Sour Cream Pancakes

December 6, 2009

Picture this: it’s Saturday morning, and after a nice sleep-in, you wake up refreshed and have not a thing to do!  This sounds like pancake time!  So you quickly whip up a batch of these little babies, and then leisurely relish over their deliciousness.  Heaven, right?
Well if these aren’t the moistest, tastiest little hot treats, [...]

Mediterranean Pasta Salad

November 28, 2009

Don’t get me wrong, this girl loves rich, comfy food.  The holidays scream out to you to eat the fudge, the extra serving of pumpkin pie, and the gravy and mashed potatoes.  Nope, you won’t hear a single complaint from me!  *but*, there is this side to me lately where I’m c-r-a-v-i-n-g summertime foods, such [...]

Quick White Bean Stew with Swiss Chard and Tomatoes

November 15, 2009

Confession: I make Kraft’s mac & cheese for myself sometimes (!).  Usually Monday nights, after 9 straight hours of class, all I can do to keep it together and not chew off my own left arm is to tear open a box, throw those skinny little noodles in the boiling water, and eat the entire [...]

All-Clad

November 11, 2009

Oh yes, people.  It’s November 11th and that means the holidays are rapidly approaching.  Are you as shocked as I am?
I’m one of those people who is way too easy to buy gifts for, seeing as I always want something, like those adorable boots I saw at JCrew the other day, or that ridiculously cute [...]

Attention vegan friends – I do love you, too!
For someone completely addicted to butter and cheese, I find it sort of amazing that you can make a perfectly delightful muffin without a drop of dairy.  I’m still a bit shocked in fact, but these muffins are quite delicious!  This is my dear friend Tanya’s favorite [...]

Cucumber and Celery Salad with Herbs

October 30, 2009

Sometimes, especially when I’m busy, the contents of my fridge starts to taunt me.  I open up the fridge to grab an apple, and there’s all that celery leftover from making soup (you know, when you really only needed a stalk or two, but had to buy the whole thing?). Or you know, when you [...]

Apple Streusel Muffins

October 25, 2009

The farmers markets are brimming with all sorts of delicious apples—Macouns, McIntoshs, Cortlands—and this cold weather makes me crave a sweet treat!  This is rather unusual behavior (having a thing for sweets), but as you can tell from recent Dreamy Dish entries, I seem to have developed quite the sweet tooth!  I blame it on [...]

Creamy Carrot Soup with Scallions and Poppy Seeds

October 21, 2009

What’s a girl to do when she looks outside on a mid-October evening and sees that it’s snowing?!  Well, panic of course.  Then make soup!  Seriously though — snow?  In October?  You’re killing me.
But never mind, at least it’s an excuse to make soup and feel cozy and perhaps buy a new adorable sweater?  Ah-hmm.
I [...]

Chicken Noodle Soup

October 11, 2009

You know that feeling.  The leaves are changing colors, there is a crisp bite to the air, and suddenly all you can think about is cute boots and cashmere sweaters.
Or perhaps it’s that other unfortunate fall feeling you’re experiencing.  Your throat is a bit scratchy, you don’t feel quite right, and you notice yourself needing [...]

Tip: How to Chiffonade

October 6, 2009

Didn’t you hear, it’s hip to chiffonade (shi-fe-’nad)!
You can use this technique on any fresh herb or leafy green.  It takes a basic leaf, and turns it into a beautiful little ribbon!
Using basil as our example, you simply stack up the leaves (up to 8-10 at a time works fine), placing the largest leaves on [...]
