I think it’s safe to say that the zucchinis have won. Dan and I are officially sick of the stuff — we’ve eaten zucchini in some form or another every single day this week. Roasted, mainly, but also sauteed, mixed in with scrambled eggs, and cut into strips for fries. These zucchini cakes were a…read more »
Crab Rangoons
So last week I made crab rangoons for the first time. We were in Boston for 4th of July weekend, and one of our friends invited us over to make sushi. This, of course, meant crab rangoons were on the menu too. And crab cakes. And peach margaritas. I dunno, it made sense at the…read more »
Scallion Pancakes (Cong You Bing)
Any time Dan and I get Chinese delivery, we make sure to get an order of scallion pancakes and crab rangoons. They are equally delicious, but I always feel kind of bad eating (and loving) crab rangoons. I mean, they’re fake Chinese food! As a good Chinese person I feel like I should turn my…read more »
Guacamole
Cinco de Mayo isn’t until tomorrow, but I’ve already got Mexican food on my mind. This means, as is usually the case when I have Mexican on the mind, that I’m jones-ing hard for guacamole. Lots and lots of guacamole. Why guacamole? Shall I recite its merits for you? There are too many to list!…read more »
Focaccia
OK, can we all take a moment to reflect on the fact that I successfully handled yeast today with 100% success? For the first time in almost a year full of botched bread-making attempts, everything that was supposed to happen, happened. The yeast foamed; the dough came together and then rose beautifully; and the bread…read more »
Chinese Dumplings (Jiao Zi)
Hey, remember when I said I was going to make jiaozi and baozi and tons of other Chinese goodies for the New Year? Well that didn’t happen. I meant to do it, I really did! But first I had to cook for my Superbowl party, then Valentine’s Day snuck up on me, and I had…read more »
Hotdog Sundaes
You know what the worst kind of day is? The worst kind of day is when you’re hungry after a long day of doing absolutely nothing, and you shuffle over to the fridge for sustenance only to realize that your leftovers are unappetizing, you’re not in the mood for pasta, and everything else…read more »
Wonton Cups with Spinach and Mushroom Ricotta Filling
Happy Superbowl Sunday, everyone! And…happy 1 year anniversary to my blog! To celebrate both momentous occasions, I spent the better part of the afternoon cooking: crab quesidillas, pizza dip, fresh guacamole, and…wonton cups with spinach and mushroom filling. Why wonton cups? Well, I got really into cooking-themed books last year, and these cups were mentioned…read more »
Crab Cakes
Dan hates grocery shopping with me. He says that no matter what I have written down on my shopping list, and no matter how many times I say that “this is gonna be a real quick trip, I promise!” I always end up meandering down the aisles and walking away with 50 extra things “I…read more »
Oven-Fried Pickles
In lieu of the southern-themed dinner with the Summer Supper Club, I decided to make some fried pickles to snack on throughout the meal. I’ve only ever had fried pickles once before, but I found them to be absolutely delicious — crispy, salty, sour — and totally addictive. Like pistachios, they are impossible to stop…read more »
