AVOCADO GRAPEFRUIT SALAD

I love this salad so much. I don’t know what it is, but while I was pregnant I was a grapefruit fiend. Grapefruit everything! It has such a lovely balance of sweet, tart, and bitter, and when combined with nutty avocado and creamy coconut, every bite is balanced and bright. I added a bit of cilantro and black sesame seeds […]

AVOCADO TOAST

It’s almost silly to have a post dedicated to Avocado Toast. It’s so pervasive out here. It’s on every cafe menu, pops up on everyone’s Instagram feed, it’s practically omnipotent. But unlike cronuts or sweets with bacon in them, this is of a protected status. Simple things hardly ever go out of style, and avocado toast is equivalent to a […]

BACON + BRIE POTATO TART

Leave it to the French to make a giant cheese and bacon hash brown sophisticated, but that’s exactly what’s going on with this tres chic tart. The grated potato crisps up beautifully, the brie adds a bit of richness, the bacon adds…bacon, and the mesclun green salad cuts through the whole thing beautifully.  Though this is delicious hot, it doesn’t […]

BACON + PEA MAC + CHEESE

First off, who doesn’t love Mac and Cheese? And secondly, my sister REALLY loves mac and cheese, so this is an homage to her baked pasta loving tendencies.  I love the straightforward, simple version, but every now and then I get the itch to liven it up a bit.  This is a very simple way to do that: through in […]

BACON WRAPPED HOT DOGS

This is the smell of 2 a.m. – at least if you’re on the streets of LA. Street dogs are the best dogs.  Bacon wrapped hot dogs (so not kosher or organic, totally terrible for you…but who cares it’s 2 a.m.), griddled with onions, jalapeños, and the buns too.  Everything sort of cooking together in this greasy, awesome mess. It’s […]

BAKED CLAMS ELIZABETH

This is perfect little bite before a meal: warm, savory, and unexpected, it gets your palette working and your face grinning before you even get to the table.  The combination of fresh herbs with aged cheese is fantastic with the smokey, briny flavor of the clams. If you’ve never opened a clam by hand before, have your local fishmonger show […]

BAKED EGG CROSTATA

I seem to always have extra pie dough hanging around the house, and every now and then I don’t feel like pie. I know, I know, how could this be? But I guess there is such a thing as too much pie. So with this extra pie dough, and no appetite for pie, I looked at what else I had […]

BAKED ZITI WITH SPICY TOMATO CREAM SAUCE

My best reference for baked ziti is The Sopranos. It became a plot point, and even the cornerstone for a character, when his wife suddenly passed away and a freezer of her ziti was all that was left behind. Baked ziti is like lasagna, but even easier. It’s shareable, freezable, and deeply comforting, like most casseroles are. This version is […]
