How to Steam an Artichoke

On January 20, 2020 By LeahIn CookingLeave a comment

The artichoke is one of my favorite vegetables. I don't make them often, instead opting for a more convenient option of canned/frozen artichoke hearts that are so easy to add to pizzas, salads, and pasta dishes. However, I found beautiful early season artichokes this weekend and we cooked them on Sunday. My favorite way to …

Spaghetti Squash with Turkey and Kale

On December 17, 2019 By LeahIn CookingLeave a comment

I love winter squash of all types, including spaghetti squash, because its texture holds sauce well. This recipe comes together in less than 30 minutes, so it is perfect for weeknights. We used kale because we had some that needed to be eaten up; other additions that would work well here include mushrooms and onion. …

Part 2: Butternut Squash Soup Recipe

On November 18, 2019 By LeahIn Cooking1 Comment

This soup is simple and satisfying. The apple brings a natural sweetness to the butternut squash and I love topping it with crunchy squash seeds (they taste just like pumpkin seeds). Jeff mentioned that soup would often be the main dish when he worked in South Korea, so we love to pair soups with salads …

First Course: Massaged Kale Salad with Roasted Chickpeas Recipe

On November 10, 2019 By LeahIn CookingLeave a comment

Massaged kale salads remind me of Boston, because I used to make versions of this salad often when I was in grad school and when I taught cooking classes there. This recipe is fun to make with a group because you have to roll up your sleeves and use your hands! The second part of …

Salmon with Capers and Fresh Tomato Sauce Recipe

On July 24, 2019 By LeahIn Cooking2 Comments

When I eat salmon, I am reminded of Jeff and I's Alaskan honeymoon, which took place this time last year. We have fond memories of eating fresh salmon in Alaska, especially at the Saltry Restaurant in Halibut Cove (you can only get there from Homer, via the female-captained Danny J ferry). These salmon fillets are …

Homemade Tzatziki Recipe

On April 28, 2019April 28, 2019 By LeahIn Cooking1 Comment

Jeff and I share a lot of common ground, food-wise, and this sauce is a big contender. We've been eating out less than we used to due to our budgeting efforts of 2019. We received a mini-food processor as a house warming gift (more on new house coming soon!) and I was excited to make …

White Bean Nachos Recipe

On April 7, 2019 By LeahIn CookingLeave a comment

Jeff and I are in the midst of moving; our long hallway is full of boxes and we've packed everything but our daily essentials. Our recent meals, therefore, have had two main objectives: healthy to keep us going, and relatively few ingredients -- to use up what we have on hand. With a crudité plate on …

Eggs Poached in Tomato Sauce

On March 19, 2019 By LeahIn Cooking3 Comments

If you are like us, weeknight meals are more often a product of using up what we have in the fridge to make a dinner that is healthy and palatable, and less often a blog-worthy meal. These eggs check all of the weeknight boxes for us; they come together in about 20 minutes, and they …

Personal Pizza-Style Portobellos

On February 25, 2019 By LeahIn Cooking2 Comments

Jeff and I celebrated our one-and-a-half year anniversary recently, so tonight's dinner goal was for something simple and satisfying. After finishing a busy weekend of working and budgeting, Jeff and I were happy to have dinner ready in under 30 minutes. I will write more about our budgeting journey later, but so far planning ahead …

Hatch Chile Verde Enchilada Recipe

On February 10, 2019February 10, 2019 By LeahIn Cooking2 Comments

Jeff wanted me to specify that these enchiladas were made with Hatch chile pepper sauce from New Mexico, as he went to graduate school in Albuquerque. When Jeff and I were first dating, he would always mention how the restaurants in Albuquerque ask you "Green or Red?" (referring to the type of chopped chile they …
