Deviled Eggs are something that everyone should know how to make. Plus, if you bring them, you will be the favorite at the party. I’ve customize these with various ingredients in the past. For instance, I’ve made Thai red curry deviled eggs with red curry paste, cilantro and chiles. I’ve also made them with avocado… Read More Classic Deviled Eggs
I’m always lamenting the lack of veggies in our diet. This is totally my fault but I still complain. Our family gets HelloFresh meals delivered every couple of months and I’m always happy to have them because, invariably, they come with a lovely side dish of veggies. One that we had last winter had “creamed”… Read More Easy Creamed Kale
Omigosh, y’all. I made CHEESE. Seriously. I. Made. Cheese. How happy am I right now? Well, not as happy as the first time I did it but this has gotten easier every time I’ve made it and it’s getting better too! I know it may sound daunting but it’s totally worth it if you are… Read More Saag Paneer
So you’ve been invited to another backyard cookout and don’t know what to bring. I stumbled across the most fabulous and EASY recipe last summer. The Mediterranean Baked Feta from Smitten Kitchen was totally decadent. My in-laws and their guests devoured it. None of them are huge feta fans, but when you roast it, the texture… Read More Grilled Feta with Honey and Za’atar
Last year I planned pretty poorly for Passover meals. We had Matzo Lasagna twice which isn’t a bad thing but it showed how little I actually planned. It shouldn’t be that hard, right? Just avoid most grains, eat lots of lean proteins and veggies. Should be a paleo dream week. But for some reason, I… Read More Greek Matzo Casserole for Passover (or any time!)
Ah, Hanukkah. That most festive of Jewish holidays. Now, I know some of y’all may think it’s “Jewish Christmas,” but you really couldn’t be farther from the truth. Although it does typically fall close to Christmas, it is not traditionally a gift giving holiday except in the U.S. and certainly not a major holiday (no… Read More Tradition! Potato Latkes
The Boy occasionally decides that he loves something. And often it’s something I don’t understand. A few years ago, he decided that he LOVED tofu and he’d order it whenever he could. And invariably, he’d end up eating my meal when his wasn’t quite what he expected. Eventually, he realized that, when it’s not prepared well,… Read More Spicy Asian Tofu Noodle Salad
Sometimes I get a great idea. Sometimes that idea is greater than me. Usually it involves a recipe of some sort. And my GOD can I complicate things. I once made a potato skin appetizer that had, wait for it, EIGHTEEN ingredients. And it had a bajillion steps. Those were some damn good potato skins,… Read More The Big Lie – Charred Corn and Chile Dip
A friend of mine recently posted a bit of a rant about breakfast. He had a craving for a croissant and went to THREE breakfast places. All of which opened AFTER 9:00 a.m. which, I’m sorry, if you are a working stiff, is far too late for breakfast. Seriously, if you are going to serve… Read More Huevos Divorciados
I love eggs. I love eggs for breakfast, lunch and dinner. There is something about a yummy, runny egg yolk that sends me running for a crust of bread to dip in it. Last year, I received The Smitten Kitchen Cookbook (Deb Perelman, Random House 2012) as a gift at the holidays. Because my in-laws… Read More A Funny Name, A Wonderful Brunch – Shakshuka
