Happy Spring Salad
I think it was three years ago that I had my first bite of a feta and watermelon salad. It was pure love. I never would’ve made the combination myself, but the salty feta tastes fabulous against the fresh sweetness of the watermelon. I was reminded of this salad when I was watching Food Network the other day and ran into Ina Garten making a similar salad. Of course she…
Indonesian-Style Green Beans
Having lived in Indonesia for so long, this was my mom’s favorite side-dish and, by chance, was the last thing I cooked for her. It’s been years since I last ate it—not sure why because it’s a really great recipe—and I wasn’t prepared for the wave of memories it brought back. Isn’t it amazing how food can make those people we miss seem so nearby? Like I can pick up the…
Perfect Roasted Potatoes
And the last one in the series: “Old Guest Postings Resuscitated“, here’s the guest posting I did a few years back for these delicious roasted potatoes. This is a really solid recipe, tried and true, shouldn’t get lost in internet lalaland so I’m posting it to my blog as well. My family has made these roasted potatoes like this for years, today I just switch up the herbs or add…

No, he doesn’t just dislike it, he hates it with a passion. I’m very adamant where it comes to finding ways to make people eat and even like those things they usually dislike. What can I say? It’s an annoying trait,…
Seriously Seasoned Rice
This here is our new favorite dinner: chicken, rice and a handful of vegetables. Everything boiled in one pot along with several fragrant spices. Not too hot, not too spicy; exactly right. And beautiful colors to boot! Colors are important! I have a thing for food you can put in a bowl and eat with a spoon. Somehow it’s the ultimate comfort food to me. This recipe is not high…
Beet, Potato and Egg Mash
Sounds like a crazy combo, right? Well, it is. Kinda. I have a girlfriend who is every bit the cook freak that I am. Worse, actually. Put her in a kitchen and she turns into a mad cheshire cat on speed. Suffice to say that when I open my inbox first thing in the morning and find a recipe from her with the message: “Make this. STAT“, attached to it,…
