There are on many occasions where friends and family have a barbecue or cookout and forget to have a vegetarian option. Potato salad is delicious, but can’t count as a meal (it’s too much mayo anyways). I recently saw a video on Bon Appetit for a BBQ beer can cabbage and thought both how ridiculous…
Garlic Rosemary Baked Artichokes
Growing up as a picky eater, I didn’t eat a lot of vegetables. But there was always one exception: Artichokes. I know this sounds weird, but I loved eating them as a kid. Dipping them into butter was probably the main reason. Now that I’ve begun experimenting in the kitchen, I’ve found that I really…
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…
Rosemary Brown Butter Shallots
There are few vegetables that I truly look forward to eating. Yup, pretty weird to hear that from a food blogger. But I grew up as a picky eater and am only now slowly dipping my toes into the world of vegetables and odd foods. I have a rule that wherever I travel, I eat…
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…
Honey Balsamic Roasted Brussels Sprouts
It’s that time of year again where we finally get through the holidays and after eating every sugar cookie in sight are ready to fit back in our jeans. Don’t get me wrong, yoga pants are extremely comfortable but the do nothing to curb my expanding waistline. At least the jeans offer some resistance….
Creamy Onions au Gratin
Nothing is better than updating an old family classic. I made Creamy Onions au Gratin for my Thanksgiving and Holiday meals -an update from the pearl onion recipe my grandmother would make! Let’s talk about one of the least favored vegetables; the onion. Yes it’s often seen as essential in cooking but it’s rarely the…
Honey Sriracha Roasted Brussels Sprouts
I had another one of those days where I went out to eat and ordered something that afterwards I thought “wow I could totally make this too and rock it!” Tai and I meet up on Mondays for lunch in the city and we usually try to grab something easy and eat in the…
Honey Lime Cauliflower
I visited my parents recently and they gave me some honey a friend had given them. I’m not an expert on honey, far from it, but let me tell you that this is the most fragrant and fruity flavored honey that I’ve ever tasted. It’s hard to believe this was harvested not far from…
Heirloom Tomato and Veggie Pie
I dared to try something that I haven’t ever tried before, a savory pie. Now bear with me here. It’s really, really good. So don’t be freaked out by the term “Savory Pie” because while different than its dessert based cousin, it is just as fulfilling. I made a Heirloom Tomato and Veggie Pie because…
