Cauliflower leek soup
I won’t pretend that this is a delicate or pretty soup – but it is hearty and delicious and a pretty fantastically healthy substitute for the potato chowder that it resembles. As a vegetable, I feel that cauliflower gets a pretty bad reputation because it is seen as bland and tasteless, but I’ve been using … Read more
Strawberry yogurt mini muffins
Much of the time, my inspiration to bake something on a particular day comes from something in my fridge or cupboard that I don’t want to have around anymore. Normally it’s a half empty bag of chocolate chips or a package of Tim Tams where if I don’t put it in a baked good I … Read more
Mini quinoa broccoli pies
In my never-ending quest to find new methods of working quinoa into dishes, I came across this funny little recipe on a Polish blog that google had to translate into English for me. I wasn’t sure if some of the words were really correct, but I took what I could from it and voila, a … Read more
Polenta, spinach, and pumpkin slice
Do you ever run across recipes in random magazines you are reading in the doctor’s office or bookstore or something and just want to rip out the pages? This happens to me all the time, but in this particular instance I think I was actually in a doctor’s office reading a women’s health magazine or … Read more
Chewy egg-free brownies
Recently, a rock-star colleague of mine went to London to run the London marathon and I obviously needed to give her a send off gift. She can’t eat any eggs, so this provides a bit of a challenge since the vast majority of baked goods do involve eggs in some shape or form. I eventually … Read more
Mini spinach and feta frittatas
People, these little frittatas are a miracle in egg form. They are SO GOOD. You know I love a recipe when I feel the need to make it again immediately when I’m not even done eating the first batch. I don’t normally crave anything that is not chocolate after about 10 pm, but I … Read more
Chocolate mousse
When I had friends over the other week, I wanted to make an elegant looking dessert that was a change from my normal cookie/brownie routine, so I was delighted to find this recipe. It is seriously ridiculously easy to make (you just need to make sure you have an electric mixer), requires only 4 ingredients … Read more
Asian fusion at Coda
I was fortunate enough to get to travel to our Melbourne office for a couple weeks in a row for work. I love Melbourne for a lot of reasons, one of the main ones being its incredible restaurant scene. I was so excited to get try out Coda, a restaurant I’d wanted to try the … Read more
Spinach gnocchi
When I saw the recipe for tomato basil sauce, I knew I wanted to make a pasta to go along with it, but I sadly don’t have a pasta maker, so my mind went immediately to gnocchi. Gnocchi starts from a mashed potato base and is incredibly easy to make. There are all sorts of … Read more
Tomato basil sauce
It’s been too long since I last posted, but it just didn’t seem right to be posting random recipes about food and my normal little life over here when such utter tragedy was taking place in my beautiful former hometown Boston this past week. Now that the scariest part (hopefully) is over, I breathed a … Read more
