This post is in partnership with KitchenAid. You can find past posts here and here. With the extra time at home these days, I’ve been getting back into the kitchen more than I had been for awhile. Like most folks, we’ve also been going to the grocery store less, and we tend to go with a set list to make things simpler, so that has meant ...
thanksgiving
red curry kabocha soup
This is the second in a series of posts in partnership with KitchenAid! You can find the first here. I'm knocking on wood madly as I say this, but we may--just may--be in the home stretch of our renovations. Our KitchenAid appliances are on the way, the kitchen has not only floors, not only base cabinets, but countertops and upper cabinets ...
honey sesame corn pudding
I am new to corn pudding, but what I lack in history I make up for in fervor. There's a special place in my heart for those dishes that look like sides but are really not so far from dessert, sneaking into the party early (extra marshmallows on the sweet potato casserole, please) and if ever there was one, this is it: The delicate sunshine of ...

super savory greens with lap cheong and garlic
We are now solidly into the magical stretch between Thanksgiving and Christmas, that no-holds-barred span of weeks that I typically use to indulge all of my wildest cookie and hot cocoa and cinnamon roll whims, and yet, much to my dismay, I've spent most of it so far thinking about, not chocolate or candy canes or marshmallows, but vegetables. In ...
sticky toffee pudding with mascarpone butterscotch
I've been meaning to make some form of sticky toffee pudding for at least a few years, ever since a friend of mine first waxed lyrical about one she'd had at a pub near our offices called the Shakespeare. At that point, I'd never had sticky toffee pudding or, possibly, even heard of it, but her description alone had me sold--of a sticky, soft, ...
custardy crème fraîche apple pie
What a strange, hard week this has been. It feels like it has been hard in every sense of the word -- difficult, unyielding. I hope everyone is okay. This is the first of a number of recipes I've had saved up for these first few baby-filled months, and, thankfully, it is so very easy. I think "easy" was going to be my mantra in the kitchen for ...
