Brussels sprouts are the most underrated vegetable in the world. People have been brainwashed by their grandparents and parents boiling them to the consistency of absolute mush and then dumping them on their plate and force feeding them mushy globs of questionable smelling sprouts. BUT - listen, these poor brussels sprouts have just been wildly misunderstood. Because when cooked correctly and ...
Garlic Balsamic Roasted Tomatoes
Can we just take a moment here? Look at that beautiful little tomato. Stuffed with garlic, drizzled with balsamic vinegar and olive oil, seasoned with salt and pepper, and then roasted for an entire hour so it just condenses and becomes ultra soft, sweet, and loaded with roasted, caramelized flavor. What you're looking at here is tomato dreams, people. The peak of tomato perfection. What each ...
Roasted Cauliflower with Lemon Tahini Sauce
Roasted cauliflower and me = BFF. Do you have a good relationship with cauliflower? Have you ever roasted it? If you answer was "no" to the first question, it's highly probable it was also "no" to the second question.

Roasted Root Vegetable Soup with Fried Sage Leaves
I'm trying to make the best of the fact that it's still wintery here in Kansas. Whenever it gets to this time of year and spring is so close I can almost taste it, I start to LOSE MA MIND. I don't want to be a negative Nancy over here, but I freaking hate cold weather. Winter itself has some nice perks: Christmas, coziness, and cold weather food, but the cold weather itself makes me want to curl ...

I HAVE FAILED YOU ALL. I would have cooked and photographed during the week, but I ...
Brown Butter Sage Roasted Sweet Potatoes
Um, yeah. So Thanksgiving is basically in two weeks. Just letting you know in case you COMPLETELY lost track of time like I did. Can we just discuss for a minute the impossibility that Thanksgiving is already in two weeks? Anybody? Anybody?!?! Maybe it's just me who is shocked by this sudden realization. In the spirit of the ridiculously fast approaching holiday...side dishes!! Like these ...
