Crash Hot Potatoes

I love no-recipe recipes. that isn’t my recipe, but when I saw it on The Pioneer Woman, I knew I not only had to invent it (over and over), but additionally share it with you guys.
It is EASY and it is TASTY.
Boil potatoes, smash them, cover them with olive oil, salt, and rosemary, and bake …

When Valentine’s day rolls around, there are a lot of desserts to choose from. There’s a lot of red, and a lot of hearts, and lots of strawberries. In February. I’m not opposed to buying stuff out of season, but I decided to go with something a little different for a V-day desse…

For those of you that want to try out the candied clementines but possibly don’t want to eat them whole (yes, you can eat the peel!), I offer you that lovely clementine bundt cake. It’s a more traditional dessert for certain, but I think more broadly appealing than the candied clementi…

I really love vegetable tempura, but it often the batter contains eggs, so I have to skip it when I’m eating at a japanese restaurant. But it’s really easy to form eggless tempura at home. You can absolutely pick up a box mix of “tempura powder” at a local asian market and…

I first encountered daifuku at one of my favorite restaurants in Western Massachusetts, Fresh Side. In their deli case were these cute little white and green pillow-looking desserts, sitting behind a hand-written card that said: Mochi (vegan).
I ordered one and when I bit into it, it was such a su…

Broccolini, Cherry Tomato, and Butter Bean Udon

I asked my twitter friends whether they’d like to see recipes made for one, and the response was overwhelming; absolutely. A lot of you seem to manufacture lunch for yourself, or have several weeknights where you’re cooking solo and want to throw something fresh together without a lot …
Simple Fried Rice with Japanese Seven Spice

I’ve gotten a lot of great comment and emails about the last dish I posted, along with pleas for post more “simple and easy meals.” So here’s one more. I wasn’t going to post that here, considering it’s SO easy and SO straightforward, I thought it wasn’t …
Apple Pie Coffee Cake
April 15, 2009
![]()
I have a knack for inventing things that have already been invented. I made my husband an apple pie for his birthday, and was reminded how annoying it is to peel, core, and cut a lot of apples. But I really like pies made with fresh fruit, so it’s not a process I’m planning on giving …
