A few months ago I saw this strawberry balsamic flatbread over on Joy The Baker, and pinned it to try sometime, as it looks absolutely delicious. Unfortunately I think I waited a bit too long as fresh berries were no longer available at the farmer’s market (nor were grapes, as the original LA Times recipe called for). Instead, I decided […]


I have a weird thing with Jalapeno Poppers. I love them. I order them out at restaurants whenever I get the chance, and even buy the frozen ones occasionally to heat up at home (or eat frozen, as the case may be. Shhh.) I’d made some fresh a few years ago using Fiber One as […]


This is a great appetizer or basic dish to get the hang of because it can be adapted in so many ways. You could throw an egg in there under the cheese and make this for breakfast, or cook up a few and serve over spaghetti. In a bowl on top of grainy toast, next […]


These muffins are the third installment of work muffins – I really love bringing muffins into work, because I get to try out all sorts of new recipes that I’ve had an eye on, and brand new ones I’ve searched out as well. Coworkers seem appreciative too, which always helps! I’ve sort of made a personal promise […]


Here in Boston it’s been in the 90s for the last few days, so recipes for the grill have definitely been catching my eye. Anything to keep the heat out of the house. After the 4th of July and all the cook-outs and camp food this summer (involving all kinds of delicious meats and rich […]


I read Heidi’s Shichimi Mushroom Rice Bowl post over at 101 Cookbooks a few weeks ago and it’s been on my mind ever since. It seemed like a really easy, healthy dinner which was perfect after a weekend of splurging and Superbowl food. I don’t have Shichimi spice mix, but I had a few things […]


Santa brought me an immersion blender for Christmas, and I must admit, I’ve been going a little crazy blending things. I’ve made a couple really great soups and this is the first of those. This soup was crazy easy and very tasty. However, if I did it again I would use only half the amount […]


Not only is this blog over a year old now, but I just had a birthday myself, and birthdays mean lots and lots of good food (well, if you’re me, anyway). In the last week I’ve had some amazing sushi, Italian, and Mexican, in addition to delicious crepes, and an authentic New York bagel (which […]


Gazpacho

11Jul10

So apparently I blinked, and suddenly summer was here. Seems like yesterday it was May and we were all thrilled at the prospect of a sunny, 70 degree day. Now we’re all cursing the heat and humidity and running up our electric bills, churning out the A/C. The last thing anyone wants to do on […]


This is another delicious winter salad that was pretty easy to make (although not quick), and was great warm as well as cold the next day for lunch. The recipe came from Food & Wine‘s March issue, in two parts. The first part is making the thyme-scented grains (in this case, I used pearled barley), […]
