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
summer
sweet kale, brussels, and date salad + a new substack
As it turns out, this month marks ten years (a whole, entire decade!) since I first posted a slapdash recipe for bibimbap here on Two Red Bowls. One month away from graduating from law school, wrapped up in a down jacket indoors in a frigid apartment in Massachusetts, when ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
buttercream roses and rose buttercream
Believe it or not, these pretty little buttercream roses were piped by yours truly. For someone who is all thumbs and, at best, has a passing knowledge of how to decorate a cake, this is a feat indeed--and it's all thanks to a dynamo of a friend and her marvelous book,
red cabbage slaw with peanuts and dukkah
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 ...
