I’m on another Emeril kick. When am I not? I’ve been eying zucchini cake recipes for a while, and now our CSA is stuffed full of all kinds of squash, so I decided it was time to try something new. This recipe is not too hard, but I have a few of my own changes … Continue reading
I did not make this quiche. My husband, Sean, made this quiche. He made it following instructions I gave him via text message. If you ever want a testament to the fact that quiches can be incredibly easy to make, use the fact that my non-chef husband made a quiche via text instructions. It’s nearly … Continue reading
I have to admit, I’m getting tired of Swiss chard. This always happens toward the end of vegetable seasons. After so many months of trying to figure out what to do with this green, I’m feeling a little tapped. And on one particularly lazy day, I decided to forget even trying and just throw them … Continue reading
This is my favorite pizza to date. Incredibly fast, incredibly delicious. Steeping the garlic and basil in the olive oil makes it incredibly flavorful. It uses stuff I will have in my CSA box for much of the summer: cherry tomatoes, garlic, basil. Huge hit with the husband and kid. Win! 1-2 cups cherry tomatoes, … Continue reading
When lettuce time rolls around, I never quite know what to do. I can only stomach so many green salads in my lunch. My husband won’t eat it at all…until…MEAT! This was a great way to use all the hearts of Romaine we got in the box this week and a way to use a … Continue reading
Yes, I know. I’m maxing out on the pizza. But it’s easy! And quick! And easy to make vegetarian! Except I buckled and used a little bacon in this one. It was good, but I would have been happy without. I googled Brussels Sprouts Pizza and got a bunch of different recipes. This one is … Continue reading
I have strange news. Are you sitting down? I seem to be becoming a vegetarian. No, really. About two months ago, I stopped craving and enjoying most meat. And I am the queen of bacon. Pork fat rules! It used to take a great deal of effort to not cook with pork on a daily … Continue reading
This is another screw-up turned excellent new recipe. A few weeks ago our microwave died and we replaced it with a newfangled combo microwave and convection oven. Convection ovens are supposed to be great for roasting stuff. The circulate the hot air and cook evenly. Except mine, it turns out. I was making roasted root … Continue reading
Hi! I’m back! Things are a little nutty right now and I keep forgetting to photograph my work. But I did cook up a giant load of pumpkin the week after Halloween, and now I’m trying to find ways to use it. The night I cooked up all the pumpkin (that’s a big Cinderella pumpkin … Continue reading
I’ve made a lot of one pot dinners lately. You may have noticed. Tonight I got all ambitious and was going to make three dishes: Salmon with Red Pepper Pesto, Brown Butter Orzo, and sautéed chard with garlic. Nice! Well, I made the pesto, browned some butter and got the orzo cooking, cleaned and sliced … Continue reading
