I’m hitting the pandemic trends so late that I guess they are essentially new ones. No sourdough starters here, just an easy, breezy boule that keeps well for four to five days after you’ve enjoyed Honey, oaty, crunchy, chewy goodness. That’s my drag name. No Knead Honey Oat Bread

Savory Dutch Brunch Baby
While the title of this recipe sounds highly cannibalistic, I assure you that it nothing but savory brunch goodness. I’ve seen these massive pancake recipes over the years, but haven’t managed to try my hand at one until now. Huge mistake. Should have whisked this up years ago! It satisfies a slightly carby, indulgent craving…
Swiss Bad Day Pasta
2024 has been off to a strange start to say the least. Here to make that better is the Swiss-est bad day pasta. This recipe easily has ingredients that can be stocked in the fridge so you can pull them out for the cheesiest, coziest, most comforting bad day meal this side of Switzerland. Swiss Bad…
Winter Burrata Salad
Everyone knows the best summer lunch is a gorgeous caprese salad topped with a ball of burrata. But, what to do when it’s not prime tomato season? The brightest winter answer is orange and fennel- so delicious, simple, and a surprise flavor profile for your guests. The inspiration of this salad hails from the gorgeous…
Lebovitz French Onion Soup
After the most incredible onion soup at Chez Fernand Christine in Paris, I vowed to recipe test various versions this winter. Since David Lebovitz steered us towards this excellent bistro, I figured best to start with his recipe. It’s a bit different in that it uses chicken stock rather than the traditional beef, but was…
Ina’s Panko Crusted Lamb
Lamb is always a favorite, but having never made it at home, it was time to give it a go. Naturally, I turned to Ina with excitement. That’s when the gentleman took over the cooking. An excellent chef, he declared the recipe “too simple” which for me is an excellent sign of a first home…
Chrissy’s Cucumber Salad
Happy lunar new year, ya’ll! I don’t know anyone more ready for some cleansing, fresh vibes than this girl right here…which I suppose is ironic being that the holiday was ushered in by a carb-laden dim sum brunch and just wee bit of wine with the girls. There was this cucumber salad that Chrissy Teigan…
Spicy Tuna on Crispy Rice
One of my favorite restaurant appetizers is anything involving spicy tuna and bonus points if its resting on a bed of crispy rice. So, when I found this original Nobu copycat recipe, I knew that this had to be my special new year’s eve dinner. I need to try again on the rice as I’m…
Hashbrown Crust Quiche
Christmas this year saw the introduction of a beautiful new brunch creation that was as simple to make as it is colorful– hasbrown crust quiche! Made in a springform pan, it looks daringly more elegant and complicated than it actually is. She held together quite nicely when sliced! Hashbrown Crust Quiche For the crust: For…
Ina’s Winter Squash Soup
Is it clear I’m coming upon 40… I love soup….this must be a key sign of entering the next decade. This one was so easy, so comforting, and ludicrously simple if you buy squash that is already cubed. It’s definitely one for the winter rotation and if you top it with pretzel bread croutons and…
Ina’s Roasted Salmon Tacos
The ridiculous title of this blog post makes me like this recipe even more than I already do. Of course Ina’s salmon tacos would be straight fire, I’m just surprised at how good something so simple can be. Jefferey certainly is not. I made a few adjustments since I’m just one lady (who hates dill)…
Ina’s Cauliflower Toast
Crunchy, creamy, savory goodness- I can now understand why Cauliflower Toast (with a simple green salad) is one of Ina’s purported favorite lunches. It’s perfect for a cool day as comfort food and cut into much smaller pieces would be an excellent apero snack with a glass of something bold and red. Ina’s Cauliflower Toast…
