 Having lived in New York for the last four years, Gennaro and I have spent many a Saturday and Sunday hanging out at local bars to watch our hometown football teams play. For those who are wondering: no, Detroit Lions games are not generally nationally broadcast. Shocker. And when Michigan football games are broadcast on the [...]   It’s two recipes for the price of one today, as I just had to follow-up my tempeh tacos with an option for taco salad as well. I made this salad last night, and Gennaro and I both really liked it. Like the tacos, you can add any toppings — vegan cheese, guacamole, sour cream, salsa, or [...]  Over the last 3 1/2 years I’ve visited the Union Square Greenmarket probably hundreds of times, which means I’ve passed a certain artist on my way to the market almost as often. This artist is one among many stationed in Union Square, but I’ve always been especially drawn to his colorful, vibrant prints. To my mind, there are [...]  I’ve been making a version of this slaw for as long as I’ve had my food processor. Between testing batches of cakes and biscuits, it’s nice having a go-to veggie dish to even things out a bit. This is one of those recipes that I never make the same way twice. Sometimes I just shred carrots and beets [...]  When you watch as many cooking shows as I do, you tend to become familiar with the standard jargon that gets tossed around during the course of a given episode. There’s the “make sure to wash your hands very well after handling chicken!!” That one’s an oldy but a goodie. Then there’s the obligatory “al dente” definition [...]  If you’re not new around here, you may have noticed a new addition to the site conspicuously lurking in the sidelines. Hm. What’s that link to Amazon products doing there? Well, after over a year of posting my recipes, listing my favorite, must-have ingredients and crediting those cookbooks that have inspired me along the way, I [...] 
Not only have I been really into fresh mint lately (see: mint chocolate chip ice cream), but I’ve also been on a bit of a parsley kick. I’ve always loved tabbouleh, but I’ve recently been enjoying parsely in cole slaw and romaine salads. To me, it’s a wonderfully fresh and detoxifying ingredient. [...]  It’s been a busier-than-expected week for me, from traveling back to Michigan for my bridal showers to returning to New York to reorganize the apartment to accommodate my new shower “swag.” The past few days have involved several trips to Bed, Bath and Beyond, The Salvation Army for drop-offs and a complete overhaul of our kitchen [...]  Few things make me happier than beautiful, sunny Saturdays. That is, unless that beautiful, sunny Saturday happens to be the same day I set aside to write my 13 page memo for Animal Law. While I didn’t get to enjoy the weather today, I did enjoy this spring-inspired green goddess dressing on my salad tonight. It almost made [...]  Ironically, while I was in the midst of testing my 4th batch of streusel bars, I actually got hungry. I was craving something light and clean to contrast the sweet and buttery bars. I usually make a jicama salad with mango and mint. But grapefruit is in season and mango is a little harder to find [...] |
