I bought garlic at the grocery store, only to discover I already had several heads of garlic at home. I roasted some to make Japanese egg salad, but figured I’d throw in a couple extra heads since I’d already have the air fryer going and I had plenty of garlic to spare. Needing to figure…

Pistachio-Crusted Lemon Bars
Cookbook Club – Sababa We used Adeena Sussman’s Sababa: Fresh, Sunny Flavors from My Israeli Kitchen as our April cookbook. Sababa means “everything is awesome” in Hebrew, and is the spirit Sussman uses in her Israel-inspired recipes. We did indeed have a sunny afternoon meal – go to my Cookbook Club site to experience the…
Lemon Za’atar Cauliflower
One night I threw this Lemon Za’atar Cauliflower together using what I happened to have around. My husband lost his mind for it, saying he would choose this cauliflower dish over roasted pork (and he LOVES roasted pork). So I’ll definitely be making it regularly, especially since it’s also healthy and easy. I used green…

Mushroom Leek Pie
I had such good results with the Yam Beef Biscuit Pot Pie and still had more canned biscuits to use up, so I decided another biscuit pot pie was in order… this time with mushrooms and leeks. I guess it’s a testament to the success of this Mushroom Leek Pie that after eating it my…
Strawberry Shortcake Ice Cream
It’s strawberry season, and I couldn’t resist buying a giant double box of juicy, succulent strawberries from a roadside stand. After eating ourselves sick, I found we still had quite a few strawberries left. I also happened to have a couple leftover cupcakes from a dinner party, and it occurred to me that strawberry shortcake…
Lemon Ricotta Cupcakes
I was gifted a bag of gluten-free flour, and had absolutely no idea what to do with it. I happened to see an article that said gluten-free flour is actually better for making cupcakes with a more even crumb, and since I’ve been wanting to figure out uses for my gluten-free flour decided – what…
Warm Cabbage Salad
We tried a new restaurant for my birthday, and the best thing we had was a Warm Cabbage Salad which consisted of a roasted napa cabbage steak topped with green goddess dressing, parmesan, and crispy anchovies. I have been thinking about that salad ever since, so finally decided to try re-creating it at home. My…
Cauliflower Ragu
Cookbook Club – Six Seasons Six Seasons: A New Way with Vegetables was our cookbook for February. It progresses from spring to early summer to midsummer to late summer to autumn to winter, but since almost all of us were drawn to summer recipes rather than winter ones, we probably should have waited to use…
Ravioli in Pumpkin Cream Sauce
I had some more of the incredible ricotta from my cheese guy, plus a pumpkin that I had pureed after it had served its purpose as a holiday decoration. So I decided to make ravioli with a pumpkin cream sauce. The meal came out so good that my boyfriend said it was like eating in…
Roasted Spiced Carrots with Molasses Yogurt Dressing
I couldn’t stop thinking about the molasses yogurt dressing in my Harissa Roasted Broccoli with Molasses Yogurt Dressing. I decided it would also be good over carrots roasted with turmeric, cumin, and coriander. I managed to get 2 pieces before my boyfriend gobbled up the rest. Guessipe 1 lb carrots, halved lengthwise 3 TBSP olive…
Harissa Roasted Broccoli with Molasses Yogurt Dressing
Still on Mission: Molasses. This time I had the idea that a smoky sweet yogurt dressing would be a great complement to spicy roasted broccoli. It turned out even better than I’d hoped. My boyfriend said, “I would eat this over pizza, and I don’t even like broccoli”. Guessipe 1 head of broccoli, cut into…
