Second official day of fall = PIZZA. (!) Well, if we’re going to get technical, everyday = pizza for me. Not that I EAT pizza everyday, but I could. If I wanted. Because I’m an adult. Who loves pizza. On risky levels. So. Yeah. But look at all that roasted goodness! We’ve got sliced baby […]

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 […]
Slow-Roasted Golden Tomato Bruschetta
More tomaters! Only this time we’re slooooow roastin’. As opposed to slow cookin’. Remember? From like, two days ago? Never mind. These golden beauts, I must admit, do not come from my very pregnant garden. They’re farmer’s market finds because I cannot liiiiiiive without golden tomatoes. Which makes me wonder why I don’t just grow […]
Hot Pepper Jelly
Soooooo hot! Kind of. Before we start talking about garden pepper jelly, can I just tell you real quick that I just put a dead fly in my mouth? On accident, you weirdo! In my sleepy haze, I refilled the empty water glass on my nightstand, and just started gulping away in the dark. It’s […]
Open-Faced Heirloom Tomato Sandwiches
This is how you shove summer in your face. And it’s colorful, too, so we’re basically winning at vegetables. Or wait! Fruits. Tomatoes = fruit. My bad. Why again are tomatoes fruit? Because of the whole seed thing? I think that’s a load of crock. Next you’re going to tell me that Koala bears are […]
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 […]
Quick Garlicky Parmesan Crostini
Happy New Yeaaaaarrrrr! . . .ish. I gotsta be straight up with you right now. This isn’t my recipe. I did not come up with this perfectly simple, satisfying, knock-your-face-off-to-yummy-town appetizer. No, no. Not me. Not I. Not myself. Not even Irene. (who IS Irene?) This appie is actually brought to you by my super […]
French Lentils with Roasted Root Vegetables
Meatless! . . . Tuesday. I’ll admit, I’m not that that creative with vegetarian cooking. Back in the day when I was jazzed about expanding my vegetarian horizons, I tried making tofu a lot. I deep fried little strips. I pan fried little squares. I slipped silken blobs into soups. I even tried baking it! […]
Homemade Baby Food. Four Recipes, Yo.
Okay, you guys, baby food is ugly. This has been your warning. But it’s soooo easy to make and I just couldn’t get through this phase without sharing a few of my go-to purees for the gremlins. And no, they’re not going to be gremlins for Halloween. Which actually breaks my heart because I seriously […]
