Sides

  As the last few months have dragged on and we’re clearly in this pandemic thing for the long haul (with not much end in sight), I’ve started experimenting with lots of different flavors to try to keep things interesting. I actually originally bought the […]

  I love a good creamy soup (à la my Roasted Cauliflower Soup), especially when it’s one chocked full of veggies! But DYI you can achieve that same thick, creamy texture without any added milk or cream? It’s healthier, more satisfying, and arguably more delicious! […]

This recipe is another product of my recent quarantine recipe exchange (thanks Joanna!). Her recipe came from bon appetit, but I adapted it so much that I want to share my version with you on the blog, especially since I made it so pantry friendly […]

Bok choy is one of those veggies that is so underrated. I cooked with it once in a blue moon but lately I’ve been on a mean streak. Twice in the last two weeks. But I’m on a mission to change all of that. Bok […]

Whoever told you that cauliflower is “so last year” could not be more wrong. Cauliflower is most definitely still having a moment and this recipe is living, eating proof. I can’t even tell you how many requests I got for it after I posted the […]

  YUP – it’s that time of year again! I’m all set to host our 3rd annual Thanksgiving and I don’t know about you, but I already feel behind. Thankfully, I have my Thanksgiving menu planning guide to the rescue! This outline keeps me organized […]

If I told you that this risotto took only EIGHT minutes to cook, I doubt you’d really believe me. But thanks to the Insant Pot, anything is possible. For those of you who are skeptics about the IP, it’s probably one of the best kitchen […]

  Thanksgiving is only 5 days away but believe it or not, I’m not stressing, in fact I’m actually feeling on top of everything! Turkey is ordered ✅ shopping is done ✅ meal plan is set ✅ – all thanks to my full proof Thanksgiving […]

  This has been a bucket list dish of my mine for a long time. Believe it or not, my first introduction to bibimbap was in my home state of New Hampshire (which, no, is not really known for it’s Korean food) at Street, an […]

These days, fast and easy recipes have become absolutely essential for us. We just haven’t been able to cook big elaborate meals like we used to; in fact, some nights we’re so pooped from juggling the two little ones that we’re lucky to get anything […]

  Back in the day, before I was a country bumpkin, I prided myself in being a New York City foodie. I made it my mission to try all the hot new restaurants in town and would scour the food mags weekly for openings, reviews, […]

  We are in the midst of a crazy heat wave, with no signs of letting up any time soon, which means we’re all desperate for ways to cool off.  Well, I’ve got one for you: gazpacho!  It’s the perfect solution to the “it’s so […]

Father’s Day Weekend is upon us and I’m going to bet that most households are planning a BBQ of some sort, especially if the weather’s nice!  Steaks are on the menu here, but before you get to the main course, there’s nothing like grilling up […]

  “It’s almost that time of year again”… quick, what immediately comes to mind?! After the winter we’ve had, hopefully you answered something, anything to do with “spring” or any variation thereof! But if you went as far as to answer “white asparagus season,” you […]

  Looking for an easy but elegant side to serve when you’re entertaining? These roasted mushrooms (in our adorable mini cast-iron skillet) are the answer! They just photograph so well and look like they easily take so much more effort than they really do.   […]

We love to entertain in our house, especially because entertaining usually means we have an excuse to go all out and cook something really fun and creative. And having a theme, like the Oscars, just takes it to the next level. We loved throwing theme […]

This is one of those super easy sides that save me on a busy weeknight.  When I “invented” this recipe, I winged it at the last minute to serve with our beer can chicken. I used rainbow carrots for that extra pop of color, but […]

I made this recipe with my “chicken on the bone” the other night and it was the perfect accompaniment. I love endives, generally I add them to a salad or serve with a crudité, but I thought I would give roasting them a try.  Just […]

There’s something so comforting about a bowl of cauliflower mash.  While mashed potatoes are billed as the ultimate comfort food, I would argue that cauliflower mash has the edge these days.  You just can’t beat how light and fluffy they taste, especially when you consider how much […]
