French Summer Sandwiches with Zucchini and Olive Tapenade
I'm going to assume we've all had it up to our masks hearing about Covid cooking. Sourdough starter, banana bread, air-frying, everyone's done it, blogged about it, made a Tik-Tok, and written a New York Times think piece. Whatever you're going to get out of this...
Vegetable and Bean Tostadas

Teriyaki Chicken

Cheese Ravioli with Roasted Red Pepper and Pistachio Pesto
I made this dish for my dear friend Jennifer who I have known for many many many years. Because she is so wise she decided recently that the two of us -- just the two of us, no kids, no significant others -- needed to commit to a monthly date. And by golly we've...
