Kaiser Rolls

Sometimes life-changing sandwiches happen. Sometimes they’re the Italian-est sandwich with multiple cured meats, roasted red peppers, garlic mustard, basil, goat cheese, and provolone. Sometimes they have corned beef AND potato salad on them. The filling has to be right and the bread has to be the right-est. Nobody wants to be bullied by sharp bread corners while trying to eat a sandwich, ya know? So if you’re looking for a tasty sandwich bun then I…

Pumpkin Sandwich Bread {revisited}

I find bread to be super comforting. So, let’s split a piece of warm bread right out of the oven ok? We can talk at the kitchen table. Let’s feel our feelings while snacking. Let’s turn off the heat and turn on the oven. The truth is, I’ll always want the biggest breadstick if out dining out. I’ll probably want to eat your corn bread right off your plate. I might make two pieces of…

White Pizza with Lemony Greens

While making this pizza I thought of a joke… It goes like this: Which cheese is the loneliest? (Any idea? Do you know!?) ProvALONE. Boom.  … And then I realized that’s not how you spell it. It’s provolone. Shucks. Worst joke ever? Maybe, because of the whole spelling issue, it’s the kind of joke that can only be told aloud. So anyhow, I had a pizza like this at Roberta’s in New York and I loved it.…

Zucchini Quesadillas

When it’s super toasty I avoid my oven. I give it the silent treatment. I don’t text it back. I hide it on facebook. The stovetop and I, however, are totally on speaking terms. I like to heat up my grill pan and cover it with sliced zucchinis. I like to put those little rounds in my pasta, with pesto, and (of course) on a quesadilla. I find that if I don’t hurry and cook,…

Workin’ It: Salmon & Strawberry Salsa Crostini (Michigan Fruit Part 2)

We are getting matchy-matchy up in here. And somehow it works out looks-wise AND flavor-wise. These taste complex and lovely. OH! I made a total of 4 recipes for this feature. Click HERE for the first post, and check back for recipes 3 and 4 in the next couple weeks! The salsa recipe is from Annie’s Eats, and she’s so right about it being salmon’s BFF. It’s magical really. And don’t even get me started about green…

Feta, Sun-dried Tomato & Spinach Scones

On the way home from the grocery store, while snacking on tortilla chips I just bought, I thought about how it’d be cool if salsa-filled tortilla chips was a thing. When I got home one of my grocery bag handles broke off. Then I proceeded to fall up the stairs tripping over my own feet. Just your average Sunday grocery shopping situation, right? These scones, on the other hand, are not average. They are also…

Spinach & Cheese Mini Muffins {revisited}

Sometimes you have to put a bright blanket on your couch because your couch is wearing out. Sometimes you have to clean your feelings. Sometimes you have to buy cereal every time you’re at the store even though you have some already. Sometimes you have to fall asleep on the blanket on the couch watching Bored to Death and then stumble-walk to bed at 1am. Sometimes you have to drink vodka sodas and make pulled…

Vietnamese Vermicelli Salad with Peanut-Crusted Chicken

This is the kind of meal where you can’t help but take giant, un-ladylike, but totally respectable, bites. These noodles are Lady and the Tramp-esque. Who knows, maybe you’ll meet your true love mid-noodle. But mostly just know that this is one tasty dinner. It’s perfect for a casual weeknight. It’s filling AND it’s pretty. And I promise you’ll be full before you want to be. You might get mad at your tum for not…

Crepe-adillas {the quesadilla of crepes}

I like breakfast for dinner, also known as brinner, because then I can have a beer with my crepes. I’m not sure if beer and crepes is a thing, but I guess it is now. (?) Or simply have this for breakfast with coffee and mimosas! Either way, I hope you try this tasty and crispy concoction. P.S. I’ve been crazy into making eggs in a crepe-way ever since this post on Cup of Jo.…
