My take on the NYT most popular shrimp recipe of all time 🍤


Hey friends❣️

I get recipe ideas from all sorts of sources...friends, restaurants, old magazines...but surprisingly, not so much from cookbooks anymore. I have a library full of them, but I don’t seem to reach for them as often as I used to.

One source of continual inspiration has been The New York Times. Their food style really resonates with me, probably because I was born and raised there, and I think our food DNA gets set pretty early. New York is definitely in mine.

Today’s shrimp and beans is lightly adapted from their most popular shrimp recipe of all time. It’s super simple, which is one of the reasons I love it so much.

Lemony Shrimp and Beans

Here's another one of my favorites from the Times. I'm actually about to begin my annual fall cider doughnut bake-a-thon. These are sooooo good.

Glazed Old Fashioned Doughnut Cake

"Wow – tastes just like an old fashioned doughnut. Very moist, lovely soft crumb. Everyone is enjoying it."

My recipes are bold and vibrant, but totally approachable ~ and my philosophy? We should all have the tools to feed ourselves well, and the confidence to cut loose a little in the kitchen. Food should be fun.

~ see you at the table!

Green tahini sauce

Hey friends❣️ Happy Sunday! It happens at the end of every season, I start pumping out all the recipes that you neeeeeed to see before the big change comes and it's too late. It's hardest in summer, when peak tomatoes meet a wall of Halloween candy and all bets are off. But green tahini is actually a pretty perfect transition recipe. Yes, it’s made with masses of fresh green herbs, but it’s also made for slathering, dunking, and dipping all those fried and faux-fried foods that start sounding...

Tomato Beet Salad

Hey friends❣️ One perk of the recent lettuce recall is that I'm shopping my local farmers markets more often. This week I found the most beautiful baby beets and tomatoes, which inspired this lettuce-free salad. I was also reminded of how many great options I've got in my salad recipe collection that don't rely on greens, there's a lot to explore! Tomato and Beet Salad with Fresh Mint Vinaigrette get the recipe I’ve always been a big believer in chunky salads like these. They’re satisfying,...

August dinner transitions

Hey friends❣️ Dinner is all about transitions right now. The same ingredients can show up on the table in slightly different, warmer ways. It's subtle, but definitely there. Here’s how that looks in my kitchen. Mediterranean Pasta Salad with Tuna eases into Spaghetti with Tuna, Lemon, and Dill. Salmon Caesar Salad becomes Creamy Salmon with Lemon Sheet Pan Smash Burgers morph into Chopped Steak with Bacon and Mushroom Gravy. Sonoma Chicken Salad turns into Firecracker Chicken Meatball Bowls....
