If you like crispy brussels sprouts, you’ll love this beautiful charred napa cabbage with miso butter and sesame sprinkled on top. It turns out I’ve been eating cabbage the wrong way for years, and the only appropriate way to eat it is perfectly blackened and swimming in brown miso butter.

This is where my blog peaks, and no other recipe will live in infamy like this miso butter and mushroom orecchiette. Which I have misspelled and spelled again fifteen times since writing this post. ORECCHIETTE. Why so many letters? I’m here to tell you that this pasta is an umami bomb. The savory miso butter cozies up to browned mushrooms and shallots and god help me white wine in the pan and everybody just gets chummy. It’s a great dinner situation that you will not want to miss. I’m not even entirely sure how I was able to make all this savory goodness work, but when it works it really works.

This Miso Ramen is a cheap meal that I’ve been making often. I pulled it together on a night when we didn’t have anything planned, and it was so delicious I had to share it.

Sam once told me he didn’t like carrots, which I took as a challenge to craft the most delicious carrot recipe that even the most dedicated carrot-hater couldn’t hate. I used to hate a lot of vegetables until I found out that everything is good roasted. Everything. Even a brussels sprout. I made this amazing…
Hi Friends! Every year I fall in love with autumn all over again, and I’m reminded why. I took a step outside and watched the rain fall on a big oak tree in our backyard while all the yellowed leaves fell to the ground. It smelled like dirt and leaves and those scented crayons that…
