Back when I had Instagram on my phone, I had a habit of saving recipes on Reels that I would always inevitably ignore. (Notice the not-so-subtle virtue signaling about being off social media, thank you.) But apparently sometimes I would like a recipe enough to actually copy the link and email it to myself. Which…
The Best Grilled Cheese (Apple Butter Caramelized Onion Grilled Cheese)
“The best grilled cheese?!” you say. I can hear you now. “The BEST? Are you SURE?” There you go again. “Are you really so bold as to make that claim?” Okay, quiet! Yes, it’s a bold claim. Maybe an impossible claim to make. There really are so many ways to level up a grilled cheese….
Cauliflower Chowder
I am always on the lookout for a good soup recipe. My family has some classics – ranging from a tomato soup we learned to make in Tuscany when I was 7 to a sausage soup my sister found randomly on the internet three years ago. And we usually return to those classics, because… they…
Chana Masala Hot Pockets – a Trader Joe’s recipe
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

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 Calabrian Peppers
I’m back with more ditalini. It may be my new favorite kind of pasta. I know I’ve only really made one box worth of it, but it’s pretty delicious. The perfect shape, the perfect sauce vehicle, so easy to cook in a sauce. The world of pasta options can be overwhelming. I’m not sure what…
