Spiced Chickpea Waffles with Tahini Yogurt from @loveandlemons's #SimpleFeelGoodFood The ingredients and appliances in my kitchen are in a perpetual game of Tetris, yet somehow digging out the waffle maker still seems far more appealing than deep frying. While I'm constantly looking for a good falafel, the spices and crisp on these easy-to-whipup waffles will do just fine when I don't feel like leaving the house!

Leftover rice fried in olive oil with bok choy & herbs, baked with cheese & egg, and topped with copious amounts of hot sauce. Inspired by spanakopita & the not-exactly-tasty cheesy rice I would make as a child. We're finding ourselves unexpectedly busy and out of the house a lot this December. I don't think we'll even be doing a proper grocery trip because in the midst of it all, we're getting new appliances! I've been staring at a space about a foot wide next to the small refrigerator for years and I am SO EXCITED for the new one to fill it. More space for all my pickles and sauces and freezer broths, yay! I've been clearing out the bits and bobs in there so we won't have as much to transfer, and it's fun to see my brain pulling out dishes from childhood. Left to myself some afternoons and not allowed to use the stove, I would "cook" in the microwave. It was usually potato wedges topped with cheese, but at some point I decided to try it with leftover rice instead. I don't think I ever really liked it, but for some reason I would keep making it. Even though adding all the leftover produce sounded perfect to me while cooking, I still took my first bite of this breakfast bowl with a bit of trepidation. No need, because it's amazing what a stove and added oil, herbs, onion, and hot sauce will do! 🤪 Join me and @smallbites_to for breakfast club on the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays of each month by tagging us and using #BreakfastHereAndThere.

A belated #MyToastTuesday with @smallbites_to for today's #BreakfastHereandThere inspired by bánh mì sandwiches bc my sometimes-scatter-brained self forgot to include ingredients in our dinner last night. A schmear of kewpie mayo on toast topped with serrano, cilantro, pickled carrots and daikon, and a crispy fried egg drizzled with soy sauce 😋 It's been a while, friends. How are you?! My anxiety got the better of me and I needed some time off this app 😩 Going to spend some time taking it slow and trying to catch up on all the yummy foods I missed! Let me know if there's something I NEED to add to my list immediately 🥰 Grateful for those of you with us in the breakfast club!

Peach & Burnt Honey Cobbler with Cold Cream from #CookThisBook by @mollybaz Surprise, surprise, still here eating all the peaches I can! I've made this cobbler too many times to count, the second best way to enjoy fresh peaches imo! Anyone else think making cobbler for a weekend breakfast feels strangely luxurious and lazy at the same time? It gives me that feeling of a warm, drawn-out hug, full of love and everything good 🥰 Join me and @smallbites_to for breakfast club on the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays of each month by tagging us and using #BreakfastHereAndThere.

Date, Rye & Olive Oil Brownies from #GoodandSweet by @bybrianlevy  Back in elementary school when Dominick's was still thriving in Chicagoland, I was obsessed with their bakery section. Palatable bagels, buttery "popovers" full of layers (basically croissants baked in muffin tins), and best of all, decadent and cloyingly sweet trays of chewy brownies topped with a thick layer of soft fudge. It was the only thing besides cereal that could get me to consume milk and that was probably why my mom deemed it an acceptable breakfast. Those brownies, these are not. Almost a dense cake in the best of ways and slightly nutty with olive oil bringing out fruity tones, these complex-tasting brownies are perfect for when my chocolate cravings hit hard! With Type 2 diabetes in the family, I've been aware of my sugar intake for as long as I can remember and am always trying to "healthify" my favorite bakes with fruit and whole grains since I tend to...consume things I like in large quantities...My efforts haven't been the most successful, so I'm super excited to bake more from this gem of a book!  Join me and @smallbites_to for breakfast club on the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays of each month by tagging us and using #BreakfastHereAndThere.

Peaches and Cream Pancakes using equal parts all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, and ground oats in my pancake recipe (pinned to profile) In my opinion, the second best way to eat perfectly ripe and juicy peaches (first is straight up) is to warm them, both figuratively with a gentle touch of cinnamon and literally coddled with cake batter or tender biscuits, and lots of whipped cream.

Lentils with Crispy Leeks and Fennel from #SababaCookbook by @adeenasussman I'm tired. So very tired. I'm sure you are, too. Remember to check in with yourselves while you're checking in on others around you ❤️ Grateful for this little community of like-minded friends and so happy that lentils is now one of my favorite foods because of some of y'all showing me the way. They're always so comforting and I'm always sneaking bites of leftovers from the fridge, or thinking of eating them them the next morning when I go to sleep 😅 Join me and @smallbites_to for breakfast club on the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays of each month by tagging us and using #BreakfastHereAndThere.

