Chicken Baked in Tomato-Spinach Sauce

For someone who loves food so much, it seems odd to eat as much yogurt and cereal as I do. The fact of the matter is that cooking for one is booooring. Of course this bothers me. For one, it’s not exactly healthy. In a recent discussion with my friend Natalie regarding my carb and [...]

Tuna – Gigantes Bean Sauté

Mmmmm….beans. Beans are a good source of protein and fiber; beans are cheap—so cheap that I can even afford to buy organic. I’ve recently discovered the wonderful world of bulk foods at Rainbow Grocery. Gigantes beans (aka giant lima beans), are just one of my latest discoveries from the bulk bin! Gigantes are meaty, creamy [...]

Ratatouille Stuffed Crepes Gratin

Some people are natural-born hosts. I am not one of these people. I stress about who to invite, whether they’re going have things to talk about or even LIKE each other, what to make, what drinks to serve, and, and and… This Saturday’s potluck dinner was no different: I was late, people couldn’t find parking, [...]

Roasted Tomato, Basil and Goat Cheese Tart

I’m so excited to write today. It’s one of those dreamy Sunday afternoons here in the city. Sun, a cloudless sky and quiet on the street below. The cherry blossoms have also started budding and blooming right outside my apartment window. It is a day to be spent out of doors, which is exactly what [...]

Last night was Melita’s birthday. So we three girls decided to celebrate the occasion with a mini-celebration at home. We started with fondue, which we ate standing over the stove . For the main course, I made this amazingly easy and healthy baked fish topped with homemade spinach pesto. And for dessert, leftover tres leches [...]

Tomato-Basil Focaccia for Fleet Week

Admittedly, focaccia was perhaps a bit much for a rooftop Fleet Week party. Especially since it turned to be much more kegger than garden party. I don’t really care, though. If I’m honest, the majority of my baking and cooking endeavors stem not from an abundantly generous nature but rather from a secretly egotistical one. [...]

An Italian Fish Stew for My Roommates

When I first moved in, I suppose I appreciated the simplicity of my living situation—we were roommates, not friends. At one point, however, it just felt weird to be sharing such an intimate space—home—with two people and not make an effort to know who they are. I guess I wasn’t the only who felt this [...]

Ricotta Stuffed Baked Tomatoes Topped with Pan Gratata

I served this for dinner a while back and am only now getting to posting it . The recipe was inspired by several recipes I browsed at online. All in all, it’s a pretty simple dish to put together. And though I’m not exactly a fan on baked tomatoes, I definitely don’t mind eating this–or [...]
