Shoyu Ahi Poke

August 24, 2015 6 Comments

You may remember that when Dan and I were in Paris last year, we almost exclusively ate bread and cheese for every meal – not because we didn’t have any other options, but because the stuff was so fresh and delicious. In Oahu, we fell back into our single-food-focused ways, only this time our obsession was with poke instead of bread. Like…read more »

Acai Bowls

August 17, 2015 4 Comments

When we were in the North Shore part of Oahu, we saw acai bowls being sold everywhere. It seemed like every beach we went to and every road we drove on had a food truck or three parked nearby advertising “fresh fruit” and “Acai Bowls”. (Also, shrimp – but that’s another recipe/post for another day.) And every single one of…read more »

Easy Veggie Dip

July 7, 2015 Leave a Comment

Happy Tuesday, everyone! Did y’all have a good holiday weekend? Dan and I did! To get our weekend started off with a bang, we let ourselves get talked into a midnight 5K in the city with our friends Liz and Scott (Liz…you definitely owe me a trip to the suburbs for this). This led to much…read more »

Sunday Brunch: Tropical Orange Smoothies

April 19, 2015 4 Comments

Short post today, folks! It was too nice outside this weekend to be cooped up in my kitchen, so instead of getting fancy with brunch, I just threw together a quick smoothie with fresh mango, banana, carrot and the pineapple I had leftover from making lava flows last week. I’m calling it a Tropical Orange…read more »

Chinese-Style Whole Steamed Fish

February 26, 2015 8 Comments

In case you think Dan and I spent ALL of last weekend drinking, let me assure you that we did not. Really! Case in point: on Saturday, we had friends over for a belated Chinese New Year celebration. I made Momofuku pork belly buns, scallion pancakes (recipe coming soon!), green beans, and a whole steamed fish. My friend…read more »

Confetti Salsa

January 31, 2015 6 Comments

Guys – I’ve got one last post for you before the Super Bowl, and it’s going to be a short one. Partly because I’m feeling lazy, and partly because I was in a rush with my picture-taking so most of them didn’t turn out that well. Oh well – you win some, you lose some. Anyway! Today’s recipe comes…read more »

Skinny French Onion Dip

January 29, 2015 10 Comments

Back in grad school, Dan and his friends decided to make homemade crab rangoons for dinner one night. For some reason they decided to put Dan in charge of groceries. (I say “for some reason” because at this point in his life, Dan’s culinary skill extended to boiling pasta and microwaving leftovers, and he really only went to grocery…read more »

Runny Fried Egg, Kale & Beet Toasts

October 8, 2014 16 Comments

Fun fact: when you eat nothing all day but nachos, pigs-in-a-blanket dipped in ketchup and blue cheese, and hot & sticky slow cooker chicken wings (recipe forthcoming), and then you drink a bunch of Diet Coke and a single glass of red wine to wash it all down, and you are no longer 18-25 years old, you wake up the…read more »

Healthy Chocolate Truffles

October 1, 2014 12 Comments

So, don’t judge me or anything, but these chocolate truffles were the only thing to come out of my kitchen this weekend (and, if we’re being technical/honest, all last week). I meant to make tons of other yummy stuff so that we’d have leftovers for lunch this week – Carla Hall’s hot chicken, kale/beet/goat cheese toasts, pigs-in-a-blanket (for football…read more »

Chunky Chicken Chili

June 30, 2014 4 Comments

About a month ago I was approached by Yummly, asking if I wanted to participate in a campaign for McCormick. Given that 90% of the spices in my house have the McCormick label on them (obviously, I am a fan), and I’ve gone through about a billion bottles of McCormick flavored extracts since I first started baking, it…read more »
