Ingredients: 2 oz Empress gin (this gives it the beautiful color, but other types will work) 1 oz Sauvignon Blanc white wine…

Cookbook review: The Pho Cookbook by Andrea Nguyen
I’ve been a huge pho fan since I was a teenager and my dad took me to a little place in Oklahoma City. He told me “it’s this great chicken noodle soup. You’ll love it.” And I did… so much that pho was my go-to hospital takeout when I had both of my babies, I…

Air Fryer Rosemary Duck Fat Fries
A couple of weeks ago on Instagram I asked a question in my stories, “do I need an air fryer?” Well, my mom had one she didn’t use so she brought it over. I’ll admit I’m not a fan of the cabinet space it hoards, but there is no question that our fry game got…

Broccoli and pancetta frittata: the easiest and best breakfast
Frittatas are so easy and so good. Recently I discovered that you can cook them in one pan too, which is a game changer over here (I’m all about less cleanup). I use a seasoned cast iron skillet similar to this one for this recipe. I used broccoli, pancetta and goat cheese for this because…

Tuscan peasant soup made gluten-free
My sister in law got me a copy of Marcella Hazan’s “Essentials of Classic Italian Cooking” for my birthday, and I’ve spent the last week reading it cover to cover. It’s an amazing cookbook, especially if you are a cookbook fangirl like I am. One recipe stuck out to me last week — the Tuscan…
