The combination of hazelnut and chocolate is a magical one (hi nutella!) and it is especially delicious in these accidentally gluten-free spicy hazelnut and ginger chocolate chip cookies.
Brace yourself, because we are about to make accidentally gluten free cookies and I’m not even mad about it.
I mean, how could you be mad about melty chocolate puddles or spicy/sweet caramelized ginger pockets surrounded by a hazelnut cookie crust?!?!?!
IMPOSSIBLE.
A simple side dish of blistered green beans served with creamy tahini sauce and a fresh hot sauce.
There’s almost nothing I don’t like about living in New York City, but probably the thing I bemoan the most is my lack of easy access to a grill.
Sometimes you just want to impart that smoky charred flavor into a dish and the stovetop doesn’t really do it justice. It also doesn’t help that my broiler is completely non functional. Since we moved in, the door has been taped shut because the hinges are broken and so it’s either that or it hangs open, which is not exactly safe for small fingers (or my toes) or efficient in terms of heat insulation (prior to taping it, the oven would get to a solid 250F and no hotter).
I’m not sure what the previous tenants did, but clearly they didn’t cook much.
We are entering the wild and wacky world of children’s organized team sports today! Yes, that’s right. REMY IS STARTING TEE-BALL.
I’m sure it’s going to be alternately cute and hilarious because that girl has minimal hand-eye coordination. I can’t wait!
Now, let’s start meal planning. Here’s what we’ve got this week:
Happy eating!
A tender and moist apple and olive oil cake topped with maple cream cheese frosting.
I was in a bit of a funk yesterday, just feeling super tired, lethargic, apathetic towards all things and I’m realizing now that these feelings almost exactly coincided with running out of this cake.
Coincidence? I think not.
This apple cake has a hold on my heart like NO OTHER.
A quick saute of sweet and sour corn with cherry tomatoes and fried tofu – perfect for weeknight meals!
We experienced a true toddler sleep miracle this weekend when Remy took it upon herself to sleep in until NINE AM.
I mean, yeah, it was in our bed probably with one or both of her feet in one or both of our faces.
But still. NINE AM.
I can’t remember the last time I felt so rested.
Hi friends! Any fun labor day plans??
I’ll be spending two out of three days in the hospital – today with my mother who just had knee surgery and tomorrow for work. Fingers crossed that things will be quiet because everyone will have left for the holiday weekend!
We’ve still got some summery eats on our meal plan this week to keep the spirit alive. Here’s what we’re cooking:
Happy eating!
Welcome to Eats Well With Others, where we take a vegetable-and-cupcake laden approach to life (always with a bit of laughter on the side)!
