How do you feel about cilantro? Because if you’re a cilantro hater, you may want to avert your eyes. (Or maybe run in terror?) These Mushroom & Zucchini Quesadillas have a generous helping of cilantro pesto on them. So you’ve been warned, okay? Personally, I love cilantro. I never really got all passionate hatred directed [...]
I’m not sure how it’s already May, but somehow it is. And even though summer is still a month away, lately it’s been feeling like it’s here already–the humidity, the afternoon downpours, the heat. Even the spring produce is quickly being replaced by summer fruits and veggies at the farmers market. Clearly this could mean [...]
So technically it’s not corn season yet. But I’m terribly impatient, so when I saw corn at the grocery store, I had to get it, even if it was from Florida. (I mean, Florida isn’t that far away, right? It’s kind of local?) These days, you can get just about any vegetable year round. Most [...]

They’re also a little [...]
Do you ever go to a restaurant and order the same dish every time? For better or worse, I’m a person who likes routine. Usually when I find something I like at a restaurant, I stick with it. My husband always ribs me for ordering the same thing time and time again, but it works [...]
Basil simple syrup is the perfect way to use any spare basil you might have leftover from a recipe. And if you grow your own basil, well, you can make your own basil syrup all summer long! I like experimenting with different varieties of basil–Thai basil imparts the licorice-y flavor of anise, while lemon basil [...]
I think it’s time to invest in some cupcake decorating classes. Making this Strawberry Mimosa Cupcakes recipe was a labor of love, with an emphasis on labor. I wanted to pipe the frosting onto the cupcakes and make them look all professional-like. (Yes, professional-like!) So I stuffed a pastry bag full of frosting and started [...]
