Carrot Dijon Soup
As you’ve already figured out, I’m somewhat obsessed with soups. But as you might not know, I’m more-than-somewhat obsessed with mustard. Of all varieties: Dijon, whole-seed, even the fake orangey stuff that’s named after one of my favorite European languages. … Continue reading
Lemon Cookies – With a Variation
Tuesday was my friend A’s birthday, and I wanted to bake her a little birthday present. I was torn between light, flaky lemon cookies and tried-and-true chocolate chip cookies. After all, spring is around the corner, which brings visions of … Continue reading
Vegetables Wellington
The inspiration for this–as you can probably guess–came from the traditional Beef Wellington dish that involves meat and puff pastry. But the end result of this doesn’t really resemble BW except in name. Instead, this is a light dish, fresh … Continue reading

Vegan Walnut Brownies
I hesitated to call these “Vegan Walnut Brownies,” because (though they are vegan) they are also just down-home good. Like, ridiculously good. Like, how-can-vegan-be-this-good good. So, I almost just titled them “walnut brownies,” but then, afraid that it would be … Continue reading

Coconut Chocolate Mousse
It’s almost here: three days until V-day. For me, V-day has always just been another day; I have no strong memories or feelings one way or another. But I realize I’m the exception. Those of you in a relationship are … Continue reading

Gran’s Southern Biscuits
These are southern-style biscuits just like grandma used to make. Literally: this recipe came to me (via my mom) from my grandmother and great aunt. And, besides being delicious, there’s something reassuring in that; though I’ve lived in New York … Continue reading
Pico de Gallo
So it’s over now (congrats Cheeseheads). They’re cleaning the champagne off the Packers’ locker room floor in Dallas. Aaron Rodgers is glad he lives in a cell-phone era (if you don’t know what I’m referring to, you obviously didn’t start … Continue reading
