Happy October, everyone! Andrew and I just got back from our honeymoon in Greece last week (it was so beautiful and the food was delicious—I’ll do a post on that soon! And yes, I’ll share some wedding photos too!), and I’m really excited to be cooking and blogging again. We tried so many tasty foods … Continue reading Apple Pomegranate Harvest Salad
Getting married, be back in a few weeks! October 1 (the wedding day!!!) is almost here! After over a year and a half of publishing a blog post every Single WEEK I’m going to take a break for a few weeks to get married and go on my honeymoon. I’ll be back soon with pictures and a … Continue reading Getting married, be back in a few weeks!
I first tasted shishito peppers a few years ago when Andrew and I were celebrating his birthday at B & G Oysters in Boston. A man sitting at the bar was eating a plate of them and they looked delicious; we flagged down our server and said we’ll have what he’s having. They were just … Continue reading Blistered Shishito Peppers
Things are coming together for the wedding in three weeks, but we still haven’t figured out the red wines! We’re having a pig roast with mac & cheese + veggie sides, so Andrew and I decided to conduct some market research (we are the target market here, so that part is easy!) pairing a few … Continue reading Tasting Wedding Wines
I haven’t blogged about this soup yet because I make it so much that both Andrew and I actually thought it was already on the blog. It’s definitely on our top five favorite staple dinners list (also on that list is Crispy Cauliflower with Whole Cloves of Garlic, which doesn’t sound like it would be … Continue reading Vietnamese-Style Chicken & Rice Soup
As promised last week, here’s my “recipe” for cantaloupe and prosciutto, or in this case “prosciutto,” which was really a Pennsylvania smoked country ham. This is a fantastic easy appetizer, but please only make this with in-season, ripe cantaloupe, otherwise it will not taste very good! I think this month’s recipes might start getting more … Continue reading Cantaloupe & Prosciutto
I just got back from visiting my parents in Pennsylvania for the weekend—it was a quick trip full of antiquing and cooking a bunch of vegetables. We visited several shops in Columbia, including Burning Bridge Antiques Market and Anderson’s Bootleg Antiques, both of which I absolutely loved. I didn’t find any food photo props this … Continue reading Clove-Spiced Red Cabbage Salad with Stilton, Dried Cranberries, & Pecans
It’s another week for extra simple dishes—”recipes” that are composed rather than cooked—good for times when life is overwhelming and cooking, no matter how much I love it, is one more thing on the to-do list. The “helpful” wedding-planning website we’re using tells me that we’ve completed 73 tasks (!!!), and that means that we’re … Continue reading Pears & Pecorino
Wedding wedding wedding wedding wedding wedding watermelon. (Description of this weekend. Not having the wedding, planning the wedding.) Ok, I also got to do a photo shoot in which I photographed a person instead of food, and it was all very Brooklyn, in a warehouse and everything. There were freight elevators, dusty leather suitcases, rusty … Continue reading Watermelon Jalapeño Cilantro Margaritas
I’ve really lucked out in life in that I haven’t ended up with a picky eater for a partner. When I want to order steak tartare, kale salad, pâté, stinky cheeses, and funky wines, Andrew is right there with me. He’s not allergic to gluten, shellfish, dairy, or peanuts. He’s definitely not vegetarian. He even loves … Continue reading Mushroom Mélange + Poached Egg on Toast
