I love to feed people delicious, homemade food.
I also obsessively devour cookbooks -- I own loads of them, and each one is marked up with plastic-y post-it tabs, labeling recipes I want to try. My local library also gets very good business from me.
Interests: books, writing, cooking and baking, yoga in 100 degree rooms, traveling, podcasts, journalism, sunshine, fresh herbs, farmers' markets, snowboarding, longboarding, food blogs

Reinventing the game
I was just happy to have turkey. When you’re dining with a vegetarian family at Thanksgiving, it’s not a given. When I heard we were butterfly-ing a 30-pound hunker that had days before been running around a Maryland farm, I was more than a little shocked. But when I saw the thing, when I act...
The red cabbage is so delicious! Same with the kale and chickpeas. I'm going to have to make that soon!

Dinner for one
I've been reading tidbits lately about dining and eating alone. Of course there is a difference between dining and eating as dining connotes pleasure, while the act of eating can take the form of harried face-stuffing, tasting nothing. I taste my food. I'm enthralled with eating. I enjoy goo...
That's fantastic!

I'll make you a cake
Making birthday cakes for friends has become my own little tradition. I'm one of those freaks who enjoys baking just as much as cooking and cooking just as much as baking. From what people tell me, many prefer one or the other. I adore both. My sweet tooth never grew to its full potential, b...
It's quite yummy! I'm sure yours will come out wonderfully.

all Orangette, all the time: Part I
I can't remember when or how I stumbled upon the blog Orangette, but I do recall the many evenings (years ago) that I spent huddled in front of the white screen reading and clicking, reading and clicking. I hunched at the kitchen table, lounged on the couch, and sat up in bed with my laptop w...
Thanks so much, Heather. I appreciate you stopping by! :)

You speak the truth!
And leftovers from the freezer aren't half bad heated up in a toaster oven. Not quite as fluffy as the day they were made, but still scrumptious.

I hop for whole wheat buttermilk blueberry pancakes
Leisurely Saturdays are a gift. The work week is behind you and the free day sprawls in front of you like a dusty back country road. These late mornings beg for pancake breakfasts. I had a carton of buttermilk I needed to use and Heidi's recipe from 101 Cookbooks uses a hefty 2 1/4 cups whil...
Yes, please come over!!! Hope to see you soon!

The pancakes are wonderful! I just had some this morning from the freezer - I popped 'em in the toaster oven and they were crispy perfect!
And yes, Morningstar breakfast patties are better than some other brands for sure.

Nice, Adam. Next you need to make kimchi pancakes!! Sooo extremely delicious.

Kimchi Fried Rice
The road to dinner may be paved with good intentions (something healthy), bad intentions (something naughty), but most frequently it's paved with whatever you have lying around. And in my case, a few days ago, that happened to
Haha, yeah I suppose I do have a pretty big food pantry. There's a perk to living in NJ!! :)

This dinner was built out of a new resolution: save as much money as possible and use up all of the food I have at home. 'Doesn't look too shabby, does it? The meal was quite delicious, especially the pasta -- a concoction I riffed from the Penne with Potatoes and Rocket I saw a few weeks ago...
Thanks for the comment, Stephanie. I'll definitely check those out.

Al di La or Franny's?

A Springy Lunch at Al Di La
Al Di La is one of my favorite restaurants: not just in Park Slope, but anywhere. As anyone who's been there for dinner knows, they don't take reservations and often the wait can be more than an hour long. So going to Al Di La is often a special
Does everyone else think of Amelie?

Hi Steph! I'm so glad this worked out for you and you got to enjoy yummy kimchi pancakes. Mmm, now you're making me hungry for some! :)
I hope to post more Korean recipes soon - please stop by again, so fun to have you!

Simple homemade Korean meal, part 1: Kimchi pancakes
Remember my trip to Korea and all of the delicious food I enjoyed? Mmm, how I miss it. Luckily for me, I live next to NYC so if I get a hankering I roam over to K-town and get my fill. Sometimes, though, restaurant food doesn't quite connect with the longing I'm feeling. I want a home-cooked...
Hi, Alisa -- thanks for stopping by and commenting! This soup is seriously delicious and so easy to make.
Maybe you should get rid of the cayenne you have and buy a new bottle? Sounds crazy!
I don't know if you like spicy food, but I absolutely love Penzey's Spices' chipotle powder. Smoky, spicy, oh so good.

!Andale! Make this Tortilla Soup now
Let's go! Make this soup before it's too hot and sticky outside to want to eat something warm, soothing, and spicy! (Will it ever be too warm for that? Probably Aug. in NYC...) It's Saturday and so sunny I feel like a caged animal indoors, so I'm going to keep this short. You don't need me ...
Haha, funny commenters. Ina's no hippie, and yes, who's got it in for balsamic? I missed that one. I know there are many fancier vinegars I've yet to explore, but I thought balsie was a good ol' basic.
I remember this recipe from Ina's show a while back, will check it out now that it has your reco! Thanks!
Also, as Laryssa, where to get wheat berries?

The Barefoot Contessa's Wheat Berry Salad
There are many words one might use to describe me--"enthusiastic," "smiley," "mildly irritating"--but "hippie" probably isn't one of them. Sure, I may walk around in sandals in the summer, but who doesn't? And true, Janice is my favorite
Thanks so much, Stephanie! It's great to hear my recipes are helping people enjoy delicious Korean food. :)
Please come back and let me know how your pancakes turn out! I don't know if you saw my comment above, but my mom also puts cut up hot dog in hers -- not sure if that appeals to you, but it's pretty delicious...

Thank you, CookiePie! I have to say, the spreadsheet is incredibly helpful. The pasta was excellent and yesterday I made tortilla soup -- So Good.

Hi, Phil-thanks for dropping by! Actually, in an effort to keep something in my life fairly simple, I'm not really imposing any rules on the Home Food Project. Just trying to buy only what I really need and use up all my food at home. I'm sure I'll come up with more creative dishes! Hopefully they'll be as tasty as that pasta...

Hi, Season -It's definitely a great way to make sure you're utilizing what you have. I find myself wanting to go grocery shopping once I've gone through all of my favorite things, but there's still so much to eat! :)
