I’m not much of a baker, but recently I decided that I wanted a more savory version of my Farmers Market Celebration Bread. That bread is great, but it does have a dessert-like feel to it, and I wanted a firmly savory version. But I…
It’s that time of year again, when the zucchini harvest overflows in our gardens, CSA boxes, and farmers market hauls. If you’re like me and have too much zucchini in your fridge, this Sesame Zucchini Bread is a tasty way to use up those excess…
So you know you should eat more salads, but you’re just tired of lettuce. Well, I’ve got great news for you! My Shaved Asparagus Caesar Salad is your perfect spring salad, where the light, crunchy asparagus is paired with a hearty, umami-rich dressing. Exactly what you’ll want when you’re tired of normal salads and are craving something different.
Rhubarb is one of my favorite buys at the spring farmers market. It’s tart, juicy, and a great addition to baked goods, like this Ginger Rhubarb Coffee Cake. Luckily for me, Alaska has an extremely long rhubarb season, so I’ll get to enjoy this all…
I love coming up with recipes to use up kitchen scraps. Often, these things are perfectly edible, but they end up in the compost pile because we don’t know what we can do with them. With a little bit of creativity, however, we can come…
Just before I left for a Christmas and New Year travel marathon, I had a ton of grapefruits sitting on my kitchen countertop, waiting to be used. I hate letting food go to waste, so I had to do something. And that something ended up as this Star Anise and Grapefruit Curd. The result was so delicious, I knew I had to share the recipe with you!
So you’ve got the family together for a big holiday celebration and now you’ve got to plan for breakfast the next day. The last thing you want to do is make an elaborate, crazy breakfast, and you probably also don’t want anything too heavy. It’s…
Can you believe Thanksgiving is already around the corner? I’m on the hook for side dishes this year, and sweet potatoes are an absolute staple at every classic Thanksgiving spread. While the marshmallow-topped sweet potato casserole is a classic, it’s completely loaded with sugar at…
Leftovers have a bad reputation, but all they need is a little love and they’ll transform into something new and flavorful. When you want to make a show-stopping brunch centerpiece, look no further than my Carrot Top Pesto Breakfast Strata. This breakfast casserole transforms leftover pesto into something entirely different and ensures nothing goes to waste.
Don’t let the amount of time it takes for this recipe scare you off! Most of that time is not active, like when the strata is resting in the refrigerator overnight (this is crucial), and if you already have pesto on hand, the bulk of the the effort is purely assembly. And in the morning, all you have to do is put the strata in the oven. Low effort, and high payoff!
Salads seem like something summery, not so much a winter dish. But the great irony of this is that many salad greens and lettuces are at their peak in the cold winter months. But there’s an easy way to make salads a bit richer and…
Can you believe it’s already the end of July? It feels like the Fourth was just yesterday. The summer heat is here, and now is the time to enjoy “no-cook” dinners. More salads are on the menu this week, as are sandwiches and other easy…
