Sometimes the simplest recipes are the best balms. Spending more time at home over this last year, we've been cooking nonstop but mostly just the homey, five-ingredient type meals that come together pretty fast and last us for a few nights. Things like fried kimchi and an over-easy egg on rice for lunch (that's right, I'm even at "lazy man's ...

blank canvas breakfast hash, and life lately
Well, life has changed a little bit in the six weeks since I posted here last. I've struggled a bit with what to write here given the gravity of everything that's going on around us. That I'm able to work from home, kiss B2 and cuddle my children (who laugh and shriek and run around and have no idea what's going on), feels deeply unfair in ...
black sesame cookies & cream cupcakes
Last weekend, the folks behind my favorite shop in LA, Now Serving, hosted a bake sale to raise funds for Australian bushfire relief. I've felt at a loss lately as to what to do as the fires ...

sriracha & roasted broccoli pesto
When we were considering whether to renovate, I remembered that Adrianna at A Cozy Kitchen had a great experience partnering with KitchenAid, and reached out with all fingers crossed to see if KitchenAid might be interested in collaborating here, too. Imagine my ...
squid ink pasta aglio e olio
Back when we were wee law students in Cambridge, B2 and I ventured out into the North End for a very Boston evening. We walked the cobblestone streets and picked up cannolis from Modern Pastry in their cheerfully string-tied boxes; we ate them
dark chocolate mochi bit ice cream
This ice cream owes its existence to a younger and more foolish me, who once had what she thought was a genius idea, oh, you always eat brownies way too quickly, maybe if you freeze them, you'll eat them slower, and who then found frozen brownies to be the best thing she had ever encountered and ate them all the live long day until she ...
stir-fried lettuce bowl with ginger fried rice and egg
We have had two big developments of our summer so far. One is that I went back to work (and we can skip discussing that) but the other is much more exciting: We moved! Somehow some people in the world thought that it was okay for this pair of silly babies to actually, honest-to-goodness own a home. Now that we're done screaming in terror over the ...
