Ricotta! Cheese! Cheese. It’s just great. I know you get (understandably) nervous when I bake. I get it. I do, too. But this turned out! It’s flourless, dense in a way, creamy in another, light in another, succulent in another, sinful in another. But don’t look at my cinnamon sprinkling abilities. It uh, got out […]
Free-form! We like free-form lasagna. Don’t argue with me. This is one of those springy-summery meals that’s super comforting, but doesn’t feel like you ate a wet cinder block. It’s also vegetarian, but you can absolutely throw in some shredded rotis if your hearts cries. LEZ BREAK HER DOWN. By the way, are these helpful? […]
Crepes! As in – the real deal. From scratch. From crepe scratch. Plus an obscene amount of melted mozzarella because these are the ridiculous decisions of my life. So, the other day I was watching Jacques Pépin on the PBS, and he was whipping up these beautiful, light, golden brown crepes lightning fast, while his […]
Breakfast! And also, I lost my camera cord. You know the cord that attaches the camera to the computer so you can dump photos? Lost it. And it’s MAKING ME CRAZY. I use it almost every single day. It’s always in one spot! And now it’s completely gone. Vanished. Disappeared. This has twins written all […]
I just discovered my new favorite lunch of all time. Or breakfast if you put a fried egg on top! Orrrr dinner if you add some thinly sliced steak on top! Orrrrrrrr dessert if you put a scoop of chocolate fudge ice cream on top! Oh I’m just kidding, you guyyyyzzzzz. There would be at […]
If you ask me, there’s a rumble of mighty confusion among the lands. And by lands, I mean my noggin. You know what, I’m just going to ask you. I asked the Google, but it only led me down a path of befuddlement and flask shopping. What’s the stinkin’ difference between manicotti and cannelloni? They’re […]
So you know how we went to Arkansas last weekend for the holiday and I got that enormous tree log splinter stuck in my thigh? Well I have good news. We got the splinter out. And then we made cheese. And the cool thing was, the very tools and chemicals we used to get the […]
So wait, I thought the chicken was the eggplant. BA-DOMP. I’m here all night, folks. So, eggplant is that vegetable that I totally on purpose forget about. I see it every summer in farmers’ markets, in various shapes, sizes and stunning shades of purple, and I run away like the boogie man is chasing me […]
I love it when food has attitude. Like this. This lasagna is practically standing in a big open field with braids and flowers in its hair and a huge sign, “Whatever, I’m free-form. Wanna make something of it? And by the way, I just burned my bra.” It’s lasagna without much willy nilly. There’s […]
Mama. Mia. Mother of the babies that drink the morning dew. If there is one thing truly meant for you to do in this life and on this planet, it is to take an afternoon and make stuffed jumbo shells. STUFFED JUMBO SHELLS. Wonderfully large pasta shells filled to the rim with fluffy ricotta, velvety […]
