The Thanksgiving Sequel
Our Thanksgiving stuffing turned out so well this year that we made a collective family decision that we needed to make it again on Saturday. Here’s the thing about a truly great Thanksgiving side, on the big day itself, it has to compete for real estate on your plate. You only get a scoop here…

It’s All About the Gravy
We hosted a dinner party last night, and as one does, we stayed up a little too late, drank a little too much, and woke up to a cold, gray November morning feeling a little bit blah. But while the coffee brewed, I chopped some onions and started to sauté them in olive oil. I…

Classic Chicken Salad with Fresh Herbs
I love chicken salad. It is one of my absolute favorite foods and a reliable “go-to” source of protein for me. And like so many dishes I love, there are endless variations to enjoy. I have a few favorites—like this one I’m going to share—but I also love experimenting with new combinations. I really appreciate…

The Mighty Chickpea
As you will see from my last post, we are not vegetarians. However, like many health- and budget-conscious American families, we serve a number of meatless meals in our house. Sometimes this is the plan, but other times—like yesterday, for example—I forget to pull meat from the freezer, and there goes my dinner plan! It’s…

Rustic Braised Lamb with Winter Veg
This is not the prettiest dish I make. But oh my word, it might be the most delicious. And nothing—and I mean nothing—is more comforting on a cold winter evening when you are bone tired and it’s only Monday. It is also one of those great dishes that hangs out on the stove for a…

Creamy Cauliflower Pasta with Cashews and Leeks
Right now, our CSA is overflowing with gorgeous cauliflower, squash, leeks, and greens. Thursday night, I was craving mac and cheese, yet I was staring at a fridge full of fresh vegetables. I simply couldn’t, in good conscience, cook mac and cheese for dinner. I considered tossing some cauliflower into a classic mac and cheese…

Classic Italian Wedding Soup
It has been a very busy week and the cold is starting to set in. Both of those factors lead me to a really lovely, brothy soup this weekend. And Italian Wedding Soup has been on my mind ever since I picked up ground beef on my last Costco run. That beef has been sitting…

Sticky Ginger Miso Chicken Drumsticks
Chicken drumsticks are one of the work horses of weeknight dinners in our house. They’re economical, they’re a blank slate for flavors, they’re healthy, and they’re a fan favorite of two out of my three kids. (What can I say? I can’t always win.) Tuesday night, I paired them with ginger and miso to create…

Tteokbokki Chicken Stew
I love Korean food, but because two of my daughters and I have celiac disease, we can’t easily eat it at restaurants. Because of this I have been teaching myself how to make Korean food at home. Of all the cuisines we cook, Korean is probably our family’s favorite—especially my daughters’. Because they love it…

Saturday Morning Migas
I first learned about migas back in college at Cafe Sienna, the fantastic Mexican breakfast spot that used to be on the University of Oregon campus. The combination of scrambled eggs, crispy tortilla chips, cheese, and spicy peppers was always my go-to order. Over the years, I’ve developed a few solid variations of this dish,…
