Holiday meals are centered around that one main dish. But I’d try to argue that there is a food in a supporting role that is not just equally important, but maybe even better than the main dish. And that is the bread or roll. I’ve partnered with Great Midwest Cheeses to make delicious…
Honey Roasted Figs with Burrata
One month since we left Brooklyn, three full weeks in California have now come and gone and life is starting to fall into a routine. Our boxes are unpacked, furniture built and the obligatory stressful trip to Ikea has been made twice. For both Tai and myself, we are almost at a moment where we…
Creamy Herbed Ricotta and Asparagus Puff Pastry Tart
Asparagus was always one of those vegetables that I would avoid growing up and I’m not sure why because I really love it now. But as a kid you look at it and see that it’s weird, it’s shaped differently, it makes your pee smell and anything that’s in the realm of weird, you just…
Brown Butter Parmesan Asparagus
You guys! Spring is here!!! There were daffodils blooming on my street, which are the official sign of spring. There were even fresh veggies at the Farmer’s Market, which is the truest sign that spring is here to stay and that there won’t be any more freak snow storms (hopefully!). With fresh produce starting to…
Leftover Ham and Potato Soup
We are finally within a week of CHRISTMAS!! And this past weekend we got snow, it might even be a white Christmas after all! Yes I’m geeking out, but this is my absolute favorite time of the year (Basic? Yes. Sorry about it? NEVER). This week because I still had leftovers from our ham…

Roasted Mushroom Gnocchi with Cream Sauce
Mushrooms and I have a love/hate relationship. I love the taste of mushrooms but often hate the consistency. Nothing is worse than having rubbery mushrooms on a pizza or overly oily mushrooms. BUT I have found that roasting mushrooms not only brings out the flavour but has an amazing consistency. When I made my Roasted…
Creamy Pumpkin Mac and Cheese
I’ve resisted the pumpkin craze thus far and have only posted a few pumpkin flavored recipes before this, but I think I’ve finally gone to the dark side after this one. I’m not your average city girl freaking out over the Starbucks PSL or bulking up on pumpkin scented candles at Michaels. And I honestly…
Pear and Camembert Crostini
It is coming. FALL is coming. The temperature is still well above average and as I’m writing this in the 80s but the leaves have begun to brown and fall here in my corner of Brooklyn. At this point, I am ready. Bring on the sweater weather because I’m over the heat! While…
Three Cheese Summer Squash Tian
Recently one of my coworkers told me of this great French dish that was new and amazing. It was a great way to cook summer vegetables he said. It ended up he was talking about a tian, which although nothing new, is something that I had stumbled upon recently and had peaked my interest….
