roasted chicken salad

Can we play true confession? I'll go first if it makes you feel more comfortable. My many years of Catholic school have trained me well for this moment. You might want to sit down too. The next sentence might come as a bit of a schocker. I hated meat (read full article)

20 minute meals—pasta carbonara

The last few weeks have been busy ones indeed, and I've found myself reaching into the depths of my pantry and quick-thinking skills to get dinner on the table faster than ever. I'm not vying for bragging rights—just in search of meals that'll make (read full article)

date night mac n' cheese

After 10 years of looking into the Mr.'s eyes during dinner, he is no longer able to share in our daily family meals. Mortgages have to be paid, and while we all do what we have to, not an evening goes by Monday through Friday that I don't stare at h (read full article)

roasted rhubarb jam

I imagine Carrie Bradshaw reacts to Manolos and Jimmy Choos, the way I do to strawberries and rhubarb. I just can't help but leave the farmers' market with an armful of each. 21 jars later, after last week's jamming session, I had preserved a nice st (read full article)

smoky corn & bean "chili"

"Feeling scattered from the neck up but an inner peace in my heart." That my dear friends was my facebook update today. After a week or so of heavy heart and self-doubt, I'm emerging, head held high and ready to tackle the tasks at hand. Ra (read full article)

a whole grain pizza to swoon over

During our early courtship, the Mr., back then the boyfriend, took me to a neighborhood pizza joint on the upper westside. Out of curiosity I ordered a slice of the whole wheat pizza. My tastebuds wondered what they'd done to deserve such an assault. (read full article)

make your own "eggy"

I love starting the day with a good egg dish—especially now that our local Greenmarket is open and the fridge is stocked with Grazin' Angus Acres eggs. My favorite, quick, healthy prep is to poach them, but that "eggy" you see above has b (read full article)

quick & easy risotto

I'm not a fan of reality television. In fact, I've never seen an episode of American Idol. The only real housewives of New York I know are my friends and neighbors. And as for dancing with the stars, well I'd rather be dancing under them with my head (read full article)

parmesan & scallion boule

I don't usually do this. You know, post a recipe that's still in progress. Thing is right now it's pretty darn good. I just want to play around with shape, so I guess it really is ready to move from my kitchen to yours. I've been making bread and the (read full article)

gnocchi: a love story

I've been promising this recipe for some time, and you've all been so patient. It just wasn't 100% until today. Just about an hour ago, in fact. I finally got these exactly how I wanted them. The taste had always been there, but getting those darn gr (read full article)

smoky cannellini bean & red kale soup

I must confess, I'm going a bit bonkers. Today will be the fourth day in a row I have not cooked. It is not out of choice. I'm away for work at the 44th Pillsbury Bake Off. Today, as contestants literally march into the cooking area— apparently the (read full article)

homemade corn tortillas

I'm the poster child for reading labels before buying anything. Truth be told, though, quite often it makes supermarket shopping a daunting task. I've become compulsive, and nothing enters my cart without a scan of the ingredients. I also know a lot (read full article)

Orange & Sesame Stir-Fried Tofu

Last week was a blur. No kidding, folks. I just had to look in my calendar to see what I actually did. How did life get so busy that weeks suddenly seem to fly by? It's the same with kids. Lately I find myself staring at IRP wondering how she's possi (read full article)

lentil burgers + crispy oven fries

The sun is shining. Since I'm convinced I run on solar energy, this is a good thing. We may be getting some wet weather tomorrow, but for today, I will soak up the sun. I'll let it radiate and recharge me for this busy week ahead. Right now I'm doing (read full article)

lentil-ricotta "meatballs"

Ever have the feeling your best wasn't good enough...even when you know you gave it all you had? When can you feel good about just letting go? That was the feeling I walked away with today. I've been a caretaker most of my life. I saw things kids sho (read full article)

preparing dry lentils

I'm stressed and it seems almost insurmountable this week. Our tax appointment with the accountant is imminent and this is where my non-organizational skills become an issue. There's lots of paperwork to be coordinated and receipts to be calculated. (read full article)
