Tomato Tart with Olive Oil Crust Recipe

I feel like a lot of us use the phrases “pre-pandemic” or “before the pandemic” regularly in conversation. For example, “I used to go the grocery store much more before the pandemic.” Or, “the last time I entertained indoors was pre-pandemic!” For me personally, some things have changed and have ...

Sweet and Spicy Carrots with Pistachios and Feta Recipe

There are not many vegetables that I would call evergreen, but carrots are one of them. I always have them in my fridge and they are pretty affordable and durable. Carrots were a pandemic staple for me for all of those reasons so we ate them A LOT. ...

Asparagus Mimosa Recipe

Someone asked me on Instagram live last night what I like to make for Passover, and I responded that I don't have any special dishes that I always make, but I like to keep things modern and seasonal.

How to Make a Braided and Round Challah Recipe

Egg-less Spring Vegetable Frittata Recipe

One of the most common substitutions I am asked about is eggs. Many people are plant-based/vegan; others are avoiding eggs because their doctors told them to; and eggs are one of the most common food allergens. When I offer a sub for eggs, I consider how the eggs are used in a recipe. Are they ...

Cheesy Pull Apart Bread Recipe

Merry Almost Christmas and Happy Hanukkah! I am taking a wee break from cooking, playing games, watching football, and puzzling to bring you a quick new recipe. This cheesy pull apart bread is 100% fun and super delish, although not exactly consistent with the types of recipes I post here. But ...
