As you may know by now, I have a thing for pasta. But after two weeks of pasta-free cleansing, I couldn’t decide what kind I wanted first. And then I started to feel like maybe I shouldn’t be too decadent (with a loaded mac and cheese, for instance), since I just spent two weeks without [...]

Another year, another milkshake. I love blueberries and anything with blueberries in it. So it was only a matter of time until I came up with this milkshake. I used to put blueberries over vanilla ice cream, which was the inspiration for this. You can use a blender to make it, or if you’re lazy [...]

  Strictly speaking of course, this isn’t hummus. In order for it to be hummus, it has to have chickpeas in it. So you could call it a spread but that sounds too ambiguous for me and it really does remind me of hummus, so that’s what I’m going with. You could definitely add some [...]

After more than a week of eating healthy, this soup tasted so great with just a little ground lamb. I’ve started craving carbs, but not meat– until I started smelling this meat cooking.

The menu for New Year’s Eve included these crackers along with some homemade chocolate covered strawberries and prosecco. I brought the second batch last night to a New Year’s Day Party as well, and they disappeared quickly. I think these are going to be a good substitute for the gougeres I usually make. Because they [...]

It was a great first year for my latest project, Meatballs and Milkshakes. I had a chance to make both namesakes for my blog, spaghetti and meatballs and affogato milkshakes. My recipe for shaved asparagus salad won on Food52 and I got all sorts of prizes. (And my recipe will be in print in October 2012!) I [...]

  As most people are probably doing after the holidays, I was craving a salad to balance out all the heavy, rich food everywhere. This is one of my favorites, and it’s really not even a recipe. The bresaola is from one of my favorite places in NY, Di Palo. If you haven’t been there, [...]
