I sometimes can’t believe I used to do the majority of my shopping at Trader Joe’s. Whenever I go in there now, it just seems like a place to buy snacks, and only snacks. Maybe some ingredients, if you can find them. They have some good frozen/prepared meals… but mainly they always have a new…
Buttermilk Elote Pasta
This past Christmas, I got everything off of my wish list, including… buttermilk powder! I’ve been making things with it throughout the year – it was even included in one of my State Fair entries! But I’m still always looking for more ways to incorporate it. So when I saw this recipe from Bon Appetit,…
The LA Years: If Midwesterners are so stupid, then how do you explain Hotdish?
I think there are a lot of ways you can examine the political divide in America right now. I don’t want to dive into allllll of that. But when I lived in LA, this subject really felt like the root cause of a lot of the division. To make it clear, I am no stranger…
The LA Years: “I’ve got an extra hour, and I haven’t seen any butts today” Lasagna
My family knows that I’ve got a lot of rants about Los Angeles, and they’ve heard a lot of them and the stories I have. I came up with the idea to write a series of essays about the realities living in LA as a just-out-of-college person while I was still living there. And when…

Ditalini Pasta with Pistachio Pesto
I am a connoisseur of pesto pasta. It is an old standby. Reliable. I always have the ingredients for pesto pasta on hand, and it can be dinner in a pinch. But for all its reliability, it can really have a range. And the kind of pesto pasta I throw together when there’s no other…
Roasted Paneer Grain Bowl
I have plenty of flops in the kitchen. In both baking and cooking. But usually, nobody has to witness them but me! That’s one of the perks of living on your own and managing your own food. But last week, when my parents were in town, I was excited to try out a new recipe…
Brown Butter Miso Pasta
This brown butter miso pasta could not be more simple. And it could not be more delicious. Which is pretty much my favorite combination for any meal, but especially for comfort food. There’s comfort food, and then there’s comfort food that is so easy to make that having dinner ready in 10 minutes is part…
