I’m always trying to find new ways to cook old favorites. This was an experiment to turn creamy polenta into crispy bite-sized gnocchi. It was a summer’s evening and we ate on our balcony, so these photos show my plate al fresco! It takes a little forethought since your polenta has to be room temperature…

Autumn Farro Salad
I’m trying to work out the best spot for photos in our new apartment, so bear with me in the meantime. I didn’t appreciate what a perfect spot I had in the old apartment until I was desperately trying dozens of lighting/background combinations in the new one. Because, let’s face it, it’s all about the…
Warm Squash Quinoa Salad
I feel like I haven’t cooked anything the whole month of December. I know that isn’t true, but it feels like we haven’t had a “normal” meal in a long time. It feels good to start to get back to the routine and eat our familiar and healthy homemade dinners again. This warm quinoa salad…

Sausage and Peppers
It’s Friday night after my first week back to work after two weeks of being out of the office, and that means your home girl was not cooking anything complicated tonight! I feel like I claim that we have “busy” work weeks all the time (maybe they have become the norm, not the exception), but…
Scrambled Tofu Breakfast
What’s better than breakfast for dinner? It’s can be so nice to break up the monotony of the week with the excitement of something unexpected for dinner. Breakfast for dinner signifies an informality of sorts, as if we are getting away with something naughty. As a kid, whenever Mom was out at dinnertime, Dad made…
