I haven’t said […]
Pappardelle with Veggies and Herbs
Vegetarian! And one pan, baybuh. Okay I say vegetarian. It is if you sub in veggie stock for chicken stock. So no coming at me today, okay? This is really a tweak-your-own kind of situation. We have pasta, we have vegetables, we have aromatics, we have stock and cheese and garnishes. If I say “we […]
Rice and Bean Enchiladas
Now thiiiiiis I’d totally call a throw-together meal. Totally. Totes. (<-ew) I just realized no one says “totes” anymore. How terrific is that? Okay, this is completely vegetarian, so if you’d like to slip in some chicken or steak, absolutely fine. But as is like this, is magic in itself. Also I should tell that […]
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. […]
Potato, Leek and Gruyere Pie
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.) […]
