Zucchini Cake with Ginger & Hazelnuts
I'm on a bit of a zucchini kick. For a vegetable that doesn't offer a whole heck of a lot of flavor on it's own, it's turning up on our table a lot these days. There was that simple zucchini salad last week, zucchini green chile fritters for dinner last night, and then this zucchini cake.  NYTFood posted a…

The Easiest Zucchini Salad You Will Ever Make
Simplicity is a hallmark of Japanese home cooking. Sometimes, it's simplicity to the point where you actually have to ask yourself, how does this require a recipe? Often, it doesn't. Most of my grandma's "recipes" were like that. Take the scribbled list of ingredients and figure it out. This list is adapted from a recipe…

Around the Fire Dinner at the Carlile Room

Damn, That’s Good: Simply Recipes’ Berry Cobbler
For years, I've stuck with the same cobbler recipe from America's Test Kitchen. It's basically like having to make buttermilk biscuits in addition to cutting up the fruit and letting it macerate. And while that doesn't seem like a huge amount of work, it's not like I've made that cobbler every summer. Berries are super abundant…

The Cocorano – Coconut Gin Fizz with Dry Sparkling Serrano Pepper
Linger in Denver, Colorado knows how to do brunch. The food is always fantastic, but maybe more importantly they've got a small, but solid selection of brunch drinks. The coconut gin fizz is the kind of brunch cocktail you could lose a Sunday to, so good you can't stop throwing them back. I'm not usually a big…

Summer Pasta Solution #1 – Penne with Zucchini, Ricotta & Chickpeas
Summer is officially here! And along with the beach parties, cookouts and s'mores, it's time to complain about zucchini!  Get ready, overzealous gardeners every where are about to start leaving crazy amounts of zucchini on your doorstep.

Peach Melba Ice Cream – the Easy Way
I think of Peach Melba as an old school dessert. It's true, the real peach melba dates back to the 1890s, but for me, it dates back to the 1980s when that peach-raspberry combo was my mom's fruit-on-the-bottom yogurt of choice.   This week, it's the dessert of choice and the best part is, you can…
