Overripe bananas on the kitchen counter are a frequent sighting at my place. So, it’s 1000% percent essential that I have “very ripe banana” recipes at the ready. These muffins are a gluten-free gem and very simple to whip up.
Mojo Mussels with Lots of Garlic
It’s no secret that I love all things mussels. It’s only a matter of time before this becomes a mussels appreciation website. Until then, I’ll leave you with these citrusy mojo mussels with lots and lots of garlic. What is…
The Easiest Chicken Curry Ever
The simplicity of Chicken Curry will never be forgotten. It’s one of my favorite weeknight meals especially in the spring because it’s comfort food that isn’t heavy but still so warming. It’s something about the curry sauce that assembles at…
Lump Crabmeat Tacos with Chile de Árbol & Pine Nut Salsa

Tomatillo Gazpacho (with Lime and Garlic Citrus Paste)
Gazpacho was made for warm weather. It’s refreshing and light and perfect for no-cooking days. If you’re not familiar with gazpacho, it’s a cold soup made from blended vegetables. Traditional gazpacho is often blended with bread, but I omitted the…
Curried Mussels
Have y’all ever made a dish and then completely surprised yourself with how good it was? That’s me and these curried mussels. These mussels are steamed in a coconut curry-based broth served with crusty bread or parboiled potatoes. (I’ve tried…

Onion Pakoras
I made these during that thing that rhymes with “schmandemic.” During a time when, for the most part, if you wanted your takeout foods, you had to learn to make them yourself. My first choice for an appetizer at any Indian…
Herby Socca Flatbread
Socca. It’s earthy, it’s savory, it’s plane! No, I’m totally kidding. Socca does not fly, but it DOES make for a delicious high-protein snack or vegan, gluten-free pizza crust. AND, apparently, it’s best served with rosé. I’ll be testing that…
Very Pink Raspberry Cream Sandwich Cookies
I love these cookies because they are pretty. I know I’m supposed to say they taste good (they 1000% do), but I just love sandwich cookies because they always look like cookies 2.0. You literally get two cookies for the…
Roasted Garlic Soup
I made this soup on the fly one day when I was going through a roasted garlic phase. It was a pretty serious but satisfying several weeks of adding roasted garlic to just about every dish I cooked. I regret…

Barbecue Chicken Tacos
I will put anything on a taco. For me, tortillas are a blank slate for whatever your heart and palate desires. This time, this shredded barbecue chicken was the perfect filling. I cook adobo chicken the same way: on a…
Short Rib Chili
Coffee makes everything taste better. This short rib chili is my proof (and also an integral recipe in my coffee series). Coffee isn’t much of a secret ingredient in chili recipes. I feel like it’s a fairly common addition at…
