Loaded Mac and Cheese
As an extroverted introvert, I couldn’t be more grateful for the few times we’ve snuck away to our Vermont hideaway these last few months. The limited internet kept us off of our technology, and we spent the days surrounded by the soothing effects of nature. Our son, who is now one (!), enjoyed sitting in […]

Instant Pot Chicken, Mushroom, and Rice
On the eve of a new decade I sit here celebrating that which closes and the many ways that it will leave indelible marks on all to come. I’ve never been a fan of ‘top ten’ lists – and always find creative ways to avoid that topic when it comes up at dinner parties, but at […]

Chicken Cacciatore
I feel so lucky to have friends that love to come over and cook with me. Well, since L was born it’s been more like “for me” but hey, that’s what good friends are for! My friend Ellen came over recently and suggested we cook up one of her family’s favorite dishes – chicken cacciatore. […]

Turmeric Lentil and Veggie Soup
Ever since we first found out we were pregnant I’ve been looking forward to this weekend during which we spent a full day doing postpartum freezer meal prep! A few of us have done this before for other friends who are having babies and they’ve reported back how helpful it was to have meals on […]

Wandering the forest, saw in hand, we inspected each tree from top to bottom, eventually selecting our gem. Once home we filled our mugs with warm hot chocolate, turned on holiday tunes, […]

Zoodle Primavara
This past weekend one of my best friends, Carolyn, married the love of her life and it couldn’t have been a more perfect event! My heart is full after a weekend dedicated to their partnership – past, present, and future. This picture embodies how much fun we had throughout the whole weekend (that’s me on […]

Oven Roasted Haddock and Mushrooms
Fish remains somewhat of a mystery to me. While I love the fact that fresh fish is plentiful here in Boston I’m terrified to cook it myself! This is confirmed by the fact that in over a year and a half of cooking and posting over 140 recipes I’ve only made fish FOUR times. A […]
Cauliflower Topped Shepard’s Pie
Happy Pi Day! In honor of this amazing nerdy holiday (and St. Patricks day right around the corner) I’ve made a healthy shepherd’s pie that uses cauliflower instead of potatoes and is filled with beef and lentils. I first made this beef and lentil shepherd’s pie with the traditional potato topping and it quickly became […]
