Healthy, simple, and tasty. This puree is rich, yet light. The perfect side dish.
When I was sick with the flu my friend Matt, a former chef, showed up with a vat of homemade chicken soup lovingly prepared. He and his wife, Nadia had cut the shapes of hearts and stars into the carrots. That soup was love, man.
I like when I find out a recipe is easier than I thought it would be. A few months ago, my friend Ardie told me how much she loved popovers for breakfast as a child, and I thought, wouldn’t it be great to surprise her with popovers for her baby shower brunch. I’d never made them before, and there are lies all over the internet that claim they’re difficult to make. So I decided to try my hand at it, and I thought, this can’t be right! They’re super easy to make.
I love lamb. What’s to tell? This recipe is quick (marinade for an hour, cook for 15), and it’s scrumptious. You should make it as soon as possible!
Once you cut off the skin of the celeriac, it’s really a beauty.
Roasted red pepper salsa is perfect on a chicken breast sandwich, or a nice piece of lamb or steak.
I adapted this recipe from a Barefoot Contessa favorite. It’s one of my favorite recipes to prepare at the end of the summer when the eggplants and tomatoes are bountiful. This recipe yields two servings, but freezes well if you don’t want to eat both.
I used to have trouble with tuna salad because I always did too much to the tuna. I would add lots of spices, or fresh herbs, thinking that more would improve the taste. But it turns out that tuna is one of those simple things that just need a few ingredients to taste scrumptious. There is something to be said about tradition.
