Asparagus and Pea Soup with Mint Pesto

Asparagus and Pea Soup with Mint Pesto

April 13, 2015

I have a giant celebrity chef crush on Naomi Pomeroy, who owns Beast in Portland, Oregon. I haven't actually been to her restaurant, but a couple of years ago Alex took me to a cooking class she was teaching for my birthday. If you live in New York and have never been to De Gustibus, I highly ...

Artichoke and Olive-Stuffed Portobellos

I realized there is a bit of a lack of main course recipes on this blog. I promise it's not because I'm secretly pairing all these vegetable dishes with a cheeseburger! (Only sometimes…) No, really it's because my favorite way to eat is to throw a few different sides together and call it a meal. If ...

I had a babysitter growing up who used to marvel at what a good eater I was. Evidently, as soon as she plopped me in the high chair I inhaled everything on the tray. It's definitely true that I've always loved food. The only negative memory I have of it is the one time that same babysitter gave me a ...

Last month Alex and I spent a weekend in Philadelphia, which of course included a meal at Vedge (OMG) and a trip to Reading Terminal Market, where we gorged ourselves on all the amazing food, like a pretzel-studded caramel ice cream from Bassett's that I literally cannot stop thinking about. There's ...

Vegan Potato Leek Soup with Roasted Garlic

March 13, 2015

This may come as a surprise, since I grew up outside of Boston and I love craft beer, but I am a giant St. Patrick's Day scrooge. I don't like shepherd's pie or mashed potatoes, and I could probably count the number of times I've eaten corned beef on one hand. When I was in college, it was kind ...

Do you guys remember when I used to make jam? Like literally every week? Obviously, that was before I had a kid. Now I barely have time to make Annie's Macaroni & Cheese a nice dinner, let alone tackle a home preserving project. But I miss it! If you are feeling food crafty, and have way more ...

When I was growing up, my family would spend a week every summer on Martha's Vineyard. One night we always went out for a "fancy" dinner at this restaurant called the Ocean View, which actually didn't have a view of the ocean, but let's not split hairs. My mom would order a lobster and my dad ...

It was -2°F degrees out this morning when I loaded Owen into the car to go to daycare. Still, he refuses to wear a hat. Every time I put one on him (a sun hat, a baseball cap, even a jacket hood) he rips it off and yells "Noooo!" When I tried to put it back on I said, "Doesn't that feel goooood?" ...

Lemony Broccoli Rabe with Almonds and Raisins

February 18, 2015

I went back and forth about whether to post this recipe. There is nothing particularly ground-breaking about it. But it's mid-February, and maybe you're feeling a little bit stuck in a rut, vegetable wise. I know I am. The past couple of weeks have been super busy, and I've been throwing our meals ...

My very first recipe testing job was for The Veselka Cookbook. One summer, 125 Ukrainian recipes. You guys, I made so. many. perogies. And also five kinds of borscht. It was crazy and stressful and amazing, and I was so proud of myself (and stuffed) when I was done. To celebrate, naturally I baked a ...
