Mitarashi dango (sweet mochi dumplings with a soy sauce glaze) Last week I shared even more food photos from Japan, but I saved these street-food photos for last. Street food in Japan is not as...

Black Sesame Mochi Dango
Paula and I are back from our Seoul + Japan adventure! Although from my perspective, it wasn’t so much an adventure as a nostalgia-fueled eating tour + a chance to introduce Paula to friends who...

Almond Butter Chocolate Granola Bars
Remember back when I dedicated an entire blog post to my (unofficial) dissertation acknowledgments? That list summed up a lot of what my life was like during the 7 years I spent in graduate school....

One-Bowl Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread
Two sweet recipes in a row! It must be THAT time of year… Actually, I am thrilled that it’s October and that the weather’s gotten cooler. For one thing, I can now use my oven again without dire,...

Cucumber Kimchi (Oi Sobagi)
There’s just over a week until Paula and I get married! And there’s still a good three or four weeks’ worth of stuff left to do… Luckily my parents are arriving in California today, so they can help....

Quick-Pickled Jalapeños and Cilantro Jalapeño Hummus
This recipe has been a long time coming – and not just because I didn’t post last week due to my ongoing tendinitis (which makes it painful to type). Paula and I have been making Cilantro Jalapeño...

Green Bean Black Sesame Goma-Ae
My summer of snacking on cold salads directly out of the fridge continues! Not that this is a salad; it’s more of a side dish. Goma-ae is a delicious Japanese vegetable side dish, often using spinach...

Whole-Grain Dijon Mustard Potato Salad
This potato salad is like a collection of all of the foods I used to hate. Key words: used to! Mustard, pickled red onions, and even capers have all grown on me in recent years. (Capers, most recently...

Kimchijeon (Kimchi Pancake)
A note to my dear readers: I haven’t missed a single week of posting in over two years, but it’s finally happening — I will be taking the next two weeks off. I’ll be back on Thursday, June 12th! (And...

Charoset for Passover
I’m writing a short-ish post this week, since that’s all I have time for—too much going on with my dissertation right now! (And, as I mentioned last week, I guess I’m still not willing to sacrifice...

Mole Chocolate Chip Cookies
I’m posting two dessert recipes in a row! Sorry! (Although, is this really something I should be apologizing for? I’m not sure…) I usually try to mix up my posts more, but I assume you’ll forgive me....

Yakimochi (Grilled Mochi Rice Cakes)
Every once in a while I post recipes that are not really recipes, and I assume everyone will see right through them and think less of me as a food blogger. But I am also such a fan of snacking and...

Peanut Butter Popcorn Balls (Guest Post)
It’s my favorite time of year again: time for cuddling under a blanket with cider or tea while knitting and watching scary movies. Not that I get to watch scary movies that often, as wonderful as that...

Muhammara and Roasted Red Pepper Hummus
If you’ve been following my blog long enough, you’ll know that last summer I signed up for a CSA share. Not really a whole share; a half share that Paula and I split with friends by alternating pick...

Blistered Shishito Salsa with Roasted Cod
It may seem backwards to title this post “Salsa with Roasted Cod” instead of “Roasted Cod with Salsa,” but this is a salsa-centric recipe; to be honest, the whitefish fillet underneath the salsa was...

Peach Rhubarb Oatmeal Bars
I’m on the East Coast where summer is in full swing. Although in many ways, it’s already swung; it’s practically fall. This week I crunched on leaves with my niece and waved my nephew off to his first...

Za’atar Roasted Chickpeas
I’m home visiting my parents in Madison, Wisconsin, and I can tell you one thing for certain about the weather: I would not want to turn on the oven right now. It’s been a humid swamp of a week, with...

Roasted Tomatillo Guacamole
Today’s recipe is barely a recipe. I could mash avocados in my sleep (and not forget the squeeze of lime juice). The other day BuzzFeed had a list of 30 foods to DIY instead of buy. The list included...

Beet Hummus
As promised: the chickpea-less hummus recipe! Strange, right? But this beet “hummus” is lusciously tangy and bright, with a smooth yet substantial hummus-y texture. It’s my new (slash only) favorite...
