I first learned to make a version of this cake in a Patricia…

Herb-Crusted Beef Tenderloin
Herb-Crusted Beef Tenderloin The Holiday Dinner I Make On Repeat This is the main dish I make every year for Christmas dinner. It checks all the boxes: Festive, feeds a crowd, hands-off, quick, and delicious. You can add a horseradish sauce on the side, green vegetables, a potato dish, and popovers. Or keep it simple…
Any Greens Pesto
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…
Simple Mashed Potatoes
Simple Mashed Potatoes For a couple years, the only part of Thanksgiving dinner my youngest would eat was the mashed potatoes. Seriously, I couldn’t blame her. They are crucial to Thanksgiving––what better way to soak up all the gravy––but they’re also delicious on a regular old Tuesday night. Mashed potatoes don’t need to be complicated,…
Sheet Pan Ratatouille

Baked Feta and Tomato Confit
Baked Feta and Tomato Confit Here’s the inside scoop on my all-time favorite meal: it would include tomatoes. There’s a story my mom likes to tell about a family trip to Canada when I was a toddler (which I remember nothing of). As she was making dinner, I ate every single cherry tomato out of…
Glazed Wild Salmon
Herbed Sweet and Spicy Glazed Wild Salmon Do you have one of those friends who’s just a force? Nothing slows them down, they operate on all cylinders, always on their game?

White Bean Dip with Rosemary Olive Oil

Made from pantry staples you will most likely have on hand, it’s simple and straight forward. Garnish off with a drizzle of fragrant rosemary-infused olive oil, it’s a finishing touch that takes…
Three Bean Salad
Three Bean Salad This one takes me back. Anyone else? It’s an old school side dish my grandma used to make for lunches when I’d visit. I remember hers being deliciously sweet and almost syrupy. My variation of three bean salad uses healthy pantry ingredients and has multiple substitutions to make it work for you….
