Somehow, over the span of my 15+ years calling north Jersey my home, I never watched The Sopranos.
Winter
Spring Snow Days (ft. lots of kale and eggs)
Brussels Sprout and Farro Gratin
Last year around this time, I was regaling you all with my Christmastime sausage habits. Don’t worry, the sausage addiction is very much alive and well – I made kale and sausage stew on Sunday night and I have several varieties in the freezer, ready to be broken out at a moment’s notice.
Apple Bourbon Fizz
Creamy Tomato Soup with Ravioli
When my parents moved away from New Jersey, I was sad for a few different reasons. No more quick weekend trips home whenever I was feeling needy, no more easy access to a car, having to find a new dentist, like an adult. Ya know, just some truly devastating inconveniences. But one thing I’m really missing in this cool, fall weather that’s finally arrived, is my favorite soup from Market Basket in Franklin Lakes, NJ – creamy tomato soup with ravioli.
A Pinch About: Dutch Ovens
I was at the beach last weekend for a wedding, when the topic of Dutch ovens came up. My friend Laura, the bride, asked me what she should make in her new Le Creuset when we were at the afterparty. In that particular setting I didn’t quite have a list of recipes to rattle off to her, but right away I shouted, “Ricotta! Ya gotta make ricotta, it’s so easy….but uhhhh, remind me tomorrow,” and I went back to my prosecco split and totally not embarrassing Snapchat story.
Stewed White Beans with Farro
Maple Butter Rum Sauce
Good news, everyone. I’ve successfully gone without sausage for a day and a half now.
Lentil Salad with Kielbasa
Christmas Strata
Merry Christmas, y’all!
I’d apologize for being late but Christmas is 12 days, so really, I’m in the clear.
