Homemade Snickers Bars

May 17, 2016 by AHS

Working on a myriad of projects over the early Sping has pulled me away from sharing  here for too long!  Exciting, worthwhile efforts though, and more on those shortly.  For now I’m glad to be back, and can’t think of a better point of re-entry than these homemade Snickers bars.  In thinking over what to write about them am compelled to loosely quote the late, great Price, who often said he’d prefer to talk less and simply let his music […]

Aromatics-Stuffed Artichokes

March 17, 2016 by AHS

With artichoke season here and the delicious if at times intimidating vegetable widely available, I wanted to share a recipe for stuffed artichokes I picked up a few weeks ago from one of the incredibly knowledgeable staff members at the Bi-Rite grocery store on Divisadero Street in San Francisco.  He not only shared his Mom’s heritage family recipe, but also several prepping and general handling tips, which I’ve been surprised to learn are sorely needed even by some of the […]

Fig & Greek Yogurt Toasts with Almonds & Honey

August 5, 2015 by AHS

I’m happy to say that the contents of our kitchen should be here (in our new home in SF) in less than a week’s time.  That said, we are already going on a longish stretch with no proper kitchen set up to speak of, with all due respect to our car-camping pot, pan, sharp-ish knife, titanium sporks and scrub brush.  So it will be a true joy to unpack our gadgets, utensils, plates, placemats, baking supplies, measuring cups, et al. […]

Aguas Frescas

May 5, 2015 by AHS

I made a batch of this absolutely delicious, light and refreshing drink last weekend in honor of Cinco de Mayo, not to mention the first 80+ degree day of the year (bring it on), and I couldn’t get enough of it!  When I first saw the watermelon and lime based recipe, I figured it’d be a few weeks until we could try it.  But to my surprise and delight, the grocery store was teaming with watermelons!  I dove right in. […]

Monday Make-Ahead with Quinoa, Veggies and Eggs

May 4, 2015 by AHS

This morning, the Monday Make-Ahead resolution came in particularly handy as Paul had to be out the door at 5:30 am to catch a flight.  Which meant that not only did this week’s make-ahead have to be especially fast, it had to be one in which the finishing touches were exaggeratedly obvious as I was not stringing together coherent sentences while prepping said breakfast. Two things I love about this to-go meal.  One, while the night before prep takes a […]

Deviled Eggs Take One

April 7, 2015 by AHS

Deviled Eggs may be the easiest Hors d’oeuver in the known universe.  They are obviously delicious, and fun because you can make them as fancy or low-key as you wish.  They are half make-ahead, since the eggs are hard boiled and may be kept overnight if need be.  And because boiling water and adding whole eggs is a mulit-tasking approved step in this recipe, the prep work for Deviled Eggs can take place as you sit down to breakfast or […]

Breakaway Bars

March 19, 2015 by AHS

Why up until now have I been a little completely reluctant to try making bars?  I think because I didn’t want to cheat on my beloved muffins!  But when I came across this no-bake recipe by Mark Bittman, it struck me as one that could share the space under the cake dome we keep on the counter for baked goods.  While these are a great snack, I would personally not reach for one for breakfast, as they are a little *too* on […]

Sun & Snow

February 20, 2015 by AHS

Lots of sun and snow this week, and hello, COLD.  Curious to see its rare frozen state, I went to check out the fountain in Bryant Park early this morning.  Here it is, looking to me like a cauldron boiled over: The snow/sun pattern all week left a striking visual and had me wondering how it could translate in the kitchen.  When I got home from the frozen fountain outing, I noticed the pineapple I picked up earlier in the […]

A New Game Day Guacamole

February 1, 2015 by AHS

Happy Superbowl Sunday!  Full disclosure, I really love a good football game.  The agility and gracefulness of many players under what appears to be ongoing chaos is what draws me in – watching such a dynamic display of athletics is really fun.  I also admire the positive energy that players display as they huddle together before the next play, the celebration of every victory, large or small, regardless of what’s on the scoreboard.  Plus it’s fun to read about the […]

Citrus Season Snack

January 27, 2015 by AHS

I’ve been feeling pretty good about my commitment to power through first quarter with bright, fresh flavors, plus room for plenty of traditional cold-weather fare.  So good in fact, that last night I checked my Sunrise/Sunset app thinking, why soon it will be light outside until 6:00!  Soon is a relative concept of course, I was reminded as I continued to tap the right calendar arrow until the date when the sun will set after 6:00 for the first time […]

Crunchy and Delicious Sweet Potato & Beet Chips

January 23, 2015 by AHS

A few days ago, Paul and I were eating sandwiches in the car at the airport just before I dropped him off for a quick biz trip.  Anddd there happened to be some kettle-type chips in the car.  I munched on a few and proclaimed, ‘wow, chips can be really good.’  This message was received as though I had just announced that as the Earth makes its journey around the Sun, our planet is accompanied by a round far away […]

Fresh Dill Lemon-Garlic Dip, or, Bright Flavors for a Snow Day

January 6, 2015 by AHS

Happy New Year and Happy 1st Quarter Survival Kick-Off!  For me the winter months can be a little taxing on the spirit/motivational engine at times, but this year I am determined to get through the first quarter of the year with pizzaz and fun.  On the food front, this means more color, more flavor and I hope more inventiveness to get through the dark and frigid days.  (That said, I’m always looking forward to warming comfort food (with a healthy […]
