Carrot Cake with White Chocolate Cream Cheese ...

Carrot cake is a quintessential dessert of spring. This recipe is moist slightly sweet, and perfectly spiced. It is paired with a rich and velvety cream cheese frosting.

Avocado and Asparagus Tartines with Basil Pesto

Asparagus is so beautiful this time of year, so I wanted to create a recipe around it. I made some basil and pumpkin seed pesto, and drizzled it on toasted bread with asparagus, avocado, and shaved Parmesan.

Pancakes with Concord Grape Syrup

Because his family is a true-to-the-bone pancake family, I really wanted him to share with me the secrets to making a good pancake, thin and delicate, perfectly browned on the outside, soft on the inside. He gave me a recipe, one that he has memorized. A set of very specific instructions, the right temp, the right amount of time for frying. I followed it to a tee, and sure enough, the pancakes came out the way I had always dreamed they would.

Winter Vegetable Breakfast Skillet

Winter Vegetable Breakfast Skillet

I wanted to create something wholesome and healthy for Ashley, and breakfast skillets are a great way to incorporate lots of delicious things into one meal. This winter vegetable skillet has potatoes, Brussel sprouts, mushrooms, orange peppers, eggs, cheese, and avocado. It is so easy to prepare, and is so insanely delicious!

Massaman Curry with Pumpkin and Chickpeas

Massaman Curry with Pumpkin and Chickpeas

Massaman curry paste is a mixture of different spices, lemongrass, peanuts, onions, and garlic - to name a few. Most of the ingredients are pretty common and easy to find, with the exception of lemongrass. If you can't find it, I think you could probably just leave it out and the recipe would still be delicious.

Buttery Roasted Acorn Squash with Quinoa Stuffing

Buttery Roasted Acorn Squash with Quinoa Stuffing

There are a lot of wonderful nutty and earthy flavors coming out in this meal. Definitely high in the umami department. My mom is coming to town this year to celebrate Thanksgiving, and we are all heading to friend's house for a potluck. I'm definitely making this dish - and maybe for Christmas as well.

Broccoli Rabe and Maple Glazed Salmon Bibimbap

Broccoli Rabe and Maple Glazed Salmon Bibimbap

Bibimbap is probably one of the most well known Korean dishes. There are many variations of the dish, but I prefer mine with marinated salmon and veggies. To this dish, I added some steamed then fried broccoli rabe in soy sauce and olive oil and then sprinkled with sesame seeds, some fresh carrots, red pepper, avocado and green onions for garnish.

Savory Corn and Cheddar Waffles with Avocado

Savory Corn and Cheddar Waffles with Avocado

Sebastian is especially into these savory corn and cheddar waffles. They are fun and kid-friendly, but I also really like eating them myself, so it's a win-win for all of us. I usually make a large batch and then store them in the fridge and reheat over the course of a few days.

Cherry Tomato and Halloumi Salad with Fresh Herbs

Cherry Tomato and Halloumi Salad with Fresh Herbs

After my enthusiastic purchase of many tomatoes,  I decided to snack on the first pint while standing at my new kitchen island with some sliced aged cheddar and a 1/2 empty bottle of rose. Alright fine, there were chips as well. I used the second pint of cherry tomatoes in this delicious seared halloumi salad with fresh herbs.

Today we made @halfbakedharvest fudgey chocolate brownies. It's been forever since I've made brownies, and now I remember why. Brownies are my weakness and there is no question that I will eat this whole tray.
This bowl of creamy cheesy risotto is the ultimate indulgence. I never pass up the opportunity to eat risotto. Rice on its own is pretty good, but when you cook it in a savory broth with butter and shallots and then finish it with cheese and roasted
