Welcome to dinner: up to you. This is where I unload my various thoughts on the things I like to eat, the ways I like to cook, and what I’d like to learn. Feel free to stay and hang out.

Made grilled pizza for the first time today with @rootspizza dough, pureed tomatoes with garlic/oregano/salt/sugar, mozz, onions, and homegrown basil 🍕 so. freaking. easy.  Topped it afterwards with a little bit of homemade pesto and kale 🔥

oddly enough as a SoCal family, we rarely casually grilled and ate al fresco. the only times we did were during our summer barbecues with family and even then, we mainly cooked American food (steaks, pasta salad, corn, etc).

some days we eat lots of salad bowls but other days we really just need a bowl of spaghetti and meatballs 🍝 marcella hazan’s tomato sauce never fails to deliver 👌🏼 I genuinely do not understand how it is so good with only 3 ingredients 🥫🧅?
weekend brunches have been a whole lot of “everything bowls” ❤️ this past Saturday, it was Swiss chard with lentils, leftover roasted beets with greek yogurt, cabbage slaw with my go-to homemade green sauce, and scrambled eggs sprinkled w
I like to make 牛肉麵 (Taiwanese beef noodle soup) at least once a year and it made sense to make it again during this whole global pandemic thing 🤷🏻‍♀️ #quarantinemeals
gentle foods • made a cozy vegetable broth last night with onions, celery, carrots, bay leaf, peppercorn, half a head of garlic, and rosemary. tossed in a dried pep (toast it first in dry skillet to wake things up) and let everything go for abou

Cooking has always been a form of stress relief for me. The routine feeling of chopping vegetables, sautéing onions and garlic in olive oil, stirrings yummy bits around a pot - these are all very calming activities for me after a long day of work. However, after those particularly long days of work and I’m ravenous, the last thing I want to do is spend over an hour making dinner. But what if I do want a slow-cooked dinner on a week night? What’s a girl to do?

Keep reading for a one-two weeknight dinner routine that has changed my views on a “quick weeknight dinner”.
