Steak and Spinach Pinwheels
On our first Valentine’s together, Chris and I attempted to make stuffed flank steak with sun dried tomatoes and cheese, with a fancy fondue for dessert. The steak roll was so salty it was inedible and I totally messed up the rice that was supposed to go with it… I don’t think we even made [...]

Salmon with Caper Vinaigrette
I wanted to share this recipe up because it’s so easy to make (a lot easier than taking a good food photo when it’s dark out!), and really good. Salmon and capers have always been linked in my mind; my mom always made them together when I was younger, and so many delicious recipes use [...]

My my. I know there have been a higher than normal number of orange-colored soups appearing here as of late (like this and this). But bear with me just one more time because this one is a keeper. For real. Keeper! Yum! This butternut squash soup is so low in calories, and so rich with [...]

I’m not a huge mushroom fan. I like to wonder who first saw a mushroom and thought that it would be good to eat. Especially the kind that grow on… ahem… manure. But Chris loves them, and so I am trying to learn to love them too. This dish is a really good step on [...]

Every single food magazine I’ve gotten this month has featured turkey. Turkey for Thanksgiving. How to cook it, how to serve it, what to serve it with, what to do with the leftovers. 1-2 months of food magazines dedicated to one 2-hour meal. Granted, it may be one of the biggest meals of the year, [...]

Harvest Pumpkin Soup
There was a day, about two years ago, that I decided to scrap the leftovers I had brought to work for my lunch, and go out and get something warm instead. This was unusual, as I don’t like to spend money on lunch, but it must’ve been fate because I ended up at Au Bon [...]

As many of you know, Monday brought some very sad news to both the magazine industry and the food world – both of which are clearly important to me. Publishing conglomerate Conde Nast made the very hard but important decision to close four of their titles, as well as requiring the rest to submit budget [...]

Marcella’s (and Mom’s) Bolognese
Remember how I’ve said that my top 5 favorite foods included pasta bolognese? This is that. And if you make this, your list might change to include it too. This is my number one favorite meal of all time. Seiously people. ALL TIME. Could eat it all day, every day. So it’s a good thing [...]

Broccoli Feta Pasta
So I’ve been getting a lot of great tips lately from Apartment Therapy’s food/kitchen blog, www.thekitchn.com, and when I saw this recipe on there I thought I absolutely had to try it – and conveniently, we had everything on hand already! The ingredients are few and common, but they produce a sauce flavor and texture [...]

Well if the weather is not going to cooperate (80 degrees on Wednesday!?), I will bring Fall into our lives via the dinner table. This weekend saw these yummy chops, pumpkin cream cheese, pumpkin loaf, and our cold(er) weather staple, the ‘family’ meat sauce (more on that to come!). And although I sat outside in [...]
