Out of the rut: Barley risotto with spinach and sweet potatoes

Out of the rut: Barley risotto with spinach and sweet potatoes

New baked goods are a regular occurrence in our house, but when it comes to dinner, I get stuck in a rut so fast. Try as I might, I just don’t get as excited about savory dishes as I do about sugar. Or butter. Or whipped cream. You get the idea. I know, I know….

Cooking off the Cuff: A Makeshift Pasta Fresca

This probably sounds silly coming from a food blogger, but the more I write about food, the more I realize that recipes are not the be all and end all of cooking. In fact, some of my most successful kitchen moments as of late were born from my pantry rather than a cookbook. Slowly but…

Fine dining à la home: Mushroom and spinach risotto

In every cook’s internal recipe box, there lies a slew of dishes that will never be made for company. Maybe it’s that casserole from your childhood days with one too many cans of mushroom soup involved or that gooey dessert you microwave in a coffee mug. For us, there are the glorious super burritos, which…

Pretty on Pinterest = yummy in the tummy

The old adage says you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, and in most cases that’s super sage advice. I can think of some great books I’ve read that would have been labeled absolute duds if left to rely on their dusty old jackets. When it comes to food, however, the same isn’t entirely…

For the love of tinkering: Easy spinach enchiladas

It’s Friday the 13th! Eep! Fortunately, good eats are always a good idea, even for the most superstitious black cats on the block. These easy peasy enchiladas were whipped up in a flash this week, which was a good deal considering all we had going on. Work, school, baby doc appointment … (shots for the…

Don’t tease the underdog: Fettuccine with eggplant

Don’t tease the underdog: Fettuccine with eggplant

Eggplants are inherently funny little guys. They grow in the garden along with all the other squash-like things — think zucchinis, summer squash, cucumbers and the like — but they’re slightly stranger, quite a bit tougher and decidedly less popular because they look a bit too different. Actually they remind me of little Rudolph at…

Amber’s Magic Salad

Amber’s Magic Salad

Sometimes our love for a particular food isn’t entirely explainable. Maybe it stems from a certain ingredient, the perfect texture or a favorite memory. Whatever the reason, it only takes a single bite to know when something has hit the spot. And once that spot is hit, the food adoration ensues. Amber whipped up this…
