Any Greens Pesto

January 6, 2021 By msmart Leave a Comment

This "any greens" pesto can be prepped ahead and frozen in ice cube trays or glass containers.

Any Greens Pesto Yes, you can make fresh pesto in January! Maybe not the super traditional Genovese version, but you can make a bright and fresh “any greens” pesto that will be delicious with pasta, as a sauce for fish or chicken or tossed with roasted veggies. We just came back from a couple weeks…

Chimichurri

Chimichurri Sauce

Oh, the magic of green sauces. Pesto, chermoula, tomatillo salsa and chimichurri make everything they touch taste better. Throw some basic steaks on the grill with just Maldon sea salt and fresh ground pepper and top them with a drizzle of this stuff. Dinner will go from good to great in a matter of seconds….

Carrot Ginger Salad Dressing

August 23, 2018 By msmart 1 Comment

Carrot ginger dressing

About every other week, my kids request a meatless Monday sushi night. We steam rice and fill sheets of nori with avocado, cucumber, julienned carrots or peppers. On the side, it’s  a simple butter lettuce salad topped with carrot ginger salad dressing. It’s a vegetable-based vinaigrette that’s flavorful, addictive and full of umami. The only…

Sriracha Mayo

Sriracha Mayo

Need a delicious condiment that will take your burger night from ho-hum to hurray? Sriracha mayo is my go-to for burgers or an out-of-this-world BLT. You can also use it as a dip for roasted potato wedges or shishito peppers. Spicy, with a touch of soy and lime, it takes all of five minutes to…

Orange Blossom Honey Butter

Orange blossom honey butter

Orange Blossom Honey Butter Friends, summer is here. Which means I’m feeling lazy, reading books, testing new recipes and cleaning out closets. Actually, my husband is cleaning closets and I’m trying to hide. With my book. I meant to post this recipe back in April, and here it is July. Better late than never as…

Chermoula

March 29, 2018 By msmart Leave a Comment

Easy weeknight dinner

  I first learned how to make this tasty green sauce as a catering assistant for Thomas Fogarty Winery when I was fresh out of cooking school. It’s the perfect condiment for fish, chicken or roasted vegetables. I also love it mixed into couscous, cooked white beans or vegetable soup.

Whole30 Romesco

March 20, 2018 By msmart 3 Comments

4th of July menu

Romesco to the rescue. I’m a sucker for a snack platter: Colorful crudité, cheese, fruit, you name it. It’s a choose-your-own-adventure way of eating. Just put out all the options and let everyone dig in. Case in point, this Whole30 red pepper romesco with colorful veggies ready for dipping. Beautiful enough to set out for…

Meyer Lemon Cranberry Sauce

December 11, 2017 By msmart Leave a Comment

Meyer Lemon Cranberry Sauce

Super Easy Meyer Lemon Cranberry Sauce Meyer lemons make the perfect cranberry sauce. Slightly less acidic than Eureka lemons and full of juice, Meyers are my favorite winter crop. Tangy, bright and with a touch of cinnamon spice, this is my favorite cranberry sauce. If you don’t have or can’t find a Meyer lemon, feel…

Jalapeño Buttermilk Ranch

August 21, 2017 By msmart 4 Comments

Ranch dressing: the natural partner for cold and crunchy iceberg lettuce, carrot sticks and slices of takeout pizza. I have two different versions of ranch dressing, one full of herbs and lemon, and the other full of jalapeño and cilantro. I’ve also been known to tone down the “green things” for picky eaters. For a…

La Taqueria Green Sauce

May 8, 2017 By msmart 13 Comments

This is stuff dreams are made of. Or at least really good food memories. Mouth-watering day dreams of dorado carnitas with spicy green sauce oozing from tabletop squeeze bottles. The parking is impossible, the line is long and the plancha is sizzling at this ubiquitous Mexican joint.  La Taqueria, in San Francisco’s Mission neighborhood, has some of the…
