How much flavor can one plate hold? THIS MUCH. As I write, I’m honestly a little sad this plate isn’t in front of me right now. It’s that good. Whenever I order Greek-style food, I always go for the appetizer plate — hummus, mezze, whatever’s available. I want little bites of everything. It’s not unique … Read more
I’m starting the week with a rich Irish beef stew — and yes, it has dumplings. Delicious, comforting dumplings. Before spring arrives in full, I had to sneak in one more serious comfort-food recipe. This stew is everything: robust, cozy and exactly what you want on a chilly day. Serious comfort food. Cue all the … Read more
What if I told you this was the best thing I’ve eaten in weeks? I know I can be dramatic and I admit I use “the best” a lot, but after a few weeks of burgers, sushi, pizza and even a night where wine stood in for dinner, this simple toast topped with mushrooms, melted … Read more
I always make these sorts of resolutions, if you will. Not resolutions about diet or exercise, but little creative promises I make to myself about food and photography. I tell myself I’ll aim for classic, elegant dishes—things that could live inside a Martha Stewart book. I imagine west-coast minimalism or European-inspired styling with soft pastels … Read more
These marinated tomato BLTs are a summer must. With marinated tomatoes, crispy bacon, toasted sourdough and creamy avocado, they’re simple to make and full of bright, layered flavor. If you have garden tomatoes, marinating them elevates the sandwich—definitely give it a try. How perfect is a lunch this satisfying? Everything I want to eat right … Read more
I have found it — the best veggie burger. Seriously. This veggie burger has blown me away. It’s flavorful, full of texture and chew, satisfying, and — the big one — it actually holds together in the pan. Serve it on buns, make a patty melt, toss it on a salad, or use lettuce wraps. … Read more
{via} This past week felt incredibly wintry, and I’m definitely feeling it—like the kind-of-weekend-where-two-glasses-of-wine-feel-just-right feeling. I can’t believe February is almost here. Are you still keeping up with resolutions, or have you already traded them for a cupcake? What are your plans for the weekend? I’m leaning toward shopping, a movie, and maybe another closet … Read more
Please tell me you’ve had these before. Okay… these exact ones probably aren’t actually from 1988. At least I don’t think so. I can be a little nutty about nostalgic finds—my pantry currently hides canned soup that expired in 2002—so take it as you will. This brownie recipe came from a yellowed index card in … Read more
It is true.
The world might be ending.
But I say that every time I share something with nuts—those crunchy little devils that often ruin brownies for me.
It’s a little early to talk Thanksgiving, but planning ahead never hurts. People post Thanksgiving recipes early, and I don’t like feeling left out. As a first-born Scorpio and chronic people-pleaser, exclusion is the worst.
So here I am: included.
I bet you’re surprised I’m taking it back to 1995. Hello, veggie pizza! This retro veggie pizza from the 90s is still one of my favorite party starters. Cold, crunchy vegetables on a flaky crescent roll crust with a creamy, savory spread — pure nostalgia. Every year around the 4th of July, I get into … Read more
