Weeknight Collard Greens
‘Tis the season, I suppose, but I’ve been running around like a loon the past week or so. It’s hard to keep dinners wholesome and healthful when at the end of a long day all I really want to do … Continue reading
Zucchini Dill Pancakes
I am on a savory pancake kick these days. There’s been batch after batch of my leek and pea pancakes, a (less than stellar) attempt at sweet potato latkes, corn and chive shortstacks ordered at State Bird Provisions. Lately whenever I … Continue reading
Sweet Pea & Leek Pancakes
This was another one of those Goldilocks recipes, where it took a little bit of work to find the perfect fit. I love the pea pancakes at a cool little German eatery nearby, where they serve them with chive-flecked sour … Continue reading
Roasted Cauliflower
Oh, do I love my cruciferous vegetables. Who knows when that happened, exactly, since my six-year old self would shudder to think that a few decades later I’d be making googly eyes at the broccolini and freaking out over kale snacks … Continue reading

Farfalle Pesto with Peas
I’ve made this dish about a million times. It’s one of those go-to standbys I’ve done so many times that I can put myself on autopilot and mindlessly whip it up, the linchpin of the busy cook. Even for a … Continue reading
Swiss Chard Quiche
We’re going full disclosure today: this is not a quick-and-easy recipe. You won’t be done in 30 minutes or less. You’ll need to haul out your food processor, and prep the swiss chard, crack the eggs, and babysit it while … Continue reading
