I can tell spring is here and summer is around the corner, because rhubarb has been all over my Instagram feed. I’ve had bakery desserts with the red celery-like stalk, but I had never made anything with it myself. Everyone else is doing it, so …
I wanted to make a pasta dish that departed from your typical pesto, marinara, or bolognese, and Giada de Laurentiis’s healthy eggplant-based sauce sounded interesting! The original recipe calls for mint, but I thought basil would pair better with a protein. The original recipe also didn’t …
Whoops, it’s May already. Tons of work, the NBA finals, and my own workout/basketball shenanigans have absorbed the last two months, so I’ve been slacking on all things baking and crafts. I did, however, manage to dedicate this past Saturday evening to baking after being …
Life in America feels like insanity at the present moment on so many levels. I took a break from sharing anything here and have been using whatever “me time” to do my due diligence to become a more informed ally to the Black Lives Matter …

Spring is here! The trifecta of the coronavirus quarantine, cold temps, and rain we’ve been having lately has had me giving our oven a workout. This is not the flavor profile that comes to mind when I think of meatballs, but it’s easy to make. …
We’re rounding out winter, and nearing the end of citrus season. Admittedly, Sumos are my favorite by far of the seasonal choices. I find blood oranges too tart to eat on their own, but I love using them in other things (salad dressings, desserts, etc.). …
