I just came back from getting my car inspected at the DMV. That is not the headline. Instead, it’s that the guy inspecting my car, who I was in a relationship with for a total of seven minutes told me to relax. Twice. In my defense, I stepped out of the car for him to do…

Kale & Mushroom Baked Barley Risotto
I planned to tell you about this baked barley risotto in November. Actually, if we’re being honest, I planned to write about it, from the moment I decided to start this blog. While many recipes are one hit wonders in our house, we’ve been making a version of this one, a couple times a year,…
Corn & Sweet Potato Chowder (Dairy Free)
It was fall of 2010 and we had lived in our new home for six months. I had collected frames, printed pictures and was ready to hang. For some reason, I could not get three pictures – my attempt at making grape nuts, that didn’t work, but looked like perfectly rustic graham crackers; a pot…
Grated Pasta, Lemon-Chicken Meatballs & Peas in Broth

That they’re a very us type of dinner. That I love running with abandon through the Asian market, grabbing everything that strikes me…

Scallion & Sumac Socca with Mashed Avocado, Olives and Feta
I have a lot of ideas. A lot. In bed at night, as I can’t sleep, I think about my potential businesses, the books I want to write (a cookbook, always, but lately, I cannot get this one out of my head 2017: The Year I Stopped Giving a F*** — if you know me, you are as…
Gorgonzola & Arugula Marinara Sauce
When I was pregnant, everyone asked me what I missed. Wine? Sushi? Jeans with buttons? (A bit, yes and no way.) Everyone also wanted to know what I was craving. With Easton, it was fruit. So much fruit. With Reeve, my answers to both questions were the same: soft cheeses and smoked salmon. All I…
