This broiled wedge salad might be my new favorite — crisp, refreshing, and packed with flavor and crunch. Broiling gives these iceberg wedges the same charred, savory notes as a grilled salad while keeping the interior crisp. Here they’re finished with a silky ginger-tahini dressing, bright pomegranate arils, and buttery, salty pistachios — a combination … Read more
I did it.
I put a vegetable in a cupcake. And I didn’t do it alone.
Remember when I made those breakfast cookies? I adore that recipe. I made them with facebaby’s sister (one of my best friend’s kids—no relation), who is pretty much my favorite little person in the world.

Hello summer.
This salad may look light, but it’s unapologetically indulgent — and that’s part of the fun. Still, it’s a salad, so it counts as something good. Think of this as a glorified, grilled, chopped celebration of summer flavors.
Important question: do you have any mashed potatoes left? It might seem unlikely, but if you do have leftover mashed potatoes, don’t toss them — put them in your waffle maker. Mix the mashed potatoes with a little flour and an egg, fold in crumbled bacon and blue cheese, brush the waffle iron with bacon … Read more
