Zucchinis are likely the most productive annual vegetable in your standard garden. I know a lot of people, myself included, have gone from “oh, great! a zucchini!” when seeing another is ready to harvest to “oh, great…a zucchini…”. This zucchini involtini with tofu ricotta might help bring that long lost excitement back into your zucchini game….

Instant Pot Smokey Beans
I’ve been slow on posting this truly banger of a beans recipe since it requires a bit of, I don’t know..finesse, I guess. Since you use the brine from cooking the beans to make the velvety sauce, you need to have a more or less precise amount of water left after cooking them (which is…
Swiss Chard, Mushroom & Queso Fresco Empanadas
These empanadas had me looking on Craigslist for chest freezers the day after I made them. As someone whose freezer is always overflowing with food I make in bulk, I’ve always wanted more space, but after these empanadas I need it! I made about 80 of them the other day but afterwards I still was…

Chipotle Refried Beans & Mexican Rice
Mexican rice is one of my most requested recipes. Why? I haven’t the slightest idea. It’s as straightforward as it gets…I mean, it’s rice, people have been eating it for 10,000 years. And whenever it comes into conversation, people are weirdly surprised I make Mexican rice from scratch. “What, you can make that???” I’m…
Colcannon with Celery Root & Carrot Top Pesto
I’ve never cared for St. Patrick’s Day, but the odd compulsion I have to be festive wouldn’t let me pass up an excuse to make a traditional Irish recipe today. But, of course, I’ve never been a very traditional human, nor do I care to be. This recipe makes use of things people generally discard, the root…
