Healthy Carrot Zucchini Muffins
Remember that carrot cake I made last week? And how much I enjoyed shoving carrots down the shoot of the food processor? Well, I went overboard on both the purchase of carrots and the shredding of carrots. The carrots I didn’t shred were perfect for the Chicken in Escabeche of Caramelized Onions, Carrots, and Jalapeños. […]

Fettuccine with Creamy Red Pepper-Feta Sauce
Joseph and I love to have the ingredients around for this pasta from Ellie Krieger because it’s fast, easy, relatively healthy, and the ingredients keep for a little while so you don’t need to make it right away. In fact, we got the ingredients before our trip to Europe a few weeks ago and didn’t […]

Chicken in Escabeche of Caramelized Onions, Carrots, and Jalapeños
My main contribution for this dish was eating it. Yes, that’s right, Joseph did all the work and I came along, snapped some photos, ate it up, and now I’m writing it up here like I have some ownership of it. That’s what marriage is for, right?

Macaron Macaroon
Walking through the streets of Paris is so like a kid in a candy store. I was drooling outside of every shop we walked past. I was especially excited by this beautiful window display with all these beautiful, colorful little confections. I only vaguely knew that they were called macarons and I was confused because […]

4 Hours in Paris
A no/low carb diet sounds about as appealing to me as giving up air. When I was a kid, I once asked for another piece of bread with dinner and my mom gave me a choice: another piece of bread OR dessert. I LOVE dessert. From the very bottom of my heart, I love baked […]
