My Favorite Bites

Yesterday, I went to Philly and did my coffee, pizza, sushi trifecta. We started at Persimmon, and I tried their autumn special coffee, which I loved. It had persimmon syrup, black walnut bitters, maple, cinnamon. So delicious for a fall day! We had our favorite margherita pizza at Pitruco, and then went to Uchi for sushi. The kurodai and madai were my favorite bites of nigiri, but I really loved the scallop crudo. It had a Jimmy Nardello pepper sauce, carrots, and shallots. It was sweet, smoky, and each bite was just so good.

Midweek Update

The last week or so, I’ve been revisiting all my old pumpkin desserts. I shared two of them in my last newsletter. This week, I decided to revisit my pumpkin and maple labneh swirl bars, and what a treat! Sweet, moist pumpkin bars with swirls of tangy, maple-infused labneh (a heavily strained yogurt ‘cheese’ that sits somewhere between Greek yogurt and cream cheese). These bars are a perfect autumn treat.

Let’s get into some recipes. I’ve got some reader faves coming your way plus some sweet potato ideas.

Weekend Update

I hope everyone had a fun and spooky Halloween weekend! Mine was filled to the brim with delicious food. On Friday, I saw Wicker in the theaters and had tapas for dinner at Tapas Teatro. So delicious, and we really enjoyed the movie! I also made my black sesame upside-down cake for a Halloween treat. I wish I’d had more spooky sprinkles, but all I had were eyes and a blueberry. Not the scariest face I’ve ever seen, but still tasty and delicious!

On Saturday, I had dinner with my parents. My dad made his chicken cacciatore with provolone. So, so good. One of my favorite meals! For dessert, I made pumpkin bars—a recipe that was contributed to my site by Mia a few years ago—and they are just so divine! I’ll share the recipe below.

For now, I have some reader faves and more ideas from the archives to inspire your meal plans for the rest of the week.

Midweek Update

Short and sweet today. I’m sharing my recipe for a super simple side dish that I’ve been loving with my Beau Monde pork chops. Tonight, I’m making my baked BBQ chicken breasts (recipe below) with harissa mac and cheese. So comforting and easy to make.

In my oven right now is a loaf of my pumpkin bread. I made it earlier in the week to reshoot my old recipe, but I didn’t have time to make the glaze. I’ll be making the glaze tonight, though the bread is delicious without it. A perfect little autumnal treat.

For now, I’ll get you into the recipes to keep you cooking the rest of the week.

Weekend Update

What a busy weekend! On Friday, I made my steak taco salad, and then I went to the movies to watch You Can See Everything. What a great film! Have you seen it? I haven’t been able to stop theorizing about it since Friday.

Yesterday was pretty low-key. We took a hike around Lake Roland and tried a margherita pizza at the new Viale in Baltimore. For dinner, we just did leftovers, but decided to treat ourselves to dessert at Bar Dalí. They released their new autumn menu, so I tried the…I think it was called The Waltz. It had gin and two types of sherry and Bénédictine. It was delicious! For dessert, we had the Basque cheesecake with blueberry compote and a glass of PX sherry. What a treat!

For dinner, I’m making my ranch powder roasted chicken. It’s one of my favorite Sunday dinners! I’m serving it with stewed lentils, which I’ll be sharing as an early access recipe next week.

For now, let’s get into some recipes to keep you cooking this week.

Midweek Update

Short and sweet, literally! Yesterday, I decided to make my raspberry London fog upside-down cake again (recipe below), and I can’t believe how much I love that one. It’s a labor of love, but so worth the effort. Sweet and tart raspberries swimming in lavender caramel adorn the loveliest Earl Grey and lavender cake. I finish it with a creamy whipped mascarpone and lemon zest to tie everything together. So delicious.

Yesterday, I made my breaded air fryer chicken thighs, and they are always such a hit! So easy to make. I love them on lettuce wraps with a big slice of tomato. I also finally made shrimp fried rice. I did realize that there is a limit to how much shrimp I like in shrimp fried rice. I always feel like more is more, but this was just too much. I regret not breaking out my wok for it, but all things considered, it was tasty!

