With a Mexican flare, these stuffed peppers are like a burrito, but the tortilla is a juicy bell pepper. I love making stuffed peppers as a weeknight meal, because they’re so easy to throw together and are both nutritious and delicious. They’re also the perfect meal if you’re craving your favorite Mexican dish but want …
When I make baked goods like banana bread, zucchini bread, pumpkin bread, etc, I always have an internal debate with myself: is this bread or is it a cake? My boyfriend always says, “I’m gonna have a slice of cake,” and I grumble exasperatedly, “It’s not cake, it’s bread!” Is it bread, though? Or is …
Don’t hate me, but I’ve never been a huge chicken fan. It’s not that I dislike it, per se—I made it probably once a week—but I just don’t get excited about a chicken-centric dinner. And what is that Anthony Bourdain said? “Chicken is boring. Chefs see it as a menu item for people who don’t …
As I was flipping through Eating Well magazine my eye caught this recipe, not only because crab salad speaks to me, but also because the recipe is from a cafe in Morro Bay, California. I have fond memories of California’s central coast, from when my sister went to school at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. …

Just in time for Father’s Day, here is a fresh, summery recipe that will knock your dad’s socks off: seared scallops topped with a juicy and flavorful mango salsa! (My own dear pops loves scallops, so that’s why I thought of this particular dish for the weekend.) While it’s a great dish to surprise a …
I love eating beets. Being Ukrainian, I don’t really think I have a choice in the matter, but up until recently, I was terrified of cooking with beets. The hard, burly vegetables that stain your hands red were kind of intimidating to me, and unfortunately that fear kept me from cooking with them for a …
What with what? I know, not your most conventional meal. This meal was inspired by both a friend’s cooking adventures and a trip to the farmer’s market. Let me just start by saying I don’t make fritters often enough. They’re so easy to make, and I’ve long been incorrect in assuming that fritters were best …
Some people aren’t that into putting fruit into a salad. Personally, I love it. Maybe it’s because I love a mix of savory and sweet, or maybe because adding fruit to a salad makes it so much juicier and more refreshing. But regardless of your thoughts on the matter, this salad recipe is not just …
