Broccoli and Shrimp Frittata

Broccoli and Shrimp Frittata

I know this combination sounds odd, but it is absolutely fantastic. And the sauce makes it a grand slam. This Asian-fusion frittata is great for brunch obviously, but I have been known to make it for a light spring or summer dinner as well. The 

Angel Hair in Peanut Sauce

Angel Hair in Peanut Sauce

This has been one of my favorite dishes since I started learning how to cook. It’s easy and delicious. I have recipes that swap-in whole wheat pasta to try to be more “healthy” – the flavors usually don’t go! But this recipe was made with 

Potato and Celery Root Croquettes

Potato and Celery Root Croquettes

These are so fricken good! I love the flavor of celery root – definitely underrated. The croquettes may take you a few tries, since the mass is a moist and sticky, which can make the dredging difficult if you’re a novice. But it is so 

Spaghetti con le Sarde

Spaghetti con le Sarde

I discovered this dish when my husband and I were trying rally hard to figure out with the 4 cans of sardines my parents inexplicably left at our house. After making it, I can’t believe it’s not more popular. It’s super tasty and very quick

Afghani Sweet Pumpkin (Kadu)

Afghani Sweet Pumpkin (Kadu)

I absolutely adore pumpkin. I can’t wait to put it into everything. This dish is amazing because it’s actually built mainly around the pumpkin. The pumpkin is the star, not just an addition to the meal. I also like this particular dish because it’s quick 

Chlodnik (Cold Summer Beet Soup)

Chlodnik (Cold Summer Beet Soup)

Chlodnik is a traditional Polish summer soup. At this time of year the young beets are starting to be harvested. The delicate texture of the beets and stems, as well as the quality of the young beet leaves makes this a summer favorite that can’t 

Watermelon Feta Salad

Watermelon Feta Salad

Big fan of watermelon and feta in the summer. But I do feel that it often needs a little something extra like blueberries and mint or basil. This salad is often shown as a “pizza” served on top of a watermelon wedge. It looks pretty,
