Peeling the red peppers (the most tedious part of this whole recipe) and using an immersion blender are key — both make all the difference. Once you’ve peeled the peppers, the recipe is pretty much a straight shot from there! An immersion blender is a MUST in my kitchen. It makes soup-making super quick. This soup blends directly in the stockpot, then it’s ready to serve.

I have always had a feeling that in another life I was supposed to be French. French cooking was one of my first exposures to international cuisine and it is an undertone to several of my recipes. Every once in…
Potatoes au gratin are potatoes in the form of comfort. Carbs & comfort. That’s it. That’s the post. Honestly, if you need me to sell you on a cheesy potato dish to you to you, then this might not be…
I’m thinking about starting a cooking for one series. This dish definitely makes the cut. I keep it on rotation over here because it’s gluten-free, dairy-free, a healthy serving of omega-3s and greens, and it’s the type of dish that…
These might be on my top 3 favorite things to pickle and add to salads. Shishito peppers are typically mild but every 10 peppers or so come with some serious heat. It’s like playing Russian Roulette with peppers. They’re in…

Everyone should have a few solid fish recipes in their repertoire. Especially in the summertime. Summer is all about light, but flavorful meals that don’t require you to spend too much time in the kitchen (although, I don’t typically complain…
Author’s Note: I originally published this recipe in May 2021. It called for coring and de-seeding the tomatoes, which I now find to be completely unnecessary. While it makes for a very smooth and seedless jam, the tomato jam still…
