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? In the weeks leading up to the opening of the

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…

Breakfast Obsessions

Bartavelle, you ruined me. So many delicious treats every single day. But you are 3,122 miles away, which is much too far a drive for my daily breakfast fix. I need my avocado toast and my Persian breakfast, so I’ll just have to make them in my kitchen, on the

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.

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

Charred Cauliflower with Pickled Apricots

Cauliflower is one of those vegetables that many of us just can’t — or would rather not — warm up to. It was that bland, overcooked, tasteless nothing that we pushed around on our plates as kids. Like brussel sprouts, it got a bad name, but is actually really tasty

Falling for Annisquam, and Green Goddess Dressing

The North Shore is such an epic place. I find myself getting lost in the beauty of Annisquam lately, a place that although I did not grow up far from, never spent much time in until fairly recently. An incredible place. Beautiful beaches, idyllic farms, and wonderful people throughout the

Hummus & Camembert Tartines with Early Summer Veggies
