My First Shakshuka
Just a quick post today. It’s been a while, and I’ve been cooking a lot, but taking very few pictures. So I’m sharing a rather unimpressive one, but it made for a delicious meal! Hasn’t everyone been talking about shakshuka lately? I feel like it’s on every brunch menu and in every food magazine. That’s not a complaint. I only wish I’d known about it sooner because baked eggs smothered in spicy tomato sauce is something I can really be all about. Isn’t it crazy how some kind of amazing delicious food can exist in the world, and we never hear about it until it becomes and Instagram trend? I’m…

Ina’s Chocolate Cupcakes with Peanut Butter Frosting
Do you ever experience recipe overwhelm? Like, how many different ways are there to make chocolate cupcakes? Obviously, as a certified Type A lunatic, I envision myself finding 20 recipes and testing them all side by side because I want to be sure I found the best one. How can you just randomly point your finger into the ether and choose a cupcake recipe if you haven’t taste-tested it alongside all its competitors?

Ina Garten’s “16 Bean” Pasta e Fagioli
When pasta and soup come together, I’m really very much in heaven. And Ohio, I know I say a lot of stuff about your winters, but you know I’m just messing with you, right? I didn’t mean it. Without Ohio winters, I wouldn’t get so many chances to eat soup, and I really stinking love soup. Now that we’re in the thick of fall with winter fast-approaching, I think it’s time to start using this opportunity to make the best of our miserably cold existences and eat some damn soup. With the return of Netflix’s Stranger Things tonight, I’m gearing up for a cozy night in, and a few consecutive…

Garlic Hummus with Roasted Jalapeños
I’ve been a little bit obsessed with anything spicy lately, maybe because summer’s here. It feels appropriate. Roasted jalapeño garlic hummus is pretty much the perfect solution. I’ve been consuming it at a truly irresponsible rate ever since I came up with it, and now every trip to the store involves stocking up on chick peas and jalapeños. All summer meals should really involve something on the grill. Charring jalapeños is a low maintenance way to create an excuse to be outside by the grill without needing to set down your wine. I don’t care for activities that require me to set down my wine. Personally, I’m enjoying this…
