Can we have this every night? It’s that good! As with many of my favorite recipes, this one originated at Smitten Kitchen. I rarely tweak anything from that site — Deb Perelman is just that brilliant — but here I opted for broccolini rather than broccoli. It’s a bit sweeter, and the stems are more tender. Otherwise, it’s…

Pork, Potato, & Fennel Sheet Pan Supper
Today’s sheet pan supper was inspired by a recipe from Cooking Light way back in 2001. It’s delicious, and someday I’ll make it again to post here. But today, I just wasn’t in the mood to sauté. Sometimes, I just wanna pile some stuff on a pan and stuff it in the oven, yeah?…
Carrots With Crispy Shallot Butter
Uh-oh, I’m out of chives! I’ve had mixed luck growing them in my Aerogarden because for some reason, they don’t always germinate. I had some leftover carrots from a sheet pan supper, and I wanted a quick and easy way to prepare them for dinner. Carrots With Chive Butter is my go-to for that,…
Galangal Sautéed Summer Squash With Cabbage
It’s a heat wave! Well, it was. Yesterday it was in the 60s. I know it’s just the January thaw and there’s more winter to come — tomorrow’s predicted high is only 17 — but the seed catalogs are here and 60 sounds like summer compared to last week’s 11 below zero. I love to plan my garden…
Green Beans With Frizzled Shallots
This bean recipe has it all: It’s delicious, beautiful, and fun to make. It struck me recently just how long I’ve been making this dish for holiday dinners. I remember exactly where I was when I found the recipe. I was in the waiting room at my physical therapist’s office, early for my appointment (as usual),…
Potato Salad With Bells On
Looking for a fresh, tasty side dish to brighten up your dinner table? Look no further, you’re going to love this! It’s been a weirdly warm fall. After a rath er cool early summer, my garden was unexpectedly, delightfully productive in October. I wasn’t going to develop any new recipes this fall, but I just…
Carrots With Chive Butter
The very best carrots are the ones you pluck from the dirt, rinse with the hose, and eat raw. Since those aren’t always available, sometimes I do buy them from the grocery store. This is by far my favorite way to cook carrots. I don’t remember my mom ever making them any other way, and…
Indian-Spiced Beets
I went almost a month without making a new recipe. Must be some kind of record! The plan was to go three months, ha. I’m in the midst of kitchen and hip renovations, so I froze three months of dinners ahead of time. No cooking for me during the no-kitchen, no-weight-bearing period. Until all of…
