Spinach and Zucchini Lasagna

When it's cold outside, do you eat more melted cheese? Come on, now, come clean with me. How could you not?  It's gooey and hot and filling and, well, it just feels right when it's frigid. That's why the other night I made this spinach and zucchini lasagna recipe for meatless Monday. Join me, won't read more

Chinese Noodles with Ground Pork (Zha Jiang Mian)

Note: today I'm republishing a recipe for zha jiang mian that I first published back in May 2010, with newer photos. Enjoy! There's one dish that I always am excited to eat whenever I go home -- my dad's zha jiang mian, or Chinese noodles with ground pork.  These Chinese noodles are usually served read more

simple french carrot salad

french carrot salad

The other day I ended up with a lot of carrots in my refrigerator. It was an accident. I'd gone to Borough Market, this amazing food hall and farmer's market here in London, and was completely taken by some beautiful carrots with their bushy green tops. My kids love carrots (although, sadly, they're read more

vietnamese pork summer rolls

Despite my best attempts to force it along with chili recipes and apple hand pies, fall has been slow to come here in Northern Virginia. Last week, with weather inching upwards of 80 degrees, I gave up. I can wear all the fleece leggings and long cardigans I want, but it is not attractive to sweat read more

  • Tonight’s dinner was a slow braised @fieldsofathenryfarmva pork shank with sautéed spinach over Geechie Boy grits, all drizzled with a porky reduction. This all paired well with a pre-dinner cocktail, a grapefruit and cinnamon Winter in Paradise from @cocktailcourier. My family said that it’s been too long since I blogged and I need to return to it post haste. . . . . . . #food #nomnomnom #thatsdarling #thehappynow #thekitchn #instayum #instafood #igfoodie #f52grams #chefmode #instapic #droolclub #bhgfood #goodeats #eatfamous #hungry #foodgasm #honestcooking #foodgawker #foodgram #foodstagram #eatstagram #foodshare #dinnerparty #foodie #foodblog #eeeeeats #yum #slowfood #southernfoodwaysalliance

  • The earnestness of my 10 year old continues to kill me. During the distance learning and the lockdown he started a club among neighborhood kids called Forest Patrol to be on the lookout for wildlife and to keep the ‘hood clean. I introduced him @customink for making club shirts, and they arrived today. The club is raising money to pay for shirts; keep your eyes peeled for a doe-eyed boy who may be making the rounds near you offering to pick up rubbish in your yard! . . . . . #wowintheworld #tshirtdesign #kidlife #lifeinlockdown #socialdistancing #savetheplanet #earthday #kidsofinstagram #kidsactivities
