Classic Egg Salad Sandwich Recipe
Egg salad sandwiches: either you love’um or hate’um. I don’t recall ever meeting an “in-betweener” on this topic. If you fall into the love’um crowd – there’s strong opinions about what makes egg salad great. Eggs roughly chopped or pulverized into an almost-paste. Mayonnaise-y or dry? Fresh herbs like dill or simple and classic with […]
Creamy Tomato Soup Recipe
There is something so fulfilling about making a big batch of fresh soup and today we’re making my favorite Creamy Tomato Soup. My recipe uses canned whole-peeled tomatoes that are slowly simmered down with onions and herbs that compliment the tomato’s natural flavorful juices. We’ll blend it into a velvety consistency and stir in heavy […]
Grapefruit Sour Cocktail Recipe with Bootlegger Gin
Today we’re making Grapefruit Gin Sours. I’m definitely on a sour cocktail kick after shaking up Raspberry Sour cocktails the other day. Instead of using raspberry infused vodka, we’ll be using a small batch gin from upstate New York. The Rise of Small Batch The boom of the craft beer scene dotted the USA with […]
Thai-inspired Shrimp Curry
In honor of Songkran, the Thai New Year, I’m making a Thai-inspired Shrimp Curry. I say Thai-inspired because although I took a class on Thai cooking, I’m no expert. I don’t have a Thai family recipe or secret curry techniques taught to me by a Thai grandmother. But by learning to balance salt, fat, acid […]
Dark Cherry Smoothie Bowl Recipe

Yogurt Hollandaise Sauce Recipe
Don’t get me wrong, I love classic butter-based Hollandaise Sauce. But, it’s super heavy. When I first discovered I could replace the butter with protein-packed Greek yogurt I suddenly found myself wanting to add Hollandaise Sauce on anything I could. Although this version of Hollandaise is light it doesn’t sacrifice flavor. Most people wouldn’t be […]
Eggs Benedict with Smoked Salmon
Today I’m making Smoked Salmon Eggs Benedict, technically known as Eggs Atlantic. Weather-wise, it’s a warm-ish spring morning so I opened some windows as soon as I woke up and threw some discofunk on my record player since I basically live in the 1970s. There’s nothing quite better than sipping my morning coffee while listening […]
Raspberry Sour Cocktail Recipe
Crafting your own cocktail is the name of the game now that we’re a few weeks into the Coronavirus lock down. And today I’m reminiscing a raspberry sour cocktail I once had in San Francisco. If like was normal and lockdown wasn’t a thing, tonight I would feel like heading to Angelshare in NYC to […]
Easy Cod Picatta Recipe
Cod Picatta is the perfect meal to make for a quick, easy, healthy AND flavorful dinner. I even throw it together for lunch sometimes if I’m eating at home. Sometimes pan-frying cod makes the fillets fall apart, but I’ve found that cooking it over a higher temperature, and covering the pan at the very end […]
Roasted Chicken Thighs with Sour Cherries + Garlic Cloves
Roasting chicken thighs is a bit of an art form, but I promise, it’s super easy to get juicy meat with crispy skin. Getting the perfect thigh result is combination of correct cooking temperature, time in the oven and the right balance of oil to help the skin crisp up without making the dish oily. […]
