Hello! Well, as usual, this summer has felt like a constant series of racing from one thing to the next, but if it's one thing I'm happy to have ticked off my list, it's finally making this corn, miso, & mascarpone pasta, which has been languishing in the back of my mind for far too long. Years ago now, I discovered this magical

supreme soy sauce chow mein
Here's a quick little recipe in honor of Lunar New Year next week. It's true that technically speaking, we should be eating chang shou mian, but it's also true that supreme soy sauce chow mein is impossibly delicious and impossibly easy, and far and away my new favorite noodle dish, so in my humble opinion, we're just fine if we decide to ...
jeremy’s cheese bread (pao de queijo)
A number of Thanksgivings ago, my brother introduced us all to a new cheese bread recipe he'd found. An easy version of Brazilian pao de queijo, it was light but chewy, crisp on the outside but surprisingly stretchy within, gently cheesy and just a touch sweet. For my Chinese family, it reminded us of more of an airy, savory kind of ...
miso brothy beans with greens
At just the right time this past spring, Erin Alderson posted a gorgeous snap of her miso brothy beans on her Instagram and stopped me mid-scroll. Life was crazy, I was partway through my pregnancy with Fiona, and terrible ...
hetty’s chili oat crisp
I have a dark secret.

hush puppies
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
