I like my hot chocolate thick as cream, so it coats the back of my throat, and it's debatable whether I should use a spoon to eat it. There's just one problem: I don't actually want to drink a mug of heavy cream. So how do you make hot chocolate that is ultra-decadent without being ultra-caloric ...
Miso Soup with Vegetables
A few weeks ago a friend and former colleague sent me a review copy of the new cookbook The Homemade Kitchen by Alana Chernila. I immediately fell in love with it, because on her dedication page, Alana quotes "Simple Gifts," the Shaker song by Joseph Brackett. That song holds such a special place in ...
Six Ingredient Salted Caramel Granola
I learned something about myself last weekend: I am not above using store-bought caramel sauce. I hope you're not either, because then you would miss out on this insanely easy, incredibly delicious granola. All you do is heat a little coconut oil and caramel sauce, then pour it over rolled oats, ...
Five Ingredient Spiced Pear Bellini
In my whole life, I've lived alone for exactly one month. I was 25 and had just quit my job and moved from Manhattan to Brooklyn, leaving behind my tight-knit group of girlfriends to strike out on my own in a new borough. I moved in with a girl I barely knew; I met her through Craigslist when she ...
Herb and Hot Sauce Pickled Onions
When I first started blogging over a year ago, Alex asked me when I was going to do a post about "those onions." But I shrugged the suggestion off because, even though these onions are a staple in our fridge, at the time they just didn't seem worthy of an entire post dedicated only to them. I ...
Carrot Cheddar Soup with Kale
I know we just talked about soup recently. And I know that last winter I shared my all-time favorite recipe for carrot soup. So forgive me for bringing it up again. It's just that last week was unseasonably cold in New York, and pouring rain, and all I wanted to do was curl up with a bowl of pureed ...
Chocolate-Covered Pretzel Biscotti
Don't even tell me you don't like biscotti. You've probably only ever tried the kind they sell by the cash register in chain store coffee shops--stale, dry, and tasting vaguely like a toddler's teething biscuit. But real, homemade biscotti are nothing like that. They're crispy and crumbly and ...
Indian Apple, Tomato and Radish Salad
This salad… You guys, I might need an intervention. I've made it three times in the past week, and that's not including the first time I had it, which was at my mother-in-law's house. It's from the latest issue of Cooking Light. When I first saw it, I flipped right past. I thought the combination ...
Vegan Gluten-Free Oatmeal Raisin Smoothie
Can I ask you all a very important question? Do you feel like boxed salad greens go bad at an insanely fast rate? Sometimes it seems like I'm not even out of the grocery store parking lot before there is a rotten leaf of spinach in there, poisoning the whole plastic clamshell. It drives me ...
Hazelnut Apple Pear Crisp
Let's just say I've been around the block with apple crisp. I make it multiple times each fall and winter, and I even keep bags of prepared topping in the freezer to have at the ready. I thought I knew everything there was to know about it. But a couple of weeks ago, I was invited to a baking class ...
