Roasted Tomato & Pancetta Pasta

[half][/half][half-last][/half-last][half][/half][half-last][/half-last]

If you follow me on Instagram, you know that I love my garden. Even this year, when it hasn’t been that productive (I blame the early heat waves and the incredibly dry summer), I love going out to check on my plants every morning. It’s hard to put into words the way my garden makes me feel, but I figure other people feel the…

Miso Cream Cheese Toast with Crunchy Vegetables

[half][/half][half-last][/half-last]

I was going to post a pasta dish this week – it’s really good and summery but still creamy and light – but I just couldn’t bring myself to suggest that you turn on both your oven and your stove. I don’t know about you, but we are in the middle of a heat wave. It’s another heat wave, or maybe it’s the heat wave we’ve kind of been having all summer despite a…

Israeli Couscous with Asparagus and Snap Peas

[half][/half][half-last][/half-last][half][/half][half-last][/half-last]

There is that time of year when all you want to feed yourself is fresh, crunchy, cold (or maybe room temperature) food. The time when you are drinking more cold beverages than you thought possible. And when you are going to backyard gatherings or picnics in the park. That time of the year is now and all I want are things…

Restaurant Review: Snacky Hour at Dame

[half][/half][half-last][/half-last][half][/half][half-last][/half-last]

You know you like a place a lot when, every time you go out to eat, you immediately put it at the top of your list of options. Or when someone asks for recommendations and it is your first suggestion. Damehas quickly become this for me. There are sensible reasons: it is a pleasant 25-minute walk or 5-minute drive from my…

Weekend Finds 6:30:18

It has been a while since I wrote a weekend finds post! I already have a handful of go-to recipes and ingredients for this summer that I wanted to share with you. Do you have any favorite summer recipes or restaurants you’re digging? Send them my way!

Rhubarb Custard Cake

I’ve made this cake twice now and here are the things I like about it:

Rhubarb

It takes no time at all

It is so easy

Spring Pea Blintzes

I’m going to be honest folks. It feels a bit challenging to write about summer and my garden and produce when the world is falling apart. But here we are. I know, pea blintzes can feel trivial – they do to me too. I can’t spend 100% of my waking hours reading articles and calling…

Rhubarb Blondies

[half][/half][half-last][/half-last][half][/half][half-last][/half-last]

A little while ago, I went to lunch at one of my favorite cafés(which, disclaimer, is also owned by my dear friend) with Jonah and another friend who was in town. After we finished eating, we were waxing poetic about their brown butter miso cookies. These cookies are quite possibly my favorite cookie of all time, and I do…

Warm Lamb and Lentil Salad

[half][/half][half-last][/half-last]

I have never really liked lentils. When I was young, lentils and beans both had this texture (I think from cooking them into oblivion until they became mushy and grainy) that I just couldn’t stand. And so I stopped eating them, simple as that. Mexican food became a slight challenge (back then, it was because I didn’t like beans, now it’s because I can’t eat…

Gluten-Free Rhubarb Poppy Seed Bread

[half][/half][half-last][/half-last] [half][/half][half-last][/half-last] This spring has been flying by. Every time I think “Those flowers won’t bloom for another few weeks,” it feels like they open up the next day. Baby plants are coming up in our garden already. Can you believe that? The spring rains are dousing Portland, but with that comes the lush greens and bright pastels, the mildly…

Quinoa Bowls with Roasted Vegetables

[half][/half][half-last][/half-last][half][/half][half-last][/half-last] As I recover from my lack of cooking, I am easing back in with my favorites, my go-to’s, and things I realize I should have shared with you. I think it was around Thanksgiving that I first had some variation of this bowl. It’s a simple equation, really, and one you’ll find all over the internet. Cook a grain (or combination…

Carrot Ginger Dressing

[half][/half][half-last][/half-last] When I was younger and we went out to a sushi restaurant, my parents would make us order a salad. This salad was usually mostly iceberg lettuce, topped with a neon-orange clumpy dressing, and I loved it. I loved how crunchy and bright it was. I hadn’t really thought about that dressing until a year or two ago when Saveur‘s recipe for it popped up on my…

Peanut-Butter Filled Chocolate Cookies

[half][/half][half-last][/half-last] To say I have been feeling uninspired would be an understatement. Ever since our fridge stopped working 2 months ago (it was finally replaced. That’s correct, we were without a working refrigerator for almost 2 months) I have just not been itching to be in the kitchen like usual. I think of a recipe and start to research, and I feel like I see it in twenty…

Rooibos Tahini Ice Cream

[half][/half][half-last][/half-last][half][/half][half-last][/half-last] A week before Christmas I almost cut off a large chunk of the tip of my thumb. I won’t get into the gory details, but here’s what I’ll say: don’t rush, and be careful when it comes to the combination of frozen produce and very sharp new knives. Ok? The next day, our refrigerator broke. It took two days to get someone to come…

Restaurant Review: Brunch at Expatriate in Portland, OR

[half][/half][half-last][/half-last] Brunch in Portland is an event. Choosing a place, deciding whether the wait is worth it, picking a dish off the often expansive menus. So I always appreciate finding restaurants that aren’t packed and have smaller menus where every dish looks like a star. Such was the case when, on a sunny Sunday, Jonah and I decided to walk to Expatriate. Usually a bumping…

[half][/half][half-last][/half-last] Marion Cunningham’s Yeasted Waffles: You have mouths to feed, and this recipe makes roughly 13-15 waffles, depending on your waffle iron. Yes, you have to start them the night before. But it’s worth it for the airiest, crispiest waffles in existence.

Farro Stuffed Delicata Squash

[half][/half][half-last][/half-last][half][/half][half-last][/half-last] There are meals that sit in my head for a while. Rolling around, popping up every now and again, asking to be made. Some of them never come to light – either I can’t figure out what it’s missing or what it needs to make it pop, or maybe I think it’s a really original idea only to search the internet and find a handful of…

Miso Caramel Apple Cake

[half][/half][half-last][/half-last][half][/half][half-last][/half-last] We decided not to go to a pumpkin patch this year. I have some regrets, but mostly we wanted to spend our time doing things other than driving half an hour to a patch just to pick a pumpkin, something we easily could have done at our local grocery store. I’ve been really impressed by the homes in our new neighborhood.…
