I like to have fun with the holidays and use them as an opportunity to make something fun and new sometimes. This year, I went with a Moroccan-inspired Christmas menu. I couldn’t decide whether I wanted a cold salad or a hot salad. Because spinach […]
I don’t often roast vegetables on the side. I cook so many vegetarian recipes as it is, that adding more vegetables on the side almost seems superfluous. These Tahini Roasted Carrots & Cauliflower are the standout dish this Christmas. It’s one of those recipes where […]
I’m from the West coast and grew up with crab aplenty. Lobster we didn’t have, though! And since now I live in Wisconsin and neither is plentiful, I’m branching out. Especially because one of my local grocery stores sells live lobster. I also like to […]

Yes, I did indeed make three different types of cheesecake for my birthday this year. And no, I will absolutely not apologize for it. It was absolutely delicious! None of the cheesecakes were bad. They’re all variations of my favorite New York Cheesecake from The […]
