Butternut Squash Risotto
This was an incredibly easy weeknight dinner after a week of long and involved meals. You can also potentially use up holiday leftovers, since I pre-roasted the squash the day before and added the mashed squash right at the end. It still has all the holiday flavors, but it’s great all winter long. Butternut Squash … Continue reading
Crispy Orange-Scented Brussels Sprouts
I created this recipe one night this week when we had only a few minutes to cook dinner but wanted some green veggies to go with some braised chicken. The lovely crispy leaves add texture and the orange zest gives it a light, citrusy aroma. It’s going to become a holiday favorite, and you can … Continue reading
Lemon Tiramisu
I had a bunch of the Italian ladyfingers used for tiramisu, but no time or mascarpone to make the original. This is a pretty Americanized version, but I could just call it Lemon Pudding or Lemon Trifle and that would be fine too. No matter what you call it, it was a lovely end to … Continue reading
Quinoa with Snap Peas and Mint
I’m a big fan of quinoa because it reminds me of pasta but it’s actually a seed so it’s healthier. You can basically treat it as you would any small pasta and it works, although my favorites are either mushroom-based or citrus-based. When I saw these beautiful snap peas at the farmers market, it seemed … Continue reading
Mediterranean Citrus Couscous
As you might know by now, I love citrus. The olives in this recipe give it a nice salty, earthy bite and balances out the bright freshness of the citrus. Cooking this couscous in the juice really brings out the citrus flavor without adding fats like cheese and butter. I happened to find kaffir lime … Continue reading
Key Lime Pie
I’ve had two really memorable and fantastic vacations to the Florida Keys, thanks to the suggestion of an old friend and coworker who loves the Keys. As soon as we go over the bridge leaving Miami and enter the Keys, life seems to slow down and everything seems right. We stop for some fish tacos … Continue reading
Fava Bean and Pecorino Salad
This salad says Spring to me like nothing else. It’s bright, green, and fresh looking and the salty bite of the pecorino gives it beautiful depth of flavor. The mint makes it even more refreshing and it pairs well with anything. It’s still cold and rainy here in New York, and this is a much … Continue reading
Avocado Pesto
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 … Continue reading
Edamame Hummus
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 … Continue reading
Jam Thumbprint Cookies
I love cookies that have jam in them, particularly a sugar cookie base like this. You can use whatever jam you have lying around, I used a combination of cassis, apricot-pineapple, and my own apple butter in this batch. It’s nice to have a variety and it doesn’t take any more work, so why … Continue reading
