It’s definitely starting to feel like fall in Maryland. The leaves are vibrant shades of yellows and reds, and I’m loving driving through the falling leaves. It’s sweater weather, and the leaves are starting to crunch beneath your feet when you walk anywhere. Fall is my favorite season. And in the spirit of fall things,Read more
This quick bread is a great way to use up some of the last zucchini of the summer, and mixes in carrots and apple, making a nice tender crumb. I left out the chocolate chips to keep this more of a breakfast bread, and it’s just lightly sweetened. If you prefer a sweeter bread feelRead more
Fall is my favorite season. I love the smell of fall, when the weather is cool and damp. I love the first signs of fall on leaves on the sentinel trees in my childhood neighborhood, they were always the first indicators that fall was really here as the tips turned yellow, then vibrant orange. AndRead more
You know that feeling when you’ve returned from an awesome trip, and your body says “please give me vegetables”? Well that’s how I felt last week when I got home from an awesome whirlwind road trip up to Boston and back. It was a busy weekend with lots and lots of delicious meals and drinks.Read more
I have definitely been in a cooking low spot. My new home doesn’t have air conditioning in the kitchen, and it is totally enervating to even be in the kitchen. So this summer has been an experiment in how to make quick and satisfying meals without having to spend a lot of time in theRead more

This sauce is very fresh, super flavorful, a little salty, and just packed with bright bold flavors. It’s a great accompaniment to meat, like pork or chicken, but would also be great onRead more
Rhubarb is such a unique vegetable. It grows with big leaves that are inedible, but the stalks are a bright red, and are absolutely delicious when cooked (with sugar). Raw rhubarb is intensely sour/bitter. It’s one of those plants that you can’t believe someone figured out how to eat, but I’m so glad the deliciousnessRead more
Easter morning we have a potluck breakfast at my church. This year mom and I debated what to make all week, we wanted something that would be easy to make ahead of time, would be healthy and vegetarian, and couldn’t be too fussy to heat up. So we tried out this recipe I’d printed outRead more
I recently wanted to make my grandma’s orange chicken for Boyfriend, but realized I didn’t have the recipe at his house. While I put out a request for the recipe with my mom and aunt, and I did a little internet browsing and was surprised by how many recipes require deep frying the chicken. ThisRead more
I never ate cranberry sauce growing up. At our house we have both the whole berry kind, as well as the jelly kind that is served still shaped like the can it comes out of. So it always seemed kind of weird to add something sweet to something savory like turkey. But last year IRead more
