Tortilla Soup with Black Beans
The sun is streaming down as the bugs bite and the birds chatter; They say it’s going to be hot today followed by late afternoon thunderstorms. Are you a fan of thunderstorms? An afternoon thunderstorm after a hot day instigates both a rush of excitement and simultaneous coziness, so naturally, I am a fan. Also, thunderstorms [...]
Peperonata Potatoes
I had some peperonata rustica (recipe from Keller’s Ad Hoc) and some leftover potatoes sitting in the fridge from last night’s dinner and so I just put them together for a very simple brunch this morning. I served it with poached eggs and sprinkle of Manchego and it was absolutely one of my most favorite brunch [...]
Mongolian Spring Vegetables and Tofu
This recipe is one that I’ve waited to make for a while. I was scouring books and online recipes but just wasn’t able to find that special recipe that would work with all the adaptations I intended to make to it. Months went by as the snow was blowing and the wind was biting and [...]
Baked Oatmeal Cinnamon Buns
I have a new “thing” (shall we say), with oatmeal. I get about two or three thousand emails every day, all of which relate to food, recipes and blogging. One of these emails mentioned the word “oats” and I’ve been obsessed hyper focused on the subject ever since. Am I too easily inspired? Maybe. Am I weird? Well, there’s [...]
Lemon Pepper Oat Rice Cakes and Cumin Sour Cream
Thank you Babble for declaring me one of their Top 100 Food Mom Bloggers! While I attempt to gasp for air and snap myself out of shock and maybe not totally geek out if I can help it (have you seen who’s on that list?! WOAH!), I will share with you a little recipe that’s [...]
Cake Pan Pizza
This flaky and tender golden shell of a crust surrounds rich mozzarella and parmesan cheeses. It’s filled over an inch high with whatever you can imagine and topped with a hearty and flavorful tomato sauce of your choice; it’s one of my most favorite things to both make and eat, honestly. I make it [...]
Notes On Red Velvet and My Birthday
IT’S MY BIRTHDAY! It’s always been a huge deal to me to celebrate like there’s no tomorrow on my birthday. I also stretch out my birthday over at least a week, and maybe even a month -if I can get away with it- because I love it so much. I’m a five-year old trapped in [...]
Black Sesame Wasabi Edamame
You can count the amount of ingredients on one hand in this super healthy flavor punching snack. Perfectly crisp soybeans enveloped in the heat of wasabi and the full-bodied flavor of toasted black sesame with just a pinch of sea salt. They’re the perfect finish on a salad or you can eat them by the handful as an [...]
Steamed Vanilla Spongecakes
My beloved oven will be fine as of next week with the aid of a few ordered parts and a bit of timely and skilled installation. It’s undoubtedly requisite that we celebrate with some lovely cakes in the interim. You know what’s about to happen so surely brace yourselves if you’re as oven dependent as I am. If you [...]
Kung Pao Tofu and Broccoli
The firey amber glow stared back at me as I heard my beloved ally grasp at life. I noted an audible chugging and ticking as it attempted to preheat as commanded. One hundred degrees fahrenheit, it said. For twenty minutes, I waited for that number to rise, perhaps in denial that such a thing could happen. My oven…broken?! It couldn’t be, [...]
