I’m not a vegetarian, nor do I ever plan on becoming one. However, there’s something really nice about sitting down to a big plate of vegetables for dinner.
This is the Balthazar Salad, but a picture cannot truly capture its fabulousness. It has a depth of flavor about it – the different lettuces, the asparagus, the ricotta and avocado, even the truffle vinaigrette – which makes it taste both green and earthy at the same time. It’s elegant, too, the way you dress [...]
The other night I was dying for some pizza. Honestly though, I never have the energy to make dough. So I thought I’d go Euro-style and make some ghetto super thin “pizzas”. If you have a pan with holes in it like this, sweet. If not, maybe you could cook the tortillas on the oven [...]
Yet again, I struck gold at the local farmer’s market by purchasing these lovely mini red potatoes. What’s nice about being able to pick your own potatoes out of a huge mound (instead of paying like 4x as much if someone already picks the mini ones out for you), is that you can choose the [...]
So here’s a really easy side dish. I actually put this on top of my salad one day at work and it was yum! It’s nothing fancy, I just didn’t have much food left so all of these ingredients tasted pretty super together. Start by boiling a serving of orzo or your favorite pasta. Orzo [...]
Share You guys. I’m serious. I don’t mean to brag but these were amazing. I put a junk load of feta on it so the health factor went down a few points, but ya’ know what? I don’t care. It was worth it. I didn’t have much food left in my fridge, but something awesome [...]
Baba Ghanoush. One of those things people seem to keep asking me if I’ve had before. Now, instead of saying, “Babawho?” I can say, “Why yes indeed I’ve had it and it is in fact delicious!” For the record, you don’t have to love eggplant to love this dish, ok? Get a fresh eggplant and [...]
My lovely Slovak friend gave me a small bag of raw garbanzo beans, which I’ve never worked with before. I naturally took this challenge and decided to try to make hummus from scratch! A handful expanded to make a TON of hummus, so a little goes a long way. The canned beans are fine, but [...]
Hmmm, xanthan gum, caramel color, potassium sorbate, calcium disodium, and sulfiting agents… just some of the interesting ingredients found in some store bought balsamic vinaigrette dressings. For about 4 bucks you could buy a bottle of this kind of dressing from the store. But why would you? The balsamic dressing I make is a fraction of the [...]
