When I was growing up I always hated lentils. I thought they were bland and heavy and gross. And, to be totally honest, even today if someone tells me they are serving lentils I cringe just a little bit. But since discovering the joys of Dal (Indian-style lentils) and lentil pasta dishes, I have started…
This week was a week of kitchen failures for me. I was working on developing three new recipes to share with you in the coming weeks and two of them definitely did not go as planned. The frustration was real. Here I was, working in a time crunch, trying to take advantage of the little…
We finally made it to the real deal days of spring! The days are longer, the sun is stronger, the flowers are blooming, and the energy levels are bursting. I don’t know about anyone else, but this is the time of year when my “senioritis” kicks in and I am deeply tempted to play hooky…
My family has been on a BIG noodle soup kick this winter. Chicken noodle, vegetable noodle, and Asian noodle have all been on regular rotation and I am loving it! Why? Four reasons: 1) they are easy to make in 30 minutes, 2) they are cheap, 3) I can use whatever I have left in…

And yet we also all know that eating home-cooked foods is better for our health, our wallet, and our emotional well-being. So how do we reconcile these…
Each year for Christmas my aunt sends my parents an Irish smoked salmon. If you have never had Irish smoked salmon, you are really missing out. It is a completely different experience from the smoked salmon we eat on bagels.And this year my boys completely fell in love with it. So when we got home…
Many moons ago, when my now-husband and I first started dating, we did the thing that many couples do: we tried to increase our appeal by cooking meals for one another. At the time, neither of us cooked very much, so we both fell back on comfort foods that we had grown up with. For…
Up until very recently one of the things that made me the most nervous in the kitchen was fish. I was terrified of messing it up. It felt so fragile and finicky. I was terrified that I would undercook it and I was terrified that I would overcook it. And, if I am being completely…
