This is like a caesar salad on spicy steroids. Butter lettuce, a spicy calabrian chile dressing, homemade breadcrumbs (note below), and a small mountain of finely grated parmesan cheese. Inspired by my favorite salad at one of my favorite restaurants in LA (Jon & Vinny’s, […]
Seriously. Butter my biscuit and call me delicious. These drop biscuits are flaky, golden, and tender. The apples, cheddar, and chives give them the perfect sweet/savory vibe. Serve ’em warm at brunch with whipped maple butter and no one will ever want to leave your […]
Wedge salads are some of my favorite salads because in reality, it’s a bunch of delicious fatty toppings masquerading as a “salad” on top of iceberg lettuce. They’re cool and crunchy and creamy and just… damn. I can’t resist them. This is my go-to version […]
They’re intensely chocolately and fudgy and rich which crispy edges and chewy insides. What more do you need in a cookie? Adapted from this recipe. Ingredients: 1 cup unsalted butter, softened 1/2 cup white sugar 1 cup light brown sugar 2 large eggs 2 tsp […]
Say that five times fast. These saucy balls are a dream – reminiscent of IKEA meatballs, except WAY BETTER. We eat a lot of meatballs around here, and this recipe really hits the spot when you’re tired of marinara sauce. You can serve them by […]

Elote (aka Mexican street corn) is one of my favorite Mexican dishes that has become ubiquitous around Los Angeles. So why not turn it into a dip? This dip has everything you want in an appetizer – it’s cheesy, spicy, salty, sweet, and would be […]
Galettes are a great introduction to making and baking your own crusts – their freeform nature makes them much easier to work with than a pie or a quiche, and “messy” becomes “rustically beautiful”. I love making this one during the spring – it’s great […]
I don’t think this dip needs much of an introduction. It’s cheesy and packed full of flavor, but the kale and spinach makes it feel 1,000% healthy. Or at least that’s what I keep telling myself as I shovel chips full of it into my […]
I love pizza. I love cheeseburgers. When I can’t decide between the two cravings, this recipe checks all the boxes. It’s also a great way to repurpose leftovers into another meal – I’ll ask hubs to grill an extra burger patty or two (in this […]
