My brother-in-law visited us for his birthday.

I just wanted an excuse to buy very nice olive oil I saw at the Italian market last time, OKAY?

I think I'm afraid of my kitchen. 

Blueberries + corn, a classic combo.

Paula Wolfert’s chicken dish with big flavor but a boring name

It’s a super forgiving recipe, endlessly riffable, and a comforting hug. There’s honestly no recipe necessary tbh.

I’m starting to see Philly for its charms.

A real cake for Rosie this year instead of the usual meat loaf “cake.”

Low effort, high reward roast chicken (…for people who like to plan ahead, at least)

An easy, fresh, and summery way to highlight fruit.

I can't feel at ease on my own home! 

We moved, finally!

Sesame-crusted flaky pastry, filled with red bean and pan-fried. (Also sweet Italian sausage pastries!)

Figured it was time to write down the recipe after making it dozens of times.

By no means exhaustive or definitive, just my favorite slice of Chicago food culture.

Recreating an old standby from Nordstrom eBar.

Roasted white chocolate makes the best rice krispies treats ever.

Whaddaya know, a whole year spent in quarantine.

Happy belated pi day!
