A lot has happened since my last post. I baked something very easy to cope.

Pork chashu, menma, and other toppings to spice up your instant ramen.

This is the unsung hero of a dip-driven party spread.

This dressing is the best thing that I got out of four years in St. Louis. I don’t know even what exactly makes this dressing so addicting. It doesn’t even have msg or fish sauce or anything that makes commercially-made ranch so delicious. But it’s hard to stop after one bite.

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

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.

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

Roasted white chocolate makes the best rice krispies treats ever.

The pantry clearing challenge continues!

A faux recipe “review” (due to substitutions) of Claire Saffitz's sour cream and chive dinner rolls.

Using up leftovers in the name of celebration

A great Paula Wolfert recipe for leftover tomatoes, canned or fresh.

My go-to winter short rib dish.

Thanksgiving leftovers, soup edition

Ate almost all of this quiche in one sitting

I’m happier with the results this time.

Using up my gifted buttermilk, one cup at a time!
