Roasted Beets & Carrots with Cumin & Yogurt

Going to keep this short and sweet. I’ll be doing a couple last-minute recipe blasts – yes, blasts – in the coming days until Thanksgiving. I don’t know about you, but I sometimes, you know…procrastinate. Didn’t decide what I was cooking for Thanksgiving until today. As much as I intended

Summer Recap

Annisquam. Maine. Cape Cod. Summer, in a nutshell. You were good to me. Ahhh…until next time.

Cape Cod Camping

We drove the almost four hours in Boston and Cape Cod traffic to get to the camp site. High hopes in mind, knowing our friends, we rolled into the campgrounds, ready for a few days of heavy relaxation, good eating, and plenty of beach and fireside chats. But the campground

maine life. and the perfect soft-boiled egg.

They’re not kidding when they say it’s the way life should be. Genius grilled lobster by my cousin (so tender, sweet, smokey, and briney). Ocean. Boats. Rocky coastline, salty air. Sweet family time.

Carolina Gold Rice with Fiddleheads & Anchovies

It’s been quite some time since I last wrote. A lot has happened since. I celebrated my best friend’s 30th birthday in St. Augustine, Florida: we collected SO many beautiful shells and soaked in some great early beach weather; ate delicious food; and admired the Spanish architecture throughout the city.

Charleston, and a stint at Husk (is this real?)

Friends, it’s only been a week since I last posted, but what a week it has been. I’ve been in Charleston, SC visiting friends and am of the amazing fortune to spend time in the kitchen of Husk! Still can’t believe it. Yesterday was day 5 of my stage in
