For years, I wrote a column for Serious Eats called the Mixed Review. Each week, I made something from a boxed mix and assessed the results. There were cakes, muffins, donuts, brownies, cookies. The day after testing I would bring all the leftovers into work and deposit them in the office kitchen ...
Lemony Sweet Tea Vodka
(Photo credit: Steve Legato) Happy Friday! And Happy Memorial Day Weekend! Can you believe we made it to the summer after the looong winter we had? I think we all deserve a pat on the back and a fun cocktail for surviving all that snow. We are still in California, so this post will be short ...
Homemade Barbecue Potato Chips
Greetings from the West Coast! We made it in one piece. Highlights from the trip here included changing pull up diapers in the (tiny, turbulent) airplane bathroom, paying for Internet in desperation only to realize you can't watch Netflix (tantrum), and when Owen threw his pacifier behind him like a ...
Matcha Spinach Smoothie
I'm trying something new here, a regular feature called Links & Drinks. On as many Fridays as I can manage, I'll post a roundup of links to interesting articles, Internet finds, books, podcasts, and anything else I'm currently loving. I'll also post a drink recipe--sometimes a cocktail, ...
100% Whole Wheat Blueberry Muffins
Last Saturday my parents came to visit. Their train was late, and while I was waiting I decided to pop into this cute little bakery by the station for a cup of coffee. They always have a really nice selection of healthy(ish) baked goods, like oatmeal breakfast cookies and gluten-free scones. That ...
Strawberry Rhubarb Vanilla Bean Compote
Someday I want to write a cookbook called Back Pocket Desserts. What do you think? Would you buy it? It would be filled with recipes like this one—quick and simple sweets that keep for a while, so that you're always prepared when it's 9:30pm, your kid is finally asleep, and you definitely deserve a ...
Honeydew Agua Fresca
Like most kids I know, Owen is obsessed with the movie Frozen. On a recent trip to the supermarket, he spotted some bottles of water with the characters on them. Even though I'm generally opposed to paying for something I can get for free from my kitchen sink, I caved and let him get the Olaf one. ...
Whole Wheat Vegan Graham Crackers
Do you guys remember that episode of Friends where Rachel gets called out for saying that her favorite movie is Dangerous Liaisons when it's really Weekend at Bernie's? That's what I'm like with baking cookbooks. When asked, I say that it's Gina DePalma's Dolce Italiano: Desserts from the Babbo ...
Whole Wheat Blueberry Apple Rhubarb Crisp
I don't mean to eschew responsibility, but I swear sometimes desserts just happen in our house. I wasn't planning to bake anything last Friday, but I had a pint of blueberries in the fridge along with a few leftover stalks of rhubarb, and there were some green apples in the fruit bowl… before I knew ...
Roasted Cauliflower with Romesco
The most memorable romesco I ever had was at Chez Panisse. It was in July of 2009 and Alex and I were on our way to Napa Valley for a wedding. It wasn't my first time in Northern California, but it was my first time since food had become something that mattered to me. In fact, I was hard at work on ...