Charred Leeks & Burrata with Walnut Bagna Cauda from #CookThisBook by @mollybaz @mollybaz says to serve this with lots of crusty bread and roast chicken, but I kept imagining it with frozen hashbrowns for some reason. Crispy-crunchy potato-y goodness with charred veg, oozy cheese, and a touch of acid (lemon in this case) will always be a good thing to me, especially if covered in burrata, toasty walnuts, and a garlicky browned butter-olive oil with melted anchovies.

Chickpea Tuna from #BodyHarmonyBook by @bonberi As a huge tuna salad lover, this chickpea version is a game-changer. I could eat it every day! Something about the combination of dill and smashed meaty chickpeas makes it weirdly reminiscent of tuna. Add in the requisite celery, onion, and pickles/capers with the dressing, give it a sit overnight, and lunch the next day couldn't be easier!

Traditional Pretzels from #GabrielKreutherCookbook #TheSpiritofAlsace by @chefgabrielkreuther @gabrielkreuther  We're about to have a heatwave, but for awhile now, it's been mostly that in-between temperature that is too cold for the air conditioning to safely turn on, and too warm to really use the oven lest it get too hot inside (I am allergic to the world, so, unfortunately, windows always stay closed). I'm honestly okay with that, because it's my favorite weather, but I'm starting to miss all the fresh-baked goodies!  I finished my stash of freezer pretzels a bit ago, and this is definitely on my list of things to bake again soon! So soft and dense, yet somehow also light, it's too easy to eat a couple at a time. I was also so pleasantly surprised when these turned out so dark without a lye solution! You can find the recipe on #abramsbooks's Tumblr!

Smashed Cucumber, Avocado & Peach Salad from #HomeMadeBasicsCookbook by @yvettevanboven A good salad and bread is what my heart oft desires ❤️ Remembering that last year's early season peaches were incredible, I picked some up at the store and was delighted to bite into one and discover how super messy-juicy they were! I'm a fan of eating my favorite ingredients in their purest forms, but the explosive bites of peach in this herby salad were pretty nice, too Thanks @abramsbooks for a copy of this book as part of #ABRAMSDinnerParty Check out @dinneratmidnite's #saladatmidnite for more salad ideas! • • • • • • • #homemadebasics #yvettevanboven #peach #peach #stonefruit #stonefruitseason #cucumber #cucumbersalad #smashedcucumber #avocado #avocadolover #californiaavocados #herbsalad #limedressing #salad #saladideas #saladforlunch #plating #veganinspiration #vegetarianmeals #eatyourveggies #freshproduce #f #cookbookaddict #instagood

Stuffed Fish with Parsley Rice from #GullahGeecheeHomeCooking by #EmilyMeggett, the matriarch of #EdistoIsland and @kayla_s_stewart I'm really not sure why I thought deboning a whole fish raw while keeping it intact was well within my capabilities. Clearly, I overestimate myself every now and then While there were lots of surprise bones left in the final product, it was delicious and I would eat it again, properly executed that is. Any book on homecooking full of history has my heart.

Tomato Salad with Charred Romano Beans and Burrata from #ColuCooks by @coluhenry with green beans instead of Romano The chilly and muggy weather yesterday made me want something fresh, but not cold. While looking through my rapidly fogging vegetable drawer, I realized I'd forgotten all about some green beans and it made me think of the headnote for this recipe where @coluhenry pulled this dish together one evening just as a thunderstorm was about to hit. Together with fresh-baked focaccia, this meal was exactly what my body was craving ❤️ Thank you @abramsbooks for a copy of this book as part of #ABRAMSDinnerParty Tagging the lovely @dinneratmidnite for #saladatmidnite where you can find all the yummy salad ideas! • • • • • • • • #caprese #capresesalad #burrata #mozzarella #straciatella #tomatoes #tomatomedley #tomatosalad #greenbean #haricotsverts #basil #winefood #summerfood #summerweather #summermeals #vegetarianeats #saladideas #saladfordinner #foodstyling #traderjoeslove #eattherainbow #alloftheveggies #f52community #cookingthebooks #cookbooklove #abramsbooks

Amaro-Chocolate Cloud Cake from #FortheTableBook by @acstockwell Is it a fact that foods that are supposed to puff up before collapsing into a dense mass automatically taste more delicious? I think it is. Something about the even introduction of air. Probably. "I don't know what a cloud is supposed to be like, but this feels like what I think it would," my partner said upon first taste. Cue the giddiness! As for me, I love the way the Amaro lends an extra sexy sway to the chocolatey goodness while somehow also lightening up the richness. Small-Batch Notes: I baked half the recipe in a 6-in cake pan lined with parchment paper for 30min and it worked beautifully Thanks @abramsbooks for the copy as part of #ABRAMSDinnerParty! #🍫 #🍰🍰🍰 #chocolatecloudcake #flourlesschocolatecake #glutenfreecake #chocolatecake #cakecakecake #amaro #dessertporn #dessertgram #dinnerpartyideas #dinnerpartyfood #chocolatelovers #chocoholics #cookbookstagram #cookbookcollection #bakingfromscratch #smallbatchbaking
