These sliders have been on my site since before I had Leo. Here’s an excerpt from the original introduction. “We don’t know what gender baby we are having for #2, and even though I have a sneaking suspicion it’s another girl, if I reflected on my current eating patterns, I might think boy. All...
My friend Bethany brought this to my house with some (delicious) guacamole and chips. As we all chatted I dug into the guac (obviously). If and when I dunk my chip into salsa it’s for one of two reasons. Either there isn’t any guacamole, or I’ve eaten so much gaucamole that I think to...
Every time I’ve made a salad for company (baby shower, BBQ, etc) over the past year or so, I’ve made a version of this salad. In the fall and winter I use peeled, diced pear in place of the strawberries and toasted walnuts for the pistachios but keep everything else the same. If the...
Another recipe from my class. The students were thrilled that we were making “fries” and I was thrilled they were willing to try such a healthy veggie, tossed in an interesting spice blend and dunked in a complex dip. I remember they liked this dip so much that they begged me to save their...
You know I love America’s Test Kitchen, so it was a weird moment when I saw their recipe for “pizza dip” come across my Instagram. Don’t get me wrong – the moment was great, it was just surprising. ATK tends to stick to the classics – appetizers like authentic hummus or classic cheese puffs....
I came to the realization a few years ago that ultimately (except for the rare person like my friend Alison), most people just want warm chocolate chip cookies for dessert. I could make something fancy like panna cotta or pavlova and that would be nice, but we are basically just children and we just...
Almost 700 recipes on here and this is the first one for chicken wings. There are like, twenty for scones though. Clearly I like to cook what I like to eat. Chicken wings have never been my favorite; that is, until I had the olive oil and herb wings at Anthony’s Coal Fire Pizza...
I’d gotten lazy (or should I say, busy) and stopped making hummus at home. For a while I stopped buying it at all, but my toddler adores the stuff and eats it like baby food so when I saw this recipe in my ATK magazine, I knew I had to try it.
A frittata is an Italian omelette that isn’t folded; the open faced omelette is either flipped or put under a broiler to set the top. I’ve made a few frittata and I’m not gonna lie – they stress me out. Either the bottom gets too brown or the top is a bit runny –...
Do you know about frozen puff pastry? I love the stuff because the homemade version is really hard to make and not necessarily better tasting. I consistently keep a box of Pepperidge Farm frozen puff pastry in my freezer because truly, the possibilities are endless.
