Last month I was feeling like I’ve been in a breakfast rut so I googled healthy breakfast bowls and came across a surprising amount of recipes for chia seed pudding. I’ve been eating this all week and like it so much that I’m sharing it with y’all. I am probably late to this chia seed game because I thought cha-cha-cha-Chia seeds …
If the month of March’s slogan is, “comes in like a Lion”, I think January’s slogan should be, “comes in like a slap”! Let’s face it, we just finished almost two straight months of gluttony; Thanksgiving dinner, Thanksgiving leftovers, Christmas cookies, multiple holiday parties and feasts (more leftovers) and don’t forget something lavish for NYE, too! Now all of a …
Let me disclaim: I am an American self-taught home cook (not an old Persian lady) and this is my quick version of a tasty khoresh. What is Khoresh, you ask? Khoresh is the Persian equivalent to a French braise. Persian cooking is complex, typically with a lot of exotic ingredients, but I’ve found Khoresh Karafs to …
Thanksgiving tidbit #1 that you didn’t know about me: I hate cooked carrots. Like, nope, no thank-you, I only like ’em raw. I can remember being six years old and secretly palming my mom’s cooked carrots under the table to Brandy, the family golden retriever (sorry mom). Leave it to Ina Garten to make cooked carrots not only palatable, but so downright …
Baked doughnuts are definitely not fried doughnuts but basically eating a doughnut for breakfast is like eating cake for breakfast so everyone still wins. This particular doughnut is in fact called a cake doughnut, meaning there isn’t any yeast involved. You can totally be eating doughnuts in roughly 30 minutes from beginning to end and …
I feel like we have just gotten into the swing of all this heat and suddenly the temps are (sort of) dropping, the days are getting shorter and Baby P is this new upwardly mobile, vocal little human. I feel like we have eaten a lot of awesome things this summer that I was lax on posting about, because, well, LIFE. This refreshing, …
The Compost Cookie® is my first attempt at a Christina Tosi Milk Bar recipe, but it will not be my last. I really want to try her birthday cake recipe (complete with funfetti sprinkles and birthday cake crumbs!) but figured I’d first cut my teeth on something as simple as her cookies. Simple. HA. This recipe is …
The greatest gift I’ll give to you this Fourth is to tell you to save your leftover pickle jar juice and make quick pickled onions with it. This is a recipe that isn’t even a recipe – it’s more of a recycle and repurpose with a re-mazing end result. You’ll need a saved jar of …
Waaaaay back sometime last year I can recall seeing a recipe for salt cured egg yolks in one of my magazines. I remembered thinking; “I need to remember and try this!” and then promptly forgot all about it. Fast forward to last week, where Lindsay posted this “how to” video on Instagram and I knew I needed …
I’ve got strawberry fever and the cure is to put them in EVERYTHING! This fruit-infused tea is a refreshing and summery Memorial Day treat well worth the 24 hour wait! Cold-brewed fruit-infused tea is great for using up all the weird tea left behind by our visiting parents. They buy different tea each visit yet never drink it because they …
