Welcome to my new absolute favorite side dish: Potato Salad with Green Beans and Pesto. Not only does this provide a lighter alternative to the heavy mayonnaise potato salads of yore, it couldn’t be simpler to throw together! How is that for a win-win of a potato salad? Basically all…

As promised, here is my companion recipe for Grilled Polenta that I recently served with my Grilled Shrimp with Sundried Tomato Gremolata. Grilling polenta is a great way to liven it up a bit. It creates a crispy exterior to the polenta, similar to the texture you get from frying…
It has been hot hot HOT in San Diego the past few weeks. And when its hot, I grill. I grill things like these Grilled Shrimp with Sundried Tomato Gremolata. I actually didn’t own a grill until a year ago – can you believe that? Dave and I had just…
Anyone else on baked goods overload this quarantine? Don’t get me wrong, I am deeply enjoying my sourdough starter adventures (yes I eagerly and unabashedly jumped on that quarantine trend…) ((see the small crust of bread hiding in the photos?? I made that, guys!!)), but there’s really only so many…
Cast Iron Margherita Pizza, aka possibly the best thing I’ve made this quaratine so far. Sorry for holding out on you until now! And yup, it is another Kenji Lopez-Alt recipe that I absolutely love. (Anyone else adore this guy? His recipes are so so good!) This pizza recipe couldn’t…
I promise I promise I haven’t given up on this blog! For anyone that has been wondering “what the heck” since I’ve gone from my weekly posting schedule to once…. a…. [insert very irregular posting schedule here] arrangement, I promise it’s been for a good reason. Dave and I bought…

As someone that grew up on spaghetti with jarred tomato sauce I think it’s easy to become disillusioned with this meal as something that’s borne of necessity and not something that can be fancy and upscale. Let me tell you, though, that this recipe absolutely…
Summer is officially here! Let’s celebrate by gorging on fresh and roasted summer vegetables tossed with rustic bread. That’s what I was thinking, at least, when I decided to make this Summer Panzanella. Panzanella is a hearty salad that heralds from Tuscany, Italy, and typically is made up of a combination…
Are you ready for this? Behold my latest favorite creation- the mozzarella, tomato, and red pepper bruschetta. If you remember my post on Napa, you might recall that we went to a winery with a mozzarella bar. A mozzarella bar, guys. And the mozzarella dish that I had was so good…
Burrata is one of those fun cheeses that seems so fancy, but is incredibly approachable flavor-wise. If you haven’t ever had the pleasure of trying burrata- first off- go get some!!!! It’s so good! And secondly – the flavor profile is incredibly similar to mozzarella. It’s stretched and pulled thin…
