Banana Nut Steel-Cut Oatmeal

January 13, 2020

Banana nut steel-cut oats on a gray napkin

Steel-cut oats, overripe bananas and walnuts come together for a healthy, hearty breakfast that tastes like it just came out of grandma’s oven.

You know what I get really mad at myself for doing? Wasting bananas. There are so many things you can do with them, there’s basically no reason they should hit the trash… except bananas are one of those foods that you either want all the time or not at all.

Summer Party Panzanella

July 2, 2018

Summer Party Panzanella

This Italian bread salad boasts the best summer garden bounties and toasted bread cubes, all tossed in a tangy white wine vinaigrette. It’s big enough to bring to your block party—and keeps well enough to keep all to yourself. Is there any better feeling than walking out to the garden on a sunny day, picking a juicy cucumber, rinsing it off, and eating it right then and there like an apple?

New Year’s Lentil Soup with Sausage Meatballs

January 1, 2018

Lentil Soup with Sausage Meatballs

This savory Italian-inspired soup is filled with earthy lentils, infused with aromatic herbs and peppered with tender meatballs. Lentils are a New Year’s tradition, but this soup is great anytime. Happy New Year! What are your New Year’s resolutions? I have mixed feelings on New Year’s Eve and New Years. On the one hand, I think it’s a little overblown. Reasons: I already stay up past midnight most days…

High-Rise Buttermilk Biscuits Supreme

December 20, 2017

High-Rise Buttermilk Biscuits Supreme

Flaky, buttery biscuits in a golden crust that rise like champs. They’re perfect solo with some butter and jam, or with my personal favorite comfort food—creamed turkey. I’m not quite sure how we got to December, but here we are. It’s probably a little tired to talk about how the years whir by faster the older you get, but it always seems to surprise me regardless.
