red curry kabocha soup

December 4, 2019

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

November 14, 2019

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 ...

sriracha & roasted broccoli pesto

November 6, 2019

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 delight when the team said yes! It’s been one of my dream brands for such a long time, ...

squid ink pasta aglio e olio

October 4, 2019

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 on a bench in a park outside Haymarket Station, all shattering shells and clouds of pastry cream, puffs ...

dark chocolate mochi bit ice cream + black sesame fudge sauce

August 13, 2019

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 became the ...

stir-fried lettuce bowl with ginger fried rice and egg

July 27, 2019

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 ...

pork sung no knead bread

May 31, 2019

Well, I had all sorts of plans to post here more often while on magical maternity leave, but those plans seem to have manifested as three months of nothing but snuggling chubby baby cheeks (Clara now giggles sometimes when I do this and it’s the best, thing, ever) and chasing skinny manic toddlers. Oops. And so I’ve been sitting on this recipe ...

a lunar new year round-up

February 5, 2019

Happy Lunar New Year! A snapshot of the new year around here: This prescient lady's comic series keeps popping up on my social media feeds and, as we're heading into the last few weeks of B4's residency in Casa Mama, I have to say she's onto something. B2 has been doing even more around the house with Luke than usual, despite being busier than ...

jianbing strata

December 21, 2018

There is room yet for cinnamon rolls and cookies and hot chocolate on our Christmas morning breakfast spread, and I have plans aplenty to make all of these between now and Tuesday.  But this strata, a little bit eccentric but a lot a bit amazing, has just muscled its way onto the table.  I vaguely recall first learning of jianbing, the street cart ...

  • A little video!  Red curry kabocha soup with @kitchenaidusa’s K400 Blender to get us through the no-man’s-land stretch between holidays and during kitchen renovations.  It’s been slow but so exciting to see our house re-emerge from under tarps and ram board, and the transition has been easier because we’ve had KitchenAid small appliances like this one to tide us over.  All you need to do is simmer a bit of Thai red curry paste with velvety coconut milk until it smells amazing, add in kaffir lime leaves and Thai basil, a little brown sugar and fish sauce, a touch of salt if you want, and blend it all up with roasted kabocha until smooth.  It ends up complex and nuanced, sweet and savory and spicy, in 10 minutes of hands-on time.  The full recipe and more about the K400 Blender is #ontheblog this morning! 📹 AND 🎶(!!) by the most talented @bowl_n2 a bowl_n1 could ever ask for 😭✨❤️ #marksofmaking #sponsored
  • What the first Sunday of December looked like four years ago:  sleeping in and baking 🍪 What it looks like this year:  a toddler doing a dance while eating peanuts, a chubby baby probably napping way too late, a tree hastily and triumphantly purchased (and now, partially trimmed before I decided to sit on my butt and Instagram). Two way more tired, but ever happier bowls. 🎄
  • There is construction just to the left of this and construction to the right 😜but in this five foot stretch only, peaceful fall things making my heart happy. 🍂✨ Happy Friday eve!
  • Honey sesame corn pudding up #ontheblog this morning in the ramp up to Thanksgiving!  I’m a bad child of the South and am new to corn pudding, but what I lack in history I’m now making up for in fervor—a crisp edge but a soft pudding center, creamy but studded with corn, sweetly decadent but just one savory note shy of dessert.  Sesame oil and sesame seeds (borrowed from the sesame cornbread in my book 😬) add a nuttiness and a tiny bit of crunch.  It ends up somehow reminiscent of toasty kettle corn and chawanmushi at the same time, and if you need me on Thanksgiving you can find me with a casserole dish of it all to myself 🌽 Recipe is on the blog this morning!  What do you guys plan to make?  Two weeks to go!! 🦃 #f52wrappedup
  • Partnering with @kitchenaidusa to share a fall pesto recipe #ontheblog this morning!  We’re working with KitchenAid for my entire kitchen and it’s one of the most exciting parts of our renovation 😱 but until the kitchen is ready, I’m sharing a few recipes made with the equally amazing small appliances that we’ve been using to cook in the meantime--like this 7 Cup Food Processor.  More on the blog along with a Sriracha & roasted broccoli pesto recipe✌🏼#ad #partner #marksofmaking
  • The start of my favorite season:  Thanksgiving Side Season. 🤓🤓🤓🤓 Googling Thanksgiving menus from now until the 28th bye!!!!!!! (And also posting this recipe soon 👏🏼)
  • One more birthday this week!! One year after #acommontablecookbook came into the world, I’m still overjoyed every time I see one of its recipes in another kitchen, or when I hear that our multicultural family is like yours, or that a recipe from my childhood is reminiscent of one from yours.  It’s more wonderful than I could have imagined when I began to write this book.  Thank you! 🙏🏼✨
  • Our newly-minted three-year-old. (Wait, what?) Loves saying something wrong just so he can correct us—it’s blue! LOL it’s not blue, it’s greeeen.  Loves ordering “crackuhs” (fries) from the kids’ picture menu but is mystified when broccoli usually appears instead (“where da crackuhs?”) Now knows birthdays mean cake and parties and has been chirping all week, “Lukie birday! Let’s go birday party! Everybody birday!” Is hilarious and maddening and tiring and wonderful, and the greatest, sweetest joy (or, one of two) we could ever have imagined.  Thank you so much for making us parents, Lukaboo.  Big camera smiles courtesy of his favorite person in the world, @bowl_n2 ❤️(more of which are on the blog this morning!)
