More fun with heirloom tomatoes! Hearty enough to fry into a tasty topper for a bed of arugula. Drizzled with a creamy balsamic dressing, this made for a salad so good that my boyfriend (who’s preference is pretty much an all-carb diet) chose it over gnocchi. Guessipe 1/4 cup parmesan 1/8 cup cornmeal 1/8 cup…

Best Burger Ever
I had to pry two pizza dough buns out of my boyfriend’s hands in order to make these burgers, which he resented at first. Until he took a bite of this burger. That’s when he declared this was the “Best Burger Ever”… and who am I to argue? Guessipe shredded parmesan pizza dough buns sriracha…
Truffle Mushroom Pasta
A friend gave me truffle oil, which of course I was thrilled to have! Just a small amount of truffle oil provides so much depth of flavor to a simple mushroom pasta dish. Basil adds a bit of freshness to brighten the richness. Guessipe 1/3 lb rigatoni, cooked to just al dente 1 TBSP butter…
Pizza Sauce
My boyfriend is obsessed with pizza. I got him a pizza stone for Christmas one year, and he has been steadily honing his pizza-making skills by throwing regular pizza parties. My role is to make the pizza sauce. This recipe was one from a friend which I have tweaked to give it a bit more…

Cashew Cream Pasta
My friend showed me how to make this amazing creamy pasta that actually uses cashews instead of cream! I make it all the time simply because it’s so delicious and easy, but as a bonus for some people it’s vegan if you use nutritional yeast seasoning. For those weeknights when you just need to cook…
Garlicky Anchovy Pasta
I call this Garlicky Anchovy Pasta a “pantry pasta” dish because it’s made with ingredients that I almost always have around. Which means it’s fantastic for those nights when you need to whip up dinner, but heading to the grocery store is one step more than you have energy for. The anchovies add umami but…

One day I was eating artichoke dip and had the inspiration that I could use the leftovers to make a kick-ass omelette. Silly me – there were no leftovers. For a long time I kept waiting for the day when I would actually have leftover artichoke dip… and then it finally occurred to me that…
