Zucchini Pancakes
You might be looking for new, delicious ways to use zucchini right about now. How did I know? Crazy right, how I read your mind? I’m good that way. These savory pancakes are hardly new, but they are certainly delicious. Filled with fresh herbs and salty bits of feta cheese, the pancakes pop hot off…
Summer Tomato Soup with Chipotle Cream
It was 96 degrees today, dripping with humidity, a mean fist of heat that punched me in the face each time I was stupid enough to open the door. Needless to say, not a day for ovens or cooktops or hot soup. And yet…I made this soup anyhow. I made it because it’s the best…
Eggplant Caviar
My family is more than a little obsessed with the eggplant spread – or melitzanosalata – at It’s Greek to Me. The creamy eggplant is perfectly balanced with lemon, garlic, fresh herbs, and salt. Nathan and I could sit down with just that, and a mountain of pillowy, hot-off-the-griddle pita bread, and stuff ourselves like…
Minneapolis Farmers Market – Fresh & Local Radio Show
It’s no secret that I’m a huge fan of farmers markets – what’s not to love? – and the Minneapolis Farmers Market in particular because it’s my “home” market. I shop there every week, most weeks two or more times, loading up on all of my favorite fruits, vegetables,…
Couscous with Vegetables, Olives, & Raisins
Behold the world’s most perfect side dish. I’m not talking about the photo, which is meh (sorry, I was rushing this out to our National Night Out block party), but the dish itself, which is delicious and flexible and adaptable and easy and do-ahead. No lie. Serve it warm or serve it at room temperature. …
Fried Chickpeas with Chorizo & Spinach
I posted this recipe a few weeks ago at Dara & Co./Minnesota Monthly magazine. I’ve probably said this about too many things to be credible (I’m aware that I lean a bit heavily on the superlative), but this is one of my absolute favorite dishes. I crave it. I devour it. And now you will…
Blueberry Lemon Buttermilk Cake
I still had blueberries left from last week’s farmers market haul, but since they were just-past gorgeous (yet still perfectly edible), I decided that today was the day to bake them into this pretty blueberry lemon cake I’d had my eye on. Although really, every day should be a day for buttermilk cake, don’t you…
Green Beans with Pork & Black Bean Sauce
Green beans are the first vegetable that I genuinely liked. My grandparents grew them in their garden, and my Grandma Meyer would pick them fresh, boil them until they were tender, and serve them with lots of butter and salt. Alongside walleye fried crispy in…butter. What was not to like? I still like them the…
Tomato Salad with Burrata & Croutons
I know, I know. Another tomato salad. But bear with me for a minute, because of one special ingredient…burrata cheese. It’s fresh mozzarella, but with a creamier, tangier twist. I bought it at Whole Foods, in the cheese section, and haven’t looked back. Burrata is completely incredible with garden fresh tomatoes, even more so than…
A Midsummer Night’s Feast
A huge thank you to our friends Kris (who works with my husband John, above) & Harry (who owns Cheek to Cheek Dance Studio) for preparing another stunning dinner for John and me. Two summers ago they blew us away with a multi-course, perfectly wine-paired feast from their garden’s bounty. They indulged us again this…
