I’m always looking for new pizza recipes, as homemade pizza is such an easy and versatile meal, especially if you already have balls of pizza dough ready in your freezer. I love mushrooms on my pizza, but had never tried a recipe with portobello mushrooms. Lately I’ve also been loving the flavor that goat cheese [...]

Oatmeal is one of my favorite breakfasts. It’s nutritious, filling, and warms you up on a cold morning. Most often, I make 5-minute old-fashioned oats. Sometimes, though, I make steel cut oats instead. Steel cut oats are less processed than old-fashioned oats, and have a heartier, nuttier, almost chewy taste to them. I think they’re [...]

Pasta and meatballs is one of those classic meals for which you need a great recipe in your repertoire. I know that many recipes call for a combination of meats, typically beef, veal, and pork, to create a rich flavor, but I’ve never been a fan of multiple meats together (or veal, for that matter).

Fish Tacos with Grapefruit and Avocado Salsa If there was one meal that could make me (almost) feel like I was on a beach vacation, it is fish tacos. Probably because I had my first ever fish tacos while on vacation in Hawaii. I liked them so much that we went back to that restaurant [...]

On Tuesday I posted the recipe for this New York Cheesecake, and promised to share this strawberry sauce with you as well. The cheesecake was so good it could almost stand alone, but this sauce brought the dessert to a whole new level. After serving this strawberry sauce with the cheesecake, I still had quite [...]

If you’re looking for the best recipe for a classic cheesecake, then this is it. I am very cautious about calling any recipe “the best,” but I am confident in this case, especially since this New York Cheesecake recipe comes from one of my most trusted sources, Baking Illustrated. The cheesecake is incredibly light and [...]

Fontina Mac and Cheese You know what’s one of the best things about making mac and cheese for dinner? Leftovers for lunch the next day. All morning you get to look forward to a warm, creamy bowl of cheesy pasta. (Plus a salad or some other fruit or veggies to balance things out, right?) This [...]
