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 […]

Creamy and dreamy. Are you seeing this? I have 150 pages of left of The Great Alone and every time I make a food, eat a food, look at a food I think, “The Allbrights really would have liked this. Well, Cora and Leni would. ERNT can eat his own toenails.” What was I saying? […]

Coconut Basil Chicken with Brown Rice
I now pronounce you, coconut basil sauce and wife. I can’t stop with the sauces. Nor would I ever want to. Nor could I ever want to. Nor should I ever want to. I’m a loner, Dottie. A rebel – geeeetting off track. This sauce is all about the basil. Four cups of it. More […]
