I have a lot of meatballs on here by now: classic spaghetti and meatballs, tuna meatballs, and chicken meatballs, and I thought it was time for vegetarian meatballs. These were inspired by a couple different recipes I saw across the blogosphere and they disappeared so quickly that I will have to make them again. They’re [...]

I’m not a big fan of going out for Valentine’s Day because restaurants typically overcharge and it feels a little forced. Plus, my favorite evenings are ones spent at home over a delicious meal– why do something different? I see Valentine’s Day as an opportunity to be reminded how good we have it every other [...]

I won a box of avocados from Serious Eats a couple weeks ago, and I’ve been working on some recipes with them. This avocado pesto worked well with this whole wheat fresh pasta, and also as a topping for some deliciously sweet scallops from the farmers market. The avocado gives it a creaminess and richness [...]

If you’ve been wondering why I haven’t been posting as much this week, it’s because I’m trying out the Bon Appetit Food Lover’s Cleanse. It seemed like a good idea to try eating healthy for a couple weeks, as we tend to do this time of year. I’ve had a lot of oatmeal, muesli, and pumpkin [...]

This is an old family recipe that I’ve had at Thanksgiving for as long as I can remember. It’s also my favorite part of Thanksgiving, so much so that I always make extra now that I’m making it myself. It keeps for months because of the sugar and it’s amazing on chicken, in sandwiches, [...]
Pesto, a summer favorite!

Pesto is just so summery. It’s one of the easiest and quickest things to make, but it’s just perfect. I make it in big batches in the spring and summer when they have tons of basil at the green market. I put it in plastic containers, cover the top with a layer of olive oil [...]
