Homemade Caramel Applesauce

Homemade Caramel Applesauce

October 3, 2016 4 Comments

This simple, five-ingredient homemade caramel applesauce is a delicious fall indulgence! We are swimming in apples over here! Last weekend we took Owen to a fall festival at Harvest Moon Orchard. We thought it was going to be a small town country affair with cider donuts, a pumpkin patch, ...

Cucumber Kiwi Salsa

Cucumber Kiwi Salsa

May 27, 2016 7 Comments

This crisp, refreshing salsa is bursting with the flavors of juicy kiwi, cool cucumber, tart lime, and spicy jalapeño.  I have a salsa confession to make: before I met Alex at the ripe old age of 25, I only ate mild salsa. Mild! I know! What's even the point? It wasn't exactly that I ...

We are moving on Sunday (eeek!) and a few weeks ago, while running house-related errands, we stopped for a quick bite at a family-friendly pub in our new neighborhood. Owen had chicken fingers and fries, and Alex and I shared two beers and a plate of wings.   By which I mean, Alex ate a whole ...

Herb and Hot Sauce Pickled Onions

Herb and Hot Sauce Pickled Onions

October 7, 2015 2 Comments

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 ...

Roasted Cauliflower with Romesco

Roasted Cauliflower with Romesco

April 22, 2015 Leave a Comment

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 ...

Owen has been napping really well recently, and I take full credit for it. Now that it's finally warm out, I've been taking him to this big park by the Hudson River in Tarrytown. It has two nice play structures, but the best part is that it's adjacent to a field of undulating hills. We bring a ...

Orange Polenta Cakes with Strawberry Balsamic Sauce

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 ...

Hummus 10 Ways

Hummus 10 Ways

January 4, 2015 Leave a Comment

My first job as an editorial assistant in Midtown Manhattan was very close to a stop on the E train that had a Subway sandwich shop inside it: a Subway in the subway. I never made a habit of going, but on days that I was feeling particularly grumpy or unmotivated I would slink underground and buy a ...

Roasted Vanilla Bean Apple Pear Sauce

December 16, 2014 Leave a Comment

I'm a very good cook, but my mother-in-law has me beat in several important categories, including all things poultry and potatoes. We are celebrating Hanukkah at her house this week, and of course she is making her amazing, perfectly crispy and golden brown latkes. They are one of Alex's all-time ...

Refrigerator Brussels Sprout Pickles

Refrigerator Brussels Sprout Pickles

November 19, 2014 Leave a Comment

The first real dinner party I ever threw was definitely a learning experience. I went totally overboard and made about a million different hors d'ouevres. I can't remember them all, but I think there was a fig and olive tapenade, some type of bruschetta, a huge cheese and charcuterie platter, ...
