PIG CANDY

My dad just informed me that it’s national bacon day, so I figured I re-post an old favorite that I make EVERY time I have people over. It’s just one of those slam dunk dishes that everyone loves. Pig Candy. Really, what could possibly be better than candy made of pig? Bacon to be precise. Smokey, salty, spicy, sweet: yes […]

On the premiere episode of Food for Thought with Claire Thomas, I toured the Venice Learning Garden with Garden Master and all around awesome person David King and got some home gardening tips from Garden Nerd Christy Wilhelmi. Laden with garden fresh zucchini, tomatoes, and basil, I set out to make a fresh lasagna with zucchini “pasta”, roasted and fresh […]

SRIRACHA SHRIMP TOAST

Oh man, hello to my new everything. I grew up eating shrimp toast, an Aussie favorite, and rediscovered it as it as it had a bit of a renaissance in the restaurant scene. I love it because it takes like zero time to whip up, and you can keep it warm in the oven until you serve it for friends, […]

HENRY’S DRUMMETTES

Henry’s Drummettes used to be my drummettes. But once you find a hand written recipe by your dad with “HENRY’S” scrawled across the top, the torch has most definitely been passed. To be fair, Henry has probably eaten his weight in drummettes several times over, opposed to my once or twice over, as they’re his go to, a close fourth […]

YOUR “WELL D’UH!” MOMENT: PROSCIUTTO + MELON

Prosciutto with melon is a classic Northern Italian dish, pairing earthy, melt-in-your-mouth, and mysteriously musty and sweet dry-cured ham with peak of the season melon. It’s a dynamite combination and the perfect no-brainer appetizer. I’m just here to post this friendly reminder. But if you really want to knock people off their socks, here’s how you do it: Choose a […]

BLUEBERRY MUFFIN ICE CREAM // VIDEO

I don’t know if y’all heard, but it’s national ice cream month, and one of my favorite magazine blogs, Simply Stated from Real Simple, is hosting an ice cream social. What evil awesome genius would come up with this, you ask? Why, look no further than my lovely buddy Kristin Appenbrink, associate editor at RealSimple.com. We met up in NYC […]

NO BAKE STRAWBERRY LEMON VERBANA CREAM PIE

I’ve always struggled with strawberries in baked goods. They’re usually too sweet, kind of mushy, and if they happen to have enough acid they lose that lovely berry flavor. And anyway, who needs to bake strawberries when they’re perfect unadorned? Ripe, juicy, fragrant, sweet, and tender, any additions would be gilding the lily. Enter Laurel, my lovely friend and baking/LA […]

ROASTED PLUMS ON WHIPPED MASCARPONE

Prunesssssssssss. Delicious, lovely prunes! Oddly it’s part of one of my favorite deserts from the legendary Brooklyn/NYC restaurant, Frankie’s: Wine Stewed Prunes with Mascarpone. The prunes are simmered away to melty, tender nothingness, seasoned with cinnamon and red wine. Served on top of whipped mascarpone, it’s a symphony (yeah, a bit of hyperbole, but it’s that good!) of texture and […]
