My Go-To Roasted Cauliflower

Baked Cauliflower Buffalo “Wings” + Ranch Dip
It sounds crazy to some, I know. What do you mean cauliflower wings??? The thing is, the only way these are trying to be wings is in the sauce and colour. That’s about it. This recipe doesn’t try to mimic the texture of chicken at all. That would be gross come to think of it. […]

Sweet Potato Gnocchi with Brown Butter and Sage
I had a fear of making Gnocchi, just like I fear pie crust. In my mind recipes like this are so much work and are so easy to mess up! They seem mysterious; things only wise old women have mastered. What actually went through my mind: What if, rather than fluffy and soft, my gnocchi come out dense and heavy? What if they’re too soft and just fall apart, disintegrating in the boiling water? What if I just never get it right and discover that bottom line – I CAN’T make gnocchi? This is silly of course because just like with pie crust, fresh pasta or any other challenging recipe, practice makes perfect. Practice until it becomes second nature.
