Soft, Chewy Bagels

You know, when I post things like homemade bagels, I get concerned that some people might get the wrong idea about me.  See, sometimes when I see people that I know, who read my blog, they say things like, “I don’t know how you do 

Pork Chops with Apples, Onion, and Thyme

A lot of quick meals happen in this house.  Have I mentioned that there are TWO tiny little humans here who both need my completely undivided attention, without fail, about twenty minutes before we should be eating dinner?  It’s perfectly delightful I assure you, but 

Kohlrabi and Celery Salad with Dijon Vinaigrette

Hello, Team Kohlrabi!  I’m so glad we’re all on the same page about kohlrabi by now. We are, right?  We all agree that we all love, love, love it and it’s one of our favorite, most versatile veggies?  If not, I’m kind of surprised you’re 

Skillet “Bread Gnocchi”

This is a weird recipe.  I know it.  So much so that for a long time I didn’t consider sharing it with you.  What’s more, I’m pretty sure I got the idea from Rachael Ray.  So half the world knows about it and the other

Herb and Parmesan Foccacia

I’m not what you would call a “camper”. And that sentence, right there, is what anyone who knows me would call an “understatement of the century.” This wouldn’t be noteworthy except for the fact that my husband loves camping.  He dreams of taking family camping 

Creamy Sautéed Beet Greens

I fully expected this recipe to be a disaster.   After buying a gorgeous bunch of freshly picked (that morning!) beets from the farmers’ market, I was once again reminded by my sainted husband that he doesn’t like beets.  After trying to tuck a few 

Arugula and Three Cheese Pizza

For me, arugula is one of the unsung heroes of spring.  It so often gets lumped in with “spring greens” but it’s so much more exciting than any of it’s lettuce-y brethren.  And even though it may get overshadowed by the more illustrious spring produce 

Simple Strawberry Ice Cream

To me, nothing heralds summer like really good strawberry ice cream.  Ice cream is obviously the best summer food there is. (Not open for discussion or dissent, ok? It just is.)  And strawberry is the flavor that seems to whisper, excitedly, “Summer is here!”
