As delicious as Ina’s Tuscan turkey was, the star of Thanksgiving was her Herb & Apple Bread Pudding. I halved the recipe, but it still made enough to serve about six people, if not more! As we live down the road from Gruyere, it seemed fitting to incorporate it into our Swiss Thanksgiving. This dish…

Honey Roasted Carrots Over Garlicky Yogurt
In a clean out the fridge meal of last week, I made these gorgeous (and exceptionally simple) roasted multi-colored carrots. A pot of Greek yogurt kicking around inspired a base of garlicky, saucy goodness to offset the sweet honey drizzle. And of course, you can’t forget the crunch! Never forget a crunch! It reminds you…
Ina’s Lemon Pasta with Zucchini & Basil
Thanks to a bumper crop of basil (finally!) this year, I froze the end of it in ice cube molds filled with olive oil. It was my first time trying this trick, and for Ina’s Lemon & Zucchini Pasta, my first time cooking with the little flavor bombs. First up, what an excellent life hack!…
Mediterranean Grilled Zucchini Salad
In prime grill season, I’m largely in charge of sides and have been enjoying test driving a plethora of new flavors. This zucchini salad delivered a summery burst of flavor and color. Mediterranean Zucchini Salad
Roasted Onion Ring Chips
This viral recipe is the perfect accompaniment to any steak or summer grill. If you’re like me and love some caramelized onions with your steak, this is even simpler and doesn’t stink up the whole kitchen. Meow. Get chopping. It’s viral for a good reason. Roasted Onion Ring Chips
Easy Barbeque Side: Lemony Couscous Salad
After a weekend of grilling, the star might just have been this very simple, very fresh side- lemony couscous salad. This recipe feeds about four, but make lots as it’s all anyone was really after at our barbecue. Lemony Couscous Salad For the dressing:
Romesco Sauce Not to Forget
Told multiple times that this flavor profile was ‘bangin’ over the weekend, I didn’t want to forget this flavor profile, bright and fresh for summer. While I failed to grab a snap, I’ll be making this again soon. So far, it’s been a great accompaniment to chicken, roasted potatoes, and even as a salad topper…
Ina’s Broiled Tomatoes
Heading out of town with three tomatoes kicking around the house? Me too! It was the perfect excuse to try Ina’s broiled tomatoes which were as easy as they were delicious. Definitely give this one a try with summer’s favorite veggie/fruit. Pictured here on a bed of leftover couscous, because…travel and fridge cleanout. Ina’s Broiled…
Smashing Ina’s Baked Potatoes
It’s that time of year in Switzerland where you’re either not working because you’re skiing or not working because you’re laid up with a broken leg. Either way, all recipes seem to involve an endless rotation of potatoes and cheese. For Valentine’s Day this year I wanted to see what Ina had to say about…
Cold Longevity Noodle Salad
It turns out that longevity is a lot like revenge and is best served cold. This simple dish was a standout of my lunar new year brunch with friends taking it to go and it being the highlight of the following seriously bonkers work days. Save yourself about half of the sauce and prep extra…
Keto Street Cauliflower
This cauliflower is from the streets. The hard streets of Cast Iron Keto brought this idea to life, with some tweaks to the sauciness. The cauliflower grew up with a hard knock life, educated on the on the streets of Juarez. Or just like street corn, but better. Your choice. Either way, it was great…
Gaby’s Pan-Roasted Eggplant with Pecorino
Calling all eggplant lovers… this one is life changing. Eggplant is a mop for oil and this recipe, the eggplants just kept drinking and drinking it up. They were good, but definitely felt like something a heavy-handed Italian grandmother would make. But, if you’re in the mood for an old-school Italian grandmothering, this is for…
