Pasta e Fagioli

By Missy ⋅ April 21, 2008 ⋅ Comments

Being my mothers daughter, there are very few things I love more than a good steamy bowl of soup and some nice crusty bread for dipping. If you need further evidence see here. The difficult thing is that I don’t always have 2 hours to spend preparing said soup. Sadness and woe [...]

By Missy ⋅ November 30, 2007 ⋅ Comments

I know its been a while since I last posted a recipe (sorry Robbi!) but I’ve been running around, visiting home, being sick for Thanksgiving. However, being sick affords one great thing.

This is a recipe I recently shared with Steph. It was at that point I realized that I hadn’t cooked this recipe yet for my blog. Maybe its because its so frighteningly simple.

Gnocchi with Herbed Brown Butter Sauce

While having a chat with IKD my BFF Steph we talked about easy recipes. You know, the kind of simple cooking that takes under 5 minutes and under 5 ingredients. This kind of cooking is especially important on days like today. It’s roughly 92 degrees right now. I needed something that takes minimal face time [...]

Yesterday it was 88 degrees outside and I was feeling particularly cranky. What is a girl to do? Well, make my favorite warm weather comfort food of course! Nothing cheers me up like these Quesadillas when I’m feeling down and don’t feel like cooking. Well, at least nothing that doesn’t come out of a paper [...]

So there are some recipes that you make for special occasions such as Penne and 5 cheeses or a really yummy lasagna. Then there are some that are entirely seasonal like a hearty stew or a Fresh Peach Pie. Then there are some of my favorite recipes, those that you make so often that you [...]

Tartines

I always say if there was anyone I’d be other than myself it’s Ina Garten. She’s absolutely fabulous and I adore her. Who wouldn’t want to live in the Hamptons in a beautiful house with a fabulous garden. Besides, Jeffrey has got to be the cutest thing ever. I often watch her show on boring [...]
