Food & Receipts

Radishes are one of the most stunning vegetables, IMHO, with their scarlet red exterior and snow-white flesh. But aside from a few thin slices on a taco or salad, I never really enjoyed radishes until I tried them roasted. Roasted radishes have a completely different flavor from fresh radishes, and they’re such a simple and elegant side dish....

I thought I’d update my shredded egg salad recipe today, it has been a while! The first time I made a grated egg preparation like this was in 2014 after discovering some exceptional eggs at the Farmers’ Market in San Francisco. I’ve been making variations over the years, and made a version of the grated egg avocado toast...

I love using pesto in recipes because it adds tons of flavor in one fell swoop, which is super important when it comes to busy weeknights. This Creamy pesto Chicken is absolutely stunning on the plate, yet it’s super fast and easy. This is another one of those great “date night” dinners for when you want to impress...

Fried rice is a take-out classic because it’s fast, easy, filling, delicious, and inexpensive, which is everything I want from a meal made at home, too! I love making vegetable fried rice at home because it’s an easy way to use up odds and ends in my fridge, it’s always satisfying, and it’s FAST. Plus, I can always...

I don’t know about you, but I could eat potato salad every day of my life and not get sick of it. But it might be nice to have different flavors of that potato salad from time to time, and this Herby Potato Salad is the perfect light and fresh potato salad option for spring. It has tender...

If you’re looking for low-lift, substantial, vegetarian or vegan sandwich ideas, you’re going to want to make a deli-sized container of this chickpea salad sandwich filling. It’s not only perfect for really great chickpea salad sandwiches, it’s also a favorite filing in lettuce wraps, and a legit snack spread throughout the week. When you go the sandwich route,...

It’s always a good idea to rummage through your pantry and freezer every week to see what ingredients you might need to use up. This week for me it was a half box of pasta, some frozen bacon, and frozen peas that were almost too frosty. So I took my favorite quick meal template (pasta + Parmesan +...

What happens when you’re craving something sweet while watching Anthony Bourdain travel around India? You start Googling saffron rice pudding recipes. And while my pantry wasn’t stocked with the delicious ingredients needed to make an authentic kheer, I was able to make this super simple and delish creamy rice pudding, full of cinnamon, vanilla, and almonds. And I’m...

We had a bunch of cabbage come out of the garden this year. I basically made one thing with it, a feathery slaw made from shredded green and red cabbages, apples, carrots, and scallions tossed with a spicy sesame dressing. If you’ve ever had asparagus or spinach goma-ae at a Japanese restaurant you’ll recognize the inspiration for the...

A couple of years ago I made these adorable little mini pecan pies, and then last year I did a pumpkin pie version, and now I’m doing it with a savory pie! Or a quiche, rather. These cute little two-bite Mini Broccoli Cheddar Quiches make a fun grab-n-go meal prep breakfast, or a great finger food for brunch...
