Butternut Squash and Celery Root Gratin

Winter is clearly coming, as evidenced by my serious fatten-up efforts. Forget the plummeting temperature; when I start having an almost constant supply of homemade cookies  and brownies on hand, it’s all over. There’s no looking back. Summer? What summer?

The Past Couple Months, The Next Couple

Wow, it’s been almost two months since I’ve posted something on here. I swear I don’t eat only ice cream and peanut butter cups, as this blog may lead you to believe. (Can you imagine?) Stick around til the end of this post, I have a little announcement to make…

Roasted Eggplant with Chermoula, Yogurt, & Cauliflower. And a Wedding!

Friends. Let me tell you about this yummy little lunch I made myself and my roommate today. But first,  I need to talk about something. As I write this, I can feel myself sinking and slouching farther and farther down the couch. My brain, my body, my energy…totally checked out.

Spicy Pickle-Brined Chicken

Well, isn’t this just the best thing ever since sliced bread, if you consider that something you can’t imagine life without. When asked what my favorite thing to make is, I can never come up with an answer. No favorite vegetable, no favorite dish. I just get so excited to

Grilled Peach Panzanella

Happy 96th birthday Grandma! 96. Seriously. Let’s celebrate your really-so-close-to-a-century with a Sunday potluck. Family, friends, food, and 96. Can’t get over that number! A beautiful lunch. Hugs and kisses. And a catnap before work. Ahh…vacation awaits me in a few short days, after a fun yet busy 3 week

Summer Succotash with Sorrel Yogurt Sauce

The more I learn about cooking, and really any other subject, the more I realize I don’t know. There are just so many little things I haven’t ventured to try with cooking yet, and so many techniques and little tricks that sneak by me. For instance, if you’re making a
