let’s veg out This veggies with feta dish is seriously one of my favorite quick weeknight meals. It is SO easy and also so satisfying, you’ll never question a mostly vegetable dinner again. The best thing about this recipe is that you can really just toss it together without thinking too hard or measuring everything …
soup season is here! Breaking news, Zesters: while homemade bone broth is wondrous, it’s super easy to make really, really flavorful broth in less than 20 minutes. And the evidence is this recipe I’m about to give you. With an aromatic base of green onion, ginger, and garlic, this broth builds up to be a …
just cobble it up after a day of apple picking I’m not really sure why this apple cobbler is “old-fashioned” other than the fact that it’s a pretty typical apple cobbler recipe and cobblers in general kind of remind me of an old-fashioned American dessert, or your grandmother’s kitchen. That said, apple cobbler really is …
une bonne quiche You know what’s funny? As often as I go to France, I hardly ever get quiche when I go there. And I don’t really order it out in the U.S. But I will absolutely make quiche at home for my own eggy, cheesy pleasure. You can really make quiche as quick or …
you’ve got the beet In case you didn’t already know, beets are kind of a big deal in Ukrainian cooking. But it isn’t just borscht and boiled beets for a side—there are many different ways to put these carmine veggies to use, including this shredded beet salad (or ‘cwikla’ in Ukrainian).

baba who? We are nearing the tail end of eggplant season, so I’m trying to squeeze out as much enjoyment from this delicious nightshade as possible. Seriously, roasted squash and eggplant is one of my favorite dinner sides, and there really is nothing better than fresh, seasonal veggies. I used to be way more of …
These sweet potato latkes are the ultimate comfort food. They’re perfectly crispy on the outside, slightly soft on the inside, with a savory and sweet flavor profile. Yum! Latkes are traditionally a classic Jewish food that are commonly enjoyed during Hannukah. I’m not Jewish, but I did grow up enjoying potato pancakes that my Ukrainian …
I love risotto. While it sounds like it could be a menu item at a fancy restaurant (and sometimes is), it’s actually very easy to make, and it’s become kind of a weeknight staple for me. You can dress it up a bunch of different ways with various ingredients, spices, herbs, and cheeses. This particular …
I don’t always eat muffins for breakfast, but when I do I enjoy them homemade, moist, and delicious. It’s an added bonus if I make a seasonal recipe, like these maple pumpkin muffins that are getting me in the mood for Thanksgiving later this week. I don’t think I have to tell you that pumpkin …
