New obsession if you don’t mind me saying. Everyone loves a baked brie. Name someone who doesn’t lose their sh*t over a baked brie. (We’re leaving Aaron out of this situation.) Ya can’t! We’re into baked bries. Some are wrapped in puff pastry, others are baked as is and get draped with various sweet or […]

Brothy Beans with Crusty Bread
I don’t know how brothy beans aren’t considered life’s greatest hack, but I’m here to proclaim it here and now. First of all, they go with anything. ANYTHING. Chicken, sausages, steaks. I served mine with bacon and pineapple chicken sausages and there was not a dry eye in the house. Secondly, they take a handful […]
Braised Beans with Tomatoes and Pepperoni over Crusty Bread
Beans! Braised beans. On toast. We’re so British right now. But like, look at that crisped up pepperoni. We’re going places, you guys. First of all, you should know that this was surprisingly a total hit at my house for my kids on my street in my town in this state. Complete shock to me. […]
No-Knead Parmesan and Poppy Seed Crusty Bread
I’ve started and stopped and re-written and stopped and backspaced this opener thirteen fifty times because are you kidding there are NO WORDS. Your new favorite no-knead bread. To die for. Show stopping. Tiny melted surprise parmesan pockets of glory. Crispy crusty outside speckled with poppy seed. The most comforting pillowy texture inside. And you […]
Shrimp Scampi with Tomatoes and Crusty Bread
Also known as, my five-year old daughter’s advanced tongue’s favorite food. SHRIMP. Isn’t that so bizarre?! She loves it. Craves it. Asks for it. And I’m always like, “SHRIMP? REALLY? Don’t you want peanut butter and jelly or cheese and crackers or like, candy? Here, open your mouth and let me pour this sugar straight […]
Buttermilk-Brined Cornish Game Hens with a Rustic Kale Gratin
Another Valentine’s Day meal that I’m forcing upon you! Also, these hens are upside down. I’m just getting this out of the way right here, right now. I roasted them upside down. You may now kick me out of the blogosphere and life. The embarrassing thing is, this almost happened at Thanksgiving, too! Carolyn and […]
Creamy Wild Mushrooms with Crusty Bread and Cheese
Well well WELL….. I accidentally-totally-on-purpose made this luxurious pile of creamy, cheesy, buttery, mushroomy bliss a couple of days ago for lunch, and all I could do (besides sob like a baby) was imagine hosting a fabulous ladies’ luncheon and serving this with a bucket ton of rosé and a crisp kale salad. It was […]
Buttery Shrimp With Butter and a Wee Bit More Butter. What?
Back when I was a kid we’d watch Blossom and the Fresh Prince of Bel Air on Monday nights. Fast forward a billion years and I’m watching PBS cooking shows and the local news. Where did the time go? Why am I almost 35? Wait, is that a JOWL I SEE? Someone will pay. *send […]
Fondue: The Healthy Way To Eat Cheese, Right?
Last night a girlfriend came over and we ate cheese. A lot of cheese. There was much of the dipping into the cheese. Don’t worry, we ate our vegetables. We coated them in cheese. We had good, nutritious bread too. Soaked in cheese. We were this close to dipping any and all household objects into […]
