Secret Ingredient Chili

October 19, 2019

There’s a reason only two letters stand between ‘chilly’ and ‘chili.’ Chilly weather signals the start of chili weather. Around this time every year, when I hear the radiator click on and I wake up to see my dog snuggling up a little bit closer than usual, I know it’s time to take the big…

Fresh Summer Tomato Pasta

September 11, 2019

Like every other sane person in the world, I spend all summer waiting for cooler weather to roll in. September is special to me, for more reasons than that. I never really enjoyed school – especially college. It was the unwarranted start of my relationship with depression and anxiety. Up until I graduated from college,…

Cauliflower Rice Tabbouleh with Feta

September 7, 2019

Sometimes people tell me that I should write a cookbook for dogs. And I say that’s silly! Dogs don’t have opposable thumbs! Then I’m told to take the snark down a notch. I tell these people that, while I do have a dog, she is not an ordinary dog. If anything, she’s an entitled white male that…

Tomato Avocado Salad with Za’atar Croutons

August 24, 2019

Panzanella is to the salad of the summer as that new song with Billy Ray Cyrus is to the song of the summer. Nothing like a poignant analogy to get the weekend started, am I right? What I mean is this – once you hear that song, you can’t stop listening to it. Once you…

Spicy Oven Roasted Tomatoes with Yogurt

August 2, 2019

Sungold tomatoes are one of Mother Nature’s most generous gifts. It is summer’s organic jewel. I’m not entirely sure that we lowly humans deserve them. Some people may call them overrated, but some people are idiots. A good sungold tomato is as sweet as it is acidic and juicy. It shines on its own, sliced…

BLT Focaccia

July 19, 2019

Despite the fact that I am a millennial and grew up in the age of Silicon Valley and social media, there are so many seemingly straight-forward aspects of technology that baffle me. I was raised with the internet in the back pocket – literally. Yet, WiFi access on a plane flying at 30,000 feet still…

Baked Polenta with Tomatoes, Corn, and Zucchini

July 4, 2019

This summer is my sixth in New York. When I moved here smack-dab in the middle of July, I lived on the fourth floor of a pre-war walk-up building near the East River. Window A/C units were new to me, as was walking home from the 6 train as opposed to driving home in a…
