Side dish Thursday! It’s not a thing. Actually, it’s side dish WEEK. I gave you skillet potatoes on Tuesday, and carrots Thursday. WHAT HAPPENS ON SATURDAY! Well, nothing. Deal. Just kidding. This is a suuuuper simple recipe that goes well with anything. Roasted CHICKEN, seared STEAK, maybe some PORK. Or just on its own, if […]

Cheesy Skillet Potatoes
EASIEST. POTATO SIDE. EVER. And get this, they’re not totally scalloped. They’re just layered. With cheese and garlic and butter and cheese and cheese. So if scalloping potatoes makes you skeered, don’t! Just layer. With cheese and garlic and butter and cheese and cheese. But first, a little back story. Over Easter weekend, my sister-in-law […]
Roasted Cauliflower Soup
First slurp fest of the year! And it’s roasted. It’s all roasted. Praise be. (<–name that show.) If you’re not into cauliflower (WHO ARE YOU), I hiiiighly recommend taking a stab at roasting it. Cauliflower isn’t true cauliflower unless it’s been roasted to smithereens. But first, let’s talk about how simple this soup is. And […]
Israeli Couscous Salad with Asparagus and Bacon
Beautiful. Bright. Glorious. But now let’s talk about this salad. This mess is straight up (now tell me) out of control. First of all, look at that color! Don’t you want to punch it in the shin? I don’t eat enough Israeli couscous. Truthfully, I kind of forgot about it, until I spotted it in […]
Sweet Potato Noodle and Kale Casserole
There are noodles in that casserole. Sweet potato noodles. Shall we boogie? Sweet potato casserole was always my ultimate fave Thanksgiving side dish growing up. Remember all those toasty marshmallows and buttery, crumbled nuts on top? Mah gah. And while I could still giddily inhale 13 pans of that glory today, I’m trying to come […]
Lentil, Kale and White Bean Salad
FAVORITE NEW LUNCH. Sorry to scream. So this sucks. (not the salad, but what I’m about to tell you.) A week before Labor Day I somehow hurt my ankle while running. I’m not sure when the exact moment was, because I don’t remember anything specifically happening during my run, like a snap, a crackle, or […]
Cheesy Twice-Baked Potatoes with a Scallion Pesto
It’s Side Dish Day! Not really, I just made that up. But let’s just pretend. It’s Side Dish Day! What a great day. I have to say, huge meals like on Thanksgiving, Christmas, where there’s a gigantic chunk of meat and then a bunch of yummy side dishes, I totally go for the sides. No […]
Roasted Vegetable and Quinoa Salad
Disclaimer alert: This dish is obnoxiously healthy. Proceed at your own risk. I’ve been known to be somewhat of a disclaimer queen in my day. “These dusty baseboards are not my fault! It’s like the freaking Dust Bowl part 2 out there.” “I tried to vacuum Charlie’s hair off those pillows but homegirl just gets […]
Sautéed Potatoes and Leeks with Bacon and Parmesan
It’s Friday story time! Oh don’t act like this is the worst thing that’s ever happened to your life. So a few weeks ago I was beboppin’ around on the netz, when all of the sudden I got an email from an old friend whom I’ve known for about 8 years I think. Did I […]
Maple-Orange Sweet Potato Mash & Slow Cooker Creamed Corn
Let’s face it. You totally have your Thanksgiving meal all planned out. Signed, sealed, delivered. Hook, line and sinker. (wait, what?) Rollin’ with the homies. (what does that . . . what?) Skip to my Lou. (I’m sorry, who’s Lou?) Cuz I’m bad. (no, no you’re not.) Buuuut just in case you don’t, and your […]
