On Grief and Baking

In November, my 35 year-old niece died suddenly and unexpectedly, and it has been devastating for our family–especially for my three young nephews (her children). I, a childless woman of a certain age, find myself raising three young boys as we grieve and navigate our new normal. I find that baking or cooking can be a soothing way to navigate…

Talkin’ Funny: Kitchen and Life Lessons from My Mama

My mother has been gone so long, she seems like a figment of my imagination. Almost seventeen years. Seventeen years is a long time. On the days I grieve the most, I can smell her down-home cooking. On my lowest of days, I can still hear her voice. I always…

Sunday Supper Series: Spinach and Artichoke Mac & Cheese

Cooking·Recipes·Sunday Supper Series·Writing

OK, first things first: This is technically not mac and cheese because, truthfully, there’s no mac–as in there’s no macaroni. Wait, what??

French Lesson: Pomme Frites & Aioli Recipe

Recipes·Writing

There are few things more satisfying than hand-cut fries (or pomme frites as our beret-loving, ketchup-hating friends across the pond call them).

Cooking·Recipes·Writing

Like most of the meals I make at home, this salad is simple to make. Seriously, preparation could not be any easier. I will mention, however, that the most important thing you need for this salad is not an ingredient but a tool–a mandoline to be specific. While you have to…

A Minimalist Summer Dinner: Vegetable Tian

Cooking·Recipes·Writing

When I started this blog almost three years (wow, has it been that long?), I remember thinking that the only successful way to create a food blog was to post recipes. So, that’s what I did and, a mere six months into blogging, I was bored and frustrated. Why? Because I rarely…

My British Brekkie: Soldiers & Eggs

Cooking·Recipes·Writing

Breakfast is my absolute favorite meal of the day; I really could eat it any time of the day. Brunch at noon, brinner (breakfast for dinner), or sometimes at 3 AM–you name it. Like famed molecular gastronomy chef Wylie Dufresne, I seriously love eggs. It’s a borderline obsession; a breakfast without eggs…
