And with a shallot dressing! Because we have to make sure we know about the shallot dressing. It’s too good. I rarely post salads on this blog because they end up being suuuuch a snooze fest. No one cares! BUT, this one needed to make its way somewhere permanent because hi, summer sausage? What on […]
Friday Flotsam
Frrrrrrrrrr ah! dah! Fla! tsa! amah! I have a lot to cover today, but I’m trying to figure out my approach. It has to be a bit strategic. Do I tell you about the mouse FIRST THING? Or do we discuss your favorite Taylor Swift lyric? Like your very very favorite. The one that stills […]

Baked Peaches with Rosemary and Cinnamon
Is there such thing as a cozy summer dessert? There is now, Chachi. And listen up, you can grill these!

Frrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrooloodoomoonoogoo! We’re going to Worlds of Fun today. Well, tonight. Later later on today. 4pm. Ya know, when the temperature’s at its absolute most brutal. It’s okay though! I’m going to take scarves for us all and wet them down at every mister. If you don’t know what Worlds of Fun is, it’s an amusement […]
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 […]

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 […]
Friday Flotsam
Frrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrewlewbewhew. Okay FIRST: this book. Mad Honey. I’m nearing page 200 and completely swallowed. I will say, I have yet to get to any twists, which SO many of you have excitedly prepared me. I’m trying to imagine what that would even look like. But it’s great. And frustrating. I mean I believe him! I’m […]

It’s the type of pasta that feels like you’re in another country. But in reality you’re actually just shoveling it into your pie hole over the stove in pajamas after a hot day at the pool like […]
