Last weekend I made two dips for a party: one high brow and one low brow. I love both so I’m sharing them with you! The first is a goat cheese and ricotta dip from Giada de Laurentiis. Don’t be scared by goat cheese – it’s good. My friend Erin served this at her apartment [...]

Homemade Pesto
Posted in Cooking, tagged chicken, pesto, recipe on August 2, 2010 | 2 Comments »
Pesto is delicious. Pesto is beautiful. Pesto purchased from the store is WAY overpriced. Make it yourself in under five minutes. For real, yo. Oh! You need a food processor. If you don’t have one, you can come over and use mine. You just have to leave me half the pesto. It’s only fair. I [...]
BEST DRINK EVER
Posted in Cooking, tagged cocktail, drink, recipe, vodka on June 27, 2010 | 5 Comments »
I have yet to write a post with an all-caps title but this is that important. I made a pitcher of the best drink ever and I’m considering writing to the president to make it our national drink. It all started a few weeks ago at The Standard Hotel’s Beer Garden (Biergarten). I quickly got [...]

Get your veggies with roasted asparagus
Posted in Cooking, tagged asparagus, Cooking, recipe, side dish, vegetable on June 26, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
Roasting vegetables is the easiest and most delicious way to whip together a vegetable side dish. One of my favorites is asparagus. Asparagus is sold in bunches and one bunch is usually enough for 2-3 people. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Snap the tough ends off each stalk (it’s usually about an inch or [...]

Summer means corn and corn means crap in your teeth. And delicious side dishes. Barefoot Contessa’s confetti corn is so easy and delicious and makes eating corn a lot more enjoyable (no need for dental floss!). Ingredients: 2 tablespoons olive oil 1/2 cup chopped red onion 1 small orange bell pepper, 1/2-inch diced 2 tablespoons [...]
Heirloom Tomato Salad

Last week I made an heirloom tomato salad that was fresh and cool and wonderful. Whole Foods happened to have heirloom tomatoes and they just look so damn fancy that I had to buy a few. I came home and did some googling and came across this recipe on Epicurious. It was featured in Gourmet [...]

I have no idea what half the words in that title even mean, but it is the name of the recipe I tried out yesterday. Nick and Toni’s is a popular restaurant out in East Hampton and the chef was featured on an episode of Barefoot Contessa. This pasta dish is basically Penna alla Vodka [...]

I’ve been trying a lot of new recipes lately so I haven’t been taking many pictures. (I learned the hard way that photos + new recipe = burnt dinner) Over the next few days I’ll just share some new recipes I like. Enjoy! Sliced Steak Sandwiches – these actually taste like they came from a [...]
