sides

hush puppies

October 4, 2020

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 ...

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 ...

red cabbage slaw with peanuts and dukkah

July 31, 2018

We have lately entered the phase that I assume is a rite of passage for all parents, where at least part of our dinner a couple times a week is "whatever our toddler didn't eat."  (This is especially because one of his favorite new phrases is "No-no," which he uses often and with delight.)  All things considered, it's actually a fortunate turn of ...

curried couscous with roasted cauliflower

June 27, 2018

As it turns out, one of the happier features of law school and, now, law firm life is the dependable occurrence of free lunches at least once a week--whether for a talk, or a deposition, or just inexplicably placed in a breakroom and abandoned for three hours (that's okay, I'll still eat it). As someone who will happily consume anything that's ...

salt & pepper garlic fries with jalapeno & cilantro

February 23, 2018

The calendar tells me that it has been more than one month since I was last here, which feels both much shorter and much longer than the reality (as always seems to be the case).  The biggest event of the last month for us, though, is definitely this:  We are now officially the proud parents of a bona fide, honest-to-goodness toddling toddler.  Our ...

super savory greens with lap cheong and garlic

December 6, 2017

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 ...

potatoes with sugar snaps, pickled shallots, & dill

June 7, 2017

Judging from the calendar, we are in the thick of picnic season, or for me, toss-everything-with-mayonnaise-and-maybe-eat-it-at-a-picnic-but-probably-just-straight-from-the-fridge season.  My last post notwithstanding, I almost didn't realize it; after years in New York, where I spent the first third-to-half of each year in an intense and unceasing ...

creamy broccoli salad with almonds & raisins

May 24, 2017

Last weekend we took our first big trip with B3 in tow, up to Berkeley for my brother's graduation.  It wasn't until we were on our way back, winding our way through the mountains on the last stretch of the I-5, that I realized how much Los Angeles has started to feel like home.  This little ham can probably take most of the credit for that (isn't ...

pear, parmesan, & balsamic salad

December 6, 2016

Our Christmas tree is up!  It's the first real, live, non-plastic tree to make an appearance in our household.  We chose it in about five seconds flat last Saturday with babe in tow, in the signature haste of panicky new parents who are still not very good at this "taking the baby out into the world" thing.  (Luke, meanwhile, was just passed out ...
