This is my on-repeat-all-the-time summer salad. It hits all the right notes: it’s light, fresh, crispy and tangy, and so satisfying. When I was in university, there was this restaurant halfway between my house and school called Dr. Deli and the Salad Queen, and aside from slinging traditional deli sandwiches, they had an extensive… Continue reading Summer Asian Chick’n Salad

Not Your Mom’s Passover Brisket
If you celebrate any Jewish holidays, or even Shabbat dinner, it's pretty much a given that you are familiar with the ubiquitous beef brisket that your mom learned to make from her mom (who learned to make it from her mom...)

Creamy Chick’n Lasagna Soup
I love recipes that turn a classic dish on its side. Lately I've been seeing an abundance of posts on Instagram about "Lasagna Soup", and I've been intrigued.

While I waited for my tea… Continue reading Roasted Butternut Squash and Leek Soup
Quick and Easy Asian Chicken Noodle Soup
When I was a (really little) kid, there was this restaurant my Dad used to take me to downtown (on McCaul Street in the Village by the Grange, for those who know the area).

One Pot Garlic Butter Pasta
We are in the dog days of August, where the air is so thick and humid you can cut it with a knife, and the mere thought of turning on kitchen appliances makes you break out into even more of a sweat, but yet somehow, that wasn't enough of a deterrent for this carb-loving mama… Continue reading One Pot Garlic Butter Pasta
