Last week I roasted and filled red bell peppers and was reminded how fun and easy and it is to make stuffed foods. It inspired me to make these pea ricotta stuffed shells with a red wine marinara not even a week later! Like lasagna or other noodle-based casseroles, the shells are great hot out of the oven as well as for leftovers. I moved this week, well specifically yesterday and today, and I wish I had some of these shells stored in the fridge for an easy lunch or dinner....

Pizza Quesadillas I try to keep a minimum of pantry staples on hand so I always have a few meals I can make, even when we’re low on time. And these easy quesadillas are one of the favorites.

They’re really easy to customize for the kids, work for a quick lunch, and are seriously yummy....

Watergate Salad, Pistachio Fluff, and Pistachio Dessert Salad are all names referring to this yummy, sweet salad that is straight out of the 1970’s when it was first introduced by Kraft under the name “Pistachio Pineapple Delight” as a way of promoting their new pistachio instant pudding mix. This super fun dish is simple enough to have on busy weeknights for dessert after family dinners, but it can also be well presented on a dessert table for special occasions too....

Curtido is a Salvadoran condiment made of cabbage, onion, carrot, pepper, and oregano. It’s lightly fermented, salty, a bit tangy, and perfect for liberally topping tacos, bowls, and pupusas (a traditional Salvadoran stuffed masa pancake). It’s easily made at home, and can be adapted to your tastes–mild or spicy, more or less sour. The cabbage is lacto-fermented, which means that we take advantage of the naturally occurring good bacteria that’s present on the surface of all fruits and vegetables....

I’m going to say something that’s possibly a bit controversial: sandwiches are only as good as their bread. You can have the most delicious filling but if the bread sucks, the sandwich will always fall short of good. And you can’t beat freshly baked bread. The crust is more tender, the insides perfectly soft but sturdy enough to hold up to the filling. And if you’re looking for the perfect flavorful white sandwich rolls, then this is your recipe!...