Weekend Update

This weekend was so wonderful! I went out to eat on Friday at Cinghiale; I enjoyed the braised boar and cacio e pepe. On Saturday, I went out to sushi with a few friends at Sushi Bruce in Fells Point. I loved the tuna nigiri, crispy calamari, and the eel nigiri! Afterward, we did a candle-making class at Amicasa. I named my candle Big Red because I somehow recreated the scent of the gum almost exactly!

Today, I’m just relaxing and thinking about my meal plan for the week. Here’s what I came up with on Friday:

Tonight, I’ll be making a sirloin steak with baked potatoes, and later in the week, I’m excited to reshoot my Ricotta and Pork Meatball Soup recipe.

Today, I’m also excited to share my recipe for my Spumoni Upside-Down Cake. It’s been very, very requested, so I’m sharing it today. I’m going to be updating the recipe next week to include whipped mascarpone, but this cake is delicious as-is, so no need to hold on to the recipe forever. I hope you love it as much as I did!

My Favorite Bites

I ate GOOD last week, and I have a few favorite bites. On Sunday, I made lentils with my roast chicken. So easy to make, but so delicious. Just onion, carrots, celery, cumin, a bay leaf, diced potatoes, a can of diced tomatoes, and a can of hot hatch chili peppers. Simmered in chicken stock. So, so good. Will definitely be repeating that next week.

Midweek Update

Yesterday, I made one of my favorite midweek meals. Baked BBQ chicken thighs with my harissa mac and cheese (and a side salad). I’ll have to do a recipe for the chicken thighs too; they’re so easy to make and so comforting. Would they be better grilled? Probably. But for a Tuesday night, the oven is just fine by me.

On Sunday, I made stewed lentils that I haven’t been able to stop thinking about either. I’ll be sharing that as an early access recipe soon. Green lentils, lots of carrots, celery, cumin, and a can of hot green chilies (and a few other things). I served it alongside a roasted chicken, and it was just divine.

For now, I have a new recipe plus a few reader faves to keep you cooking the rest of the week.

Weekend Update

On Friday, I tried Flour and Wood—a new restaurant near me—and whew! What a dream. I tried the gamberone (a GIANT shrimp!) and loved it, a pizza, meatballs, and Caesar salad. Everything was delicious, but I’m still thinking about this tiramisu. The mascarpone was so silky smooth and airy and delicious and everything I love. I will definitely be going back!

Another food highlight was the sweet potato chaat at Chai Pani in DC. Mind-blowingly good with such a complex sweet and savory flavor profile!

Needless to say, I had an excellent weekend of eating, but I’m excited to settle back into cooking. This week’s meal plan includes a roast chicken with lentil stew for tonight, sweet chili tofu (again), more beau monde pork chops to perfect my recipe, BBQ chicken thighs with harissa mac and cheese, and a London broil on Friday. Instead of steak taco salad, I’m making a big old London broil with a side of baked potatoes. YUM.

My Favorite Bites

Last week, I felt pretty in my groove with cooking. Despite the fact that I did have one pork catastrophe and had to have an emergency midweek taco salad…but I mean, that happens to the best of us, right?

I really don’t know why I keep going through the exercise of writing up a meal plan because I can’t seem to force myself to follow it. I suppose it’s probably helpful to have it as a guardrail, but I do find myself winging it either because of a catastrophe or because Tuesday Kylie wasn’t picking up what last Friday Kylie was putting down. I did make my sweet chili tofu, which was my favorite bite last week. Incredibly crisp and sweet, spicy, saucy. The best. I served it with seared tuna, which I unfortunately overcooked (my least favorite bite).

My next favorite bite is the soup I’m holding above (and sharing as an early access recipe below). It’s a rich, fragrant, comforting chicken and butternut squash soup finished with an earthy, sweet sage-infused coconut milk.
