christmas cookery
I'm plowing ahead with menu-planning this year, and I've come up with too many things to make for 2 meals. I've been asked to contribute just one side dish and dessert, which is actually harder than just planning a whole meal because I want them to be THE BEST and there are so many great options to choose from:
thanksgiving 2012
November 22, 2012
Happy Thanksgiving! This year, I took a different approach to Thanksgiving. I didn’t host anything, I barely made plans at all and I decided that if I did cook, I wouldn’t be too ambitious about it. As you can see from year’s past, (2010, 2011) I tend to go overboard on planning and cooking. There […]
Adventures in Ice Cream Making
May 25, 2012
I was gifted an ice cream maker earlier this week, right in time for Memorial Day Weekend and the official start of summer. I was so excited to start mixing and churning, but I didn’t really know which recipe to start with, so I turned to the ice cream expert in my family, my lovely […]
recipes of the week
May 21, 2012
We are about three weeks behind on our New Roots Organics bin and in serious danger of our veggies go to waste. We’ve had to let go of a bunch of greens and our strawberries have to be eaten tonight or ELSE. I’ve been so busy lately (more on that later) that our weekly menu […]
recipes of the week
November 10, 2011
There is an absurd amount of food in our refrigerator right now. On Monday we hosted the EPIP Seattle steering committee for a potluck in which we made Spicy Dr. Pepper Shredded Pork Tacos and a fresh spinach and feta salad. The guests heeded my plea to bring something other than just wine or a dessert […]
LEVerage, a dinner party (and tour of SEA)
October 11, 2011
In honor of my philanthro-friend and fellow EPIP Board member Edgar’s visit to Seattle, we threw him a dinner party of epic proportions and leveraged all of our daily deals in order to do so. This was particularly appropriate because Edgar also just launched his own consulting firm, Leverage Philanthropic Partners, so it all tied […]
fall flavors + orange food
September 13, 2011
I am a summer baby and I’m pretty sure that’s why the thought of having to stop eating asparagus and start eating squash kind of sends me into the depths of culinary despair. I’ve had a hard time learning to like squash, and trust me, I’ve tried. I can KIND OF get excited about butternut […]
this is delicious: summer corn chowder with bacon
August 24, 2011
If you’re faced with the “problem” of having just a little bit of everything and a whole lot of corn in your refrigerator, do as I did and make your own “souped up” (get it?!) version of this corn chowder. Summer Corn Chowder with Bacon I discovered this recipe as part of my Iron Chef: […]
how to throw your own Iron Chef party!
August 23, 2011
Here’s my advice if you’d like to throw your own Iron Chef Party – and you should! It was SO much fun. Pick your opponent, choose a date, and craft your guest list! Obviously we had a built-in rivalry as roommates, but you should definitely make sure to battle against someone who you know is […]
Iron Chef: Battle Oats!
August 23, 2011
Sunday was the first in what I imagine will be a series of cooking showdowns between my roommate Heather and I. We hosted an “Iron Chef” competition (three dishes to make and three hours to cook) and were joined by a dozen of our friends who were eager to judge. We solicited suggestions for the […]

Shaved asparagus pizza / carrot, harissa and feta salad / cantaloupe, nectarine, mandarin orange and blueberry salad.
asparagus, a dozen ways
June 14, 2011
To my delight, asparagus has appeared in our New Roots Organics bin nearly every week for the past two months. The presence of asparagus is just about the ONLY thing that makes it feel like Spring in Seattle – it’s still freezing and my new mantra is “it’s never nice until after the 4th… it’s […]
last days of summer recipe dump
September 17, 2010
As always, good things are coming out of our kitchen with all the end-of-summer produce coming through our New Roots Organics box. I made Smitten Kitchen’s peach shortbread for a rainy BBQ at Kendall and Doug’s, in honor of her parents being in town. I think I inadvertently added an extra quarter cup of flour, […]
shepherd’s pie, my way
April 13, 2010
It’s a busy week and I had no idea how I was going to make it through my New Roots Organics bin before I leave for CO on Saturday. I had some ground beef that I wanted to use, and this woman at the grocery store was going ON AND ON about stuffed peppers, so […]
