APFELPFANNKUCHEN. It’s so fun to say! Try it with me now. APFEL PFANN KUCHEN. See?? If you’ve never had one of these, it’s like a Dutch baby, just full of apples, so it gets puffy on the edges instead of all over. Now, unlike with last week’s pasta, I do […]
This is my “I don’t know what to make for dinner” dinner, one I can pull together in about 30 minutes, with ingredients I usually have on hand, but can pick up on the way home if need be. It’s sort of based on an Amatriciana, though I would never […]
Chocolate! Peanut Butter! Candy! Another throwback food for you all.😊 This is a supremely kid-friendly recipe, something I made when I was young, hailing from the classic Better Homes and Gardens “Kids Snacks” cookbook, published in 1985 (a very good year) and containing adorable gems such as Hay and Gravel […]
First, a disclaimer. This is not my recipe. At all. It is very much just the “Nekisia Davis’ Olive Oil & Maple Granola” that reigns supremely popular on the internet. I first discovered it in Samin Nosrat’s “Salt Fat Acid Heat” (because it’s so good she included this recipe in […]
Yes, that’s right. Despite the impression I may have given here up to this point, I do not always eat baked goods for breakfast. In fact, I usually just have scrambled eggs and toast. Which works fine if you’re only eating breakfast at home once or twice a week. But […]
Homemade brownies and I haven’t always gotten along. I struggled for years to find a recipe that was easy enough and delicious enough to warrant making them from scratch. In fact, they were probably my last hold-out in the “items I am happy to bake from a box” category. Which […]
I have seen so many different versions of this simple dish, proposing all kinds of tricks to get the consistency right: oil and butter, cornstarch, food processers, several cheeses, etc, and I’m here to dissuade you from going down that rabbit hole. All you need is: Pecorino, Black Pepper, Butter, […]
One last summer muffin for you all while the berries are having their last hurrah. I was inspired by strawberry pancakes, something we usually enjoy in Vermont right around this time (insert crying emojis here). This is a better-for-you muffin, made with whole grain flour and sweetened with maple syrup. […]
I felt the need to cleanse a little this week. I don’t mean apple cider vinegar shots and bone broth cleanse (not really my thing)…just eating vegetable-heavy meals that are cooked simply. I generally like to eat healthy anyway, and I think it’s because A. healthy food tastes good when […]
Is it too early to think about the holidays? Did you just yell “YES!” at me? Ok, I mean, you’re probably right, and it’s ok, because while this is a very good holiday chicken, it is easy enough to make on non-occasions too. Or anytime you want dinner to feel […]
