We can obsess over a quick protein salad, can’t we? We can. And this one is speedy, beany, herby and crunchy. What’s not to love. I didn’t roast these chickpeas, but get on with that if it fuels you. I looooove roasted chickpeas to freaking death, but my impatience won this time. Jars open, beans […]
Friday Flotsam
Frrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! I have the CRAZIEST story for you. And it’s disgusting and mysterious and gross and weird and barfy. Are you ready for it? (DUNNNN DUNNNN DUNNNN….) (btw when do we think REP TV is coming?) (never mind.) SO, yesterday morning I was getting ready to go to an estate sale with my friend Mindy. […]
Rosemary Chicken and White Beans
Another weeknight wonder, coming full-steam at ya! I have a thing for chicken. Chicken thighs. And rosemary. Fresh. And lemon. Lots of it. And creamy cannellini beans. I’ll take it all. So let’s whip up an incriminatingly simple weeknight dish that will have you in the fetal position. But I’m not dramatic about it or […]
Monthly Mixtape: Repeat time!
Septembah! Iloveitiloveitiloveit. But listen, we’ve been out of town and I’m staring at two overgrown yards and gnarly weeds and wimpy plants and I gotta get out there. Time to manicure! So we’re listening to last September’s mixtape, which you loved. So I feel like we’re still in that jazzy mood (when are we not, […]
Friday Flotsam
Frrrrrrrrrrrrr uh duh flu tu su um. I’ve never seen Practical Magic. Truth! Never seen it. And probably just ruined your entire morning now that you know this. This is the thing – my IG algorithm is heavy heavy on the vintage fall glimpses right now. New York City, tiny New England towns, backed by […]
Homemade Ricotta
OMG. First, this is a journey for me. Much like Mary Oliver, pie crusts and my ever-growing brass mirror collection. A journey. (don’t look at me like that, Mindy.) Which means, I’ve not mastered it. But I had to document where I landed this week because still, STILL, it was unbelievably flooring. My ricotta (which […]
One Pan Chicken Pasta with Tomatoes and Corn
Well hello, weeknight beauty. (beast sold separately) This’n right here is about to blow you down. It’s exactly what you need for that bumper crop of tomatoes at the end of summer. Or if you want to purchase a pint of cherry tomatoes at the store and call it samesies, I won’t tell a soul. […]
Friday Flotsam
Friiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit’s my birthdaaaaay! 48. Is that not bananas? FORTY EIGHT. What on actual earth. It feels good, ya know? It’s right up the nostril cavern of 50, but I’m feeling it! Of course I still need to figure out how to add more softness to my aging hair, and take the time to trim and […]
Ham, Mint and Brie Sandwiches
Sandwich night! (also known as Save Me night.) It’s nothing novel, but I love this sandwich. Fancy enough to pass for an oh-la-la dinner, but simple enough to whip up on a Wednesday before soccer practice. Because look at that melted brie. Sister, please. The ham is savory and smoked, the mint earthy and bright, […]
