You may remember me humble bragging about the potluck dinner I attended at Dana Cowin’s apartment last fall. It was a crazy honor to be included in the evening and to meet some of my cookbook idols (like Deb of Smitten Kitchen) in the process. Over ...

Finger Food
Gluten-free appetizers are some of my favorite recipes to make, especially since it means sharing these small bites and healthy finger foods with friends.Â
If you’re looking for a gluten-free dip idea, two of my favorites are this artichoke hummus recipe and this green goddess dip. But perhaps the best gluten-free finger food recipes in my repertoire are riffs on the latke like these gluten-free sweet potato fritters and these gluten free okonomiyaki.
White Asparagus with Herby Sabayon Sauce
If I had gotten my act together sooner, this white asparagus recipe would have hit your small screens last week in time for Easter. But it’s taken me a few minutes to catch up on life after my solitary month at the writer’s colony. Sadly this ... Continue Reading about White Asparagus with Herby Sabayon Sauce
Green Goddess Avocado Toasts with Roasted Spring Vegetables and Tahini Sauce
I’m finally back at my desk after a whirlwind month on the road.

Sweet Potato Latkes with Scallions and Kimchi
As I’m sure you’re well aware by now, fried potatoes are among my favorite things in the world, right up there with miniature ponies, massages, and videos of Taylor Swift awkwardly smashing shit with a golf club. Come Christmakkah, I put aside my ... Continue Reading about Sweet Potato Latkes with Scallions and Kimchi
Gluten-Free Crab Cakes with Pretzel Crust
This summer, I had big plans to finally cross crab cakes off my list of things to gluten-free-ify. In preparation, I scoured the interwebs and virtually devoured many classic Maryland crab cake recipes, which use a much higher ratio of crabmeat to ...

Smoky Roasted Butternut Squash Toasts with Manchego
When people think of healthy finger food, cheese and butter are not necessarily the first things that come to mind. But my philosophy is always to eat a lot of good with a little bad. Healthy food is always best when you can’t tell it’s healthy. ... Continue Reading about Smoky Roasted Butternut Squash Toasts with Manchego
Healthy Stuffed Mushrooms with “Creamed” Kale
Perhaps it says something about my continued stubbornness when it comes to table manners, but finger food is my favorite type of food.

Blistered Shishito Peppers with Sumac Salt
The first time I ate blistered shishito peppers was at Sushi Samba circa 2001. It was one of the few venues that dragged me and my high school friends below 14th street, and that’s because it was one of the few venues that would look from my fake ...

Healthy Trail Mix with Chia Seeds, Almonds, and Cranberries
Last year around Labor Day, you may remember a smattering of instagram pictures that included homemade friendship bracelets, temporary peace sign tattoos, sweaty neon crop tops, and a lot of bug juice in the woods. Well, I decided to double down ... Continue Reading about Healthy Trail Mix with Chia Seeds, Almonds, and Cranberries
Hot Crab Dip with Jalapenos and Scallions
I’m all for high-low dishes (after all, Ina Garten turned me onto the magic of potato chips and caviar at a young age). But I’ve always thought that hot crab dip seemed like a foolish use of a $30 a pound protein. It’s the same kind of philosophical ... Continue Reading about Hot Crab Dip with Jalapenos and Scallions
Grilled Lamb Kebabs with Lebanese Fresh Tomato Salsa
While most food items tend to look prettier in food magazines than they ever do when prepared in my kitchen, there are a few dishes that take the cake (expertly styled with self-tanning spray, of course). I’ve intimately come to realize that skewers ... Continue Reading about Grilled Lamb Kebabs with Lebanese Fresh Tomato Salsa
Jalapeno Sweet Corn Salsa
It feels sacrilegious to say it, but I don't always love to cook. As lucky as I am to be able to go to work in my kitchen every day, sometimes mincing shallots or dekerneling corn is the last thing on earth I want to do. I wish my love of standing ...

Grilled Buffalo Chicken Quesadillas

Wild Mushroom Pizza with Cauliflower Crust
The food item that’s been most responsible for pushing me head-first off the gluten-free wagon is pizza.

Mushy Pea Toasts with Mint
I’m one of the few weirdos who thinks that British pub food is a cuisine to be sought out and cherished. That’s partially because a good portion of the menu takes a bath in a deep fryer before ending up in front of you. But my love can also be blamed ... Continue Reading about Mushy Pea Toasts with Mint
Pork Larb Lettuce Wraps
I’ve probably mentioned my summer in Thailand in Tastetrotting posts past. But I always come back to it as one of those dot-connecting formative food experiences.

Somali Pirate’s Booty Popcorn

Cheese Fondue For Two

Thai Chicken Burgers with Sriracha Mayo
Burger buns are one of the things that I have yet to find a decent gluten-free replacement for.
