I can’t take credit for this salad — it’s my friend Kelly’s creation. Last week we went to her house for dinner and I was supposed to bring dessert. Life happened, I got busy, and I didn’t make the dessert. So I grabbed store-bought cookies. Yes, store-bought. I don’t usually like them unless they have … Read more

Welcome to Friendsgiving headquarters 2017! I’m excited to share this Friendsgiving spread over the next week. I’ve got turkey and gravy, potatoes, slow cooker stuffing, desserts and cocktails planned — but of course we had to begin with an over-the-top Thanksgiving cheese and crostini board. Lots of bread, lots of cheese, and plenty of snacks … Read more

I present to you my new favorite summer dish. I couldn’t resist giving classic risotto a Tex‑Mex twist, and the results are delicious.

Cacio e pepe is the perfect concept for … Read more

THESE BOWLS! (caps necessary) I want to dive inside and eat my way out. We’re talking caramel — not fussy, but definitely rich and brown-sugary — paired with tender pork. Two of my favorite things. I could be perfectly content with this forever. This is legitimately one of the easiest, most addictive dinners. You’ll find … Read more

Ice cream party! So. I’ve become a total ice cream person. I know that sounds strange — like I wasn’t into ice cream before — but honestly, I wasn’t. For years I barely cared for it. I avoided foods at extreme temperatures and the only scoop that used to make me excited was chocolate peanut … Read more

I already need a break from the constant holiday flavors. This is what’s wrong with 2014. We haven’t even reached the actual holiday season and I’m already tired of potatoes and pumpkin.
