Kumquat and Greek Yogurt Tart

February 29, 2016 by AHS

Here’s a trick I thought of tangentially, when trying to come up with a good use for Kumquats – using Greek yogurt in place of custard in a tart.  I’d been turning Kumquats over and over in my mind, wondering what to do with them.  I’ve just learned that you can eat the skin and all of Kumquats, and they give a kick that leaves you satiated from both a sweet and sour perspective.  Because they are pretty strong, just […]

Mediterranean Fish Tacos

February 14, 2016 by AHS

We have been making these particular fish tacos during citrus season for the past several years.  With all the citrus, especially Meyer lemons, in the house at the moment we’re enjoying them a bit more than usual, and for that reason (so I can look up the recipe conveniently here) combined with the desire to pay tribe to their provenance, I am sharing them here. I first came across this recipe on Food52.com, and it is by a woman named […]

Mushroom Ragu

January 26, 2016 by AHS

I would never go so far as to say that an all-vegetable dish could actually fool a meat-lover, but there are some that I believe would wholly satisfy the most ardent of carnivores, and this is one of the few and far between.  That’s not to say other meatless dishes aren’t tasty  or satiating, just that this one particularly rich, earthy and satisfying.  If he were to come knocking, I would go so far as to serve this Hugh Glass, […]

Turkey Meatballs with Fresh Oregano and Basil

December 21, 2015 by AHS

If meatballs with tomato sauce aren’t the fun weeknight night answer to 36 hours of chilly and constant rain, I don’t know what is.  Not that I’m complaining; aside from how desperately the rainfall is needed here, it’s easily the best cooking weather one can ask for.  And while I love a slow-cooked pasta sauce on a wintry day like nobody’s business, it is Monday after all. An aside before the recipe: as ‘Italian’ as this dish looks to me […]

Black Bean Butternut Squash Chili

December 1, 2015 by AHS

It’s the Monday after Thanksgiving, and this chili is just what the doctor ordered, in so many ways.  This chili is meatless and a welcome dinner after a weekend of unusually heavy eating.  Plus, it was prepared over a week ago, portioned out and frozen.  Pretty perfect for an evening following a day of catch-up, which post-holiday (/all) Mondays always are. This recipe is Paul’s invention, and is a classic example of the make it on Sunday, eat a serving and […]

Intro to Homemade Ravioli

November 19, 2015 by AHS

I love making ravioli.  Love it.  Namely because, it’s methodic and yields a beautiful result (and is therefore to me, relaxing), it involves time-proven techniques, and, I’ll be honest, it’s gratifying when you set down a restaurant-quality dish, both visually and gastronomically, that you’ve just cranked out yourself.  The last part might be the most secretly satisfying because there is a huge secret.  It’s really pretty easy to make.  Since I love it so, I am hereby starting a small […]

Make-Ahead Monday: The Muesli Project

September 21, 2015 by AHS

Since visiting Munich and several small towns in Austria this summer, and being inspired by the phenomenal muesli breakfasts there, I have been on a quest to recreate this Central European staple.  A cross between yogurt with granola and oatmeal, for me this muesli has the kind of magic that makes you look forward to tomorrow’s breakfast when you’re getting ready for bed.   I cannot wait to one day return My Muesli in Munich, a store dedicated to the endless possibilities […]

Zucchini Bread Two Ways

September 19, 2015 by AHS

Since first spying our new home back in June, we agreed that a kitchen ‘facelift’ is in order, and set to locking the project in immediately.  As always when anticipating something I’m excited about, it feels like it’s eons away – when we met with a stone supplier for an updated countertop in early August, it felt like the start date of our project would never come.  Now, it’s a week away!  So in a panic I am baking and […]

Protein-Packed Veggie Burger

September 18, 2015 by AHS

So.  California.  Home to the vegetarian movement in the U.S.  The Golden State whose sunshine and mild climate makes possible remarkable produce all year long.  Hotbed of almost countless sustainable food startups and home to internationally influential chefs.  And place where, to date, my out of home dining experiences have for the most part led to absolutely delicious foods that are as fresh a treat as one could hope for.  Except for, you won’t believe it, shockingly underwhelming veggie burgers.

Barley ‘Risotto’ (with Timesavers and Benefits for Homemade Chicken Broth)

May 20, 2015 by AHS

Lately there is a proliferation of beautiful farmer’s market finds across the Internet and social media, and for good reason – the gorgeous produce of Spring is certainly photo-inspiring!   But I think there is a year-round, unsung hero of the farmer’s market, and that’s fresh chicken.  In addition to tasting noticeably more delicious, a favorite benefit of using fresh, organic, local chicken is the homemade broth that you can make with it, and knowing that the chicken is truly […]

Make Ahead Monday: Rolled Oats with Greek Yogurt & Mixed Berries

May 18, 2015 by AHS

With rain in the forecast today and tomorrow, combined with the particularly warm and humid weekend, this week’s make-ahead presented an unusual challenge in that I wanted it to be cozy-ish but not piping hot.  (We climbed in the Gunks – (New Paltz, NY) yesterday in spite of hot and sticky conditions and the thought of even boiling water for traditional oatmeal was a non-starter while I was prepping this last night!) Here, rolled oats are ‘soaked’ in Greek Yogurt […]

Make-Ahead Monday: Mixed Berry Scones

May 11, 2015 by AHS

Lately I have such a hankering to bake!  Even though the weather’s warming up I just really enjoy it, I think because even amid all the chaos a day (a week, a month, life) can bring, baking requires weights and measures, plus patience, and for me lends an actual sense of calm!  Also, it’s fun to layer new ingredients and combinations on a foundation of general baking knowledge to expand the skill set.  And if I’m being honest, I just […]

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 […]

Chocolatey Chia Pudding with Strawberries & Hazelnuts

April 20, 2015 by AHS

Monday morning means we’re talking make-ahead breakfasts that will start the week off strong without sacrificing flavor or fun, and as such we kicked this week off with Chocolatey Chia Pudding.  By using unsweetened cocoa powder and topping with hazelnuts, we’ve updated what has been flavor-wise for me one of the most life enhancing  foods – Nutella – for a certifiably healthy breakfast.  Along with strawberries, cocoa offers antioxidant benefits, but perhaps even more importantly on a Monday morning is […]

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 […]
