Watermelon and Basil Granita
My heart is stuck in Spring. Last I remember, it was the end of May, and I was still marveling at the glorious scent of lilacs in my backyard. I don’t know what happened to those pleasantly warm days and pleasantly cool nights, but they’re nowhere to be seen now. One moment I was going […]
Cauliflower General Tso’s
If I had to venture a guess, I’d say General Tso’s Chicken is probably one of the best-known Chinese dishes here in America. Which is kind of funny, seeing as it’s such a far cry from traditional Chinese food. Indeed, it has nothing to do with with it’s namesake, the military leader General Tso of […]
Strawberry Rhubarb Crumble Ice Cream
The internet and I, we’re best buds. Whenever I’m in need of cute cat videos, or can’t remember who that one guy from that one movie was, or want to keep in touch with far away friends… the internet is there for me. But there are some things the internet just cannot do. This past […]
Rhubarb Mojitos with Rhubarb & Lime Syrup
Strange though it may sound, I have been dreaming of this day for months. Huddled under a pile of blankets in the depths of winter, I couldn’t get rhubarb out of my mind. Perhaps it was the thought of all those things that rhubarb season brings with it — warm weather, gardening, not having to […]
Perfectly Moist Gluten-Free Banana Bread {Guest Post}
I have eaten a lot of banana bread in my day. I mean, a lot. In fact, I might go so far as to call myself a banana bread expert. First off, it’s got to be moist, m’kay? Not underbaked, not overbaked, but that perfect middle ground where it’s not too wet or too dry. […]
Anniversary: 1
The other day you asked me, as we drifted off to sleep, what today means to me — our one year anniversary. I said, I don’t think of it as our first. I think of it as our third, because to me, it means three incredible years with my best friend. (more…)
Crispy Potato Gnocchi with Ramp Pesto
This has been an inordinately hectic week for me. On top of trying to cram as much into each day as I can, I’m tired… like, the kind of fatigue that makes you want to crawl back under the covers ever minute of every day, tired. It’s beginning to put a serious cramp in my […]
Wild Ramp Pesto
It will never cease to amaze me what variety there is when it comes to food. There are so many things I’ve never heard of, never had the opportunity to taste, never had the pleasure of experiencing. Everywhere you go, there are new flavors just waiting to be discovered. Which is probably why I love […]
Grapefruit, Thyme, and Lillet Cocktail
Inspiration is a funny thing. Sometimes you have it, sometimes you don’t. One minute it’s nowhere to be seen, the next it’s sneaking up behind you and tapping you on the shoulder. You can be wandering down the grocery store aisles with no direction, then suddenly, you’re standing in front of a bundle of fresh […]
Crustless Mini Quiche (single serving breakfast muffins)
I am not a morning person. As some of you may remember, I made a resolution this year to wake up earlier, so I could be more productive during the day and spend less time surfing the web at night. So far, I’ve made about as much progress as I did that time when I […]
Passion Fruit Mojito
Is it just me, or is it getting harder to focus? There are birds chirping outside, the sun is shining, and FLOWERS ARE GROWING IN MY YARD. And I’m supposed to sit at my computer and type? I think not. I think, instead, I’d like to sit in a warm patch of sun, sipping on […]
Brie, Apple, & Pistachio Bites
Five rules to leading a happy life: 1. Get lots of sleep 2. Drink plenty of water 3. Love freely 4. Be sincere 5. Eat cheese Okay, so eating cheese isn’t a necessary component to being happy, but it definitely helps. If you’re vegan, or lactose intolerant, cheese might not be the answer for you. […]
