Asparagus, Fingerling Potato, and Goat Cheese Pizza

Asparagus, Fingerling Potato, and Goat Cheese Pizza

This recipe comes with a pretty serious warning: once you start making your own pizza dough and keeping it handy in the freezer… you will not. stop. making. pizza.  For a long time, I thought pizza was one of those things best left to the 

Artichoke, Spinach, and Ricotta Pie

Artichoke, Spinach, and Ricotta Pie

Please don’t look at my spinach. It’s embarrassing.  I got this beautiful, fresh spinach in my farm share box and I let it linger in my fridge too long.  It’s definitely not bad, but it’s not picture worthy.  It’s tired spinach.

Truffle Garlic Oven Fries

Truffle Garlic Oven Fries

I know I’ve harped on this before, but this time of year always drags on for me, food-wise.  Grocery store produce sections look unbearably pathetic, and the farmers’ market (which I know I’m lucky to have this early) has barely anything better.  Potatoes.  Some limp

Garlicky Hummus

Sorry it’s been a while.  A few days ago, I finally pulled it together and wrote a post about this amazing hummus that I made, well, a long time ago, and just as I finished writing it, I clicked save, and WordPress went ahead and

Chipotle Sweet Potato Chowder

Chipotle Sweet Potato Chowder

Call the doctor! It seems I have a fever.  And the only prescription is more chowder! I’m really sorry for what just happened there.  See, I haven’t slept for a whole night for the past 8 or so months, and among other things, my sense 

Simply Delicious Pot Roast

Simply Delicious Pot Roast

The word “pot roast” can conjure up a wide array of images- anything from thick brown gloppy stuff in a school cafeteria to a glistening boeuf bourguignon served in a fancy French restaurant.  In most of our everyday realities, it’s somewhere in between the two.  I 

Pretzel-Crusted Pork Chops with Orange-Mustard Sauce

Pretzel-Crusted Pork Chops with Orange-Mustard Sauce

What is it about Autumn that makes us all feel so nostalgic?  Something about the sight of school buses making their way down my street and leaves crackling under my feet makes me feel wistful and reflective.  I mean, I know it’s the obvious stuff… 

Madeira Cake

Madeira Cake

So, when I instituted Monday Cake Day, I wasn’t thinking about the fact that sometimes, I wouldn’t want to come home on a Monday and make a cake.  I mean, yes, baking a cake can be an incredibly cathartic experience, and eating a cake can
