Egg rolls so packed with flavor you don’t need a dipping sauce- making them the perfect party snack. Fried or baked, these crispy egg rolls are jam-packed with green vegetables and, wait for it, here’s the genius part, a secret cream cheese layer that adds flavor and structure. Plus a prosciutto bonus round. Your guests […]
Not too sweet and loaded with blueberries these muffins, if I’m honest, are really just my favorite cornmeal pancakes made into easily storable/snackable muffin form. Looking for a more straight up fruit muffin? Try these strawberry ones instead (You can sub out blueberries 😉 I grew up on the west coast so I was raised […]
A simple side, delicious with coconut curry seafood chowder or with any Asian inspired main course. This asparagus came from Mexico because by February buying local kale and collards has become repetitive, boring, blah. I’m ready for spring, for asparagus, strawberries, tulips. For a few days it seemed spring was just around the corner, short […]
In an effort to stay relevant I made the most instagrammed cookie of the past year into a heart shape- the week before valentine’s day! In other breaking news, this morning we had avocado toast (I know avocado on toast, crazy right?) with an egg on it. The part of me that saw Nirvana in […]
Spiced Apple Bundt Cake w/maple cream cheese frosting I love apple pie, and pumpkin pie (and key lime pie, blueberry pie, cherry pie, and pie! pie! pie!) but as the time of leftovers approaches I’ve come to appreciate a dessert that gets better on the second day and is still really good on days three […]
Cast Iron Peach Clafoutis
A soft vanilla scented batter, buttery crisp around the edges and loaded with sweet summer peaches.
This Zucchini bread with fresh blueberries is what I packed for an unexpected trip out-of-town in the middle of my garden’s summer bounty. Not too sweet, zucchini bread moist and tender, and bursting with fresh blueberries, perhaps a bit messy for a flight but totally worth the mad flurry of baking up the perishables I […]
Fresh Strawberry Biscuits with Basil Butter Biscuits, tender and buttery: strawberries two ways- roasted, sweet and softly perfumed and fresh, tangy, bright and perfectly balanced with just a hint of finally it’s summer fresh basil. These delicious biscuits are what happens when you want to bake strawberries in something but not something sweet, no muffins or […]
Flat bread not flatbread and not quite focaccia this umm bread is a riff on my go-to flatbread, the Afghan Home style Naan from the wonderful Flatbreads and Flavors Cookbook. The yogurt adds depth often missing in breads without an overnight proof, tang might even be too strong a word, it’s the ingredient that adds […]
Light and airy with ribbons of dark chocolate swirled in citrus. A soufflé baked in an orange, perfect if you don’t happen to have ramekins lying around the house. Perfect even if you don’t know what a ramekin is because these aren’t hard to make, the most difficult part is getting the orange out of […]
