It took me until adulthood to discover the joy of blondies. I was always the “I choose chocolate” person in the room, so at any sort of bake sale or potluck gathering, it was brownies or bust. I don’t remember exactly when I started branching out, but I do know […]
Or, the meal my mom would make every year for my birthday, slightly updated. I am nothing if not consistent, and without fail I would request this exact meal for my birthday, every year, until I moved out of my parents house: Angel hair pasta with pesto, and Angel Food […]
Hi, it’s Meghan here, your go-to source for all meals rice-related. Chicken and rice. Lentils and rice. Beans and rice. We do it all! Personally, I am a fan of most grains, but David is fully and monogamously committed to team rice. He grew up on rice everyday, so while […]
Or, almost-Zahav hummus. I haven’t eaten at Zahav, but I do have the cookbook, and everything I’ve made from it has been delicious. The hummus was a revelation. Light, fluffy, airy, the best homemade hummus I have even eaten. The downside: well, it’s a little bit of a project. Especially […]
Have I mentioned how much I love summer fruit? Like, maybe the last time we made muffins together? David was so excited to see peaches in our fruit bowl this week, and then so disappointed when I told him they were for baking. But then…he got to have muffins. Also, […]

Happy Father’s day all! Would you like some pancakes to celebrate? While my mom was indisputably the chef of the family when we were kids, my dad was often in charge of weekend breakfasts. Pancake days were the best-he would pour the batter out in the shape of our initials, […]
Me, when reviewing my posts so far: Wait, have I really not put up a pasta recipe yet? How could that be? I must rectify this immediately. I love pasta, and when it’s cold outside I crave bubbling cheesy pasta bakes as comfort food. Now though, I want something simple […]
If you all haven’t realized it by now, we eat a lot of rice around here. And chicken. And chicken and rice. I love this dish because it feels so different from a typical chicken and rice combo. It is cool, fresh, and satisfying without being heavy. I hesitate sometimes […]
I have a hard time calling a salad dinner. I’m generally a pretty hungry person, so eating lettuce for the biggest meal of the day is a tough sell. Top that lettuce with a whole chicken breast, a heap of mashed avocado, and plenty of cheese, and now I’m feeling […]
