Where has the time gone? August flew right by and, with it, the summer. Chris and I had some kind of planned activity every weekend for the last two months (or so it seemed, I am finding it hard to remember some details!). There is a lot to be said for keeping busy but not … More Weekly Meal Plan—September 25–October 1
I’ve been busy lately, but rest assured I’m still working on delightful Crossed Forks content. For now, check out my easy-peasy recipe for Cinnamon Cream Cheese Pinwheels over on my Instagram. And make sure to hit that follow button while you’re there!
Brunch is kind of taking over the world, isn’t it? Living here in Atlanta, good luck and Godspeed to you if you want to go out for brunch on the weekends during any kind of normal brunch hour. I’ve had success going really early (8 a.m.) or really late (3 p.m.), but never anywhere from around 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Atlantans just looove brunch. … More Spicy Sweet Potato Hash
It’s summer and tomatoes are everywhere. I’ve mentioned my favorite way to eat tomatoes (that doesn’t involve pulling them straight off the vine) here, but there are so many delightful ways to savor a fresh, juicy, red, ripe tomato. Basically, fresh tomatoes in winter aren’t even worth eating. I mostly feel that way about grocery … More Herbed Egg-Stuffed Tomato Cups
Hello! Once again it’s that time (although a late time this week, sorry) for the weekly meal plan. I have a good mix of cuisines and meal types coming up this week, with a few chances for improvisation that may end up as recipes. Sunday, July 24: I had Chris help shoot some pictures of … More Weekly Meal Plan—July 24-30
After being on the road for fully half of this month, I am seriously hankering to be back in the kitchen. Also, seriously hankering for some healthy food. I did my best on my work trip and while on vacation, but it’s hard when you don’t know what’s going into your food! This week I abandoned my randomizer and just thought up meals that sounded simple, wholesome, and fresh. … More Weekly Meal Plan—July 17-23
As I have mentioned before, growing up, my parents had the attitidue that if I was hungry between mealtimes I could find a snack for myself without adult intervention (for the most part). I have always been a pasta lover, so one of the first things I learned to cook for myself was a big … More Philly Cheese Steak Pasta
Growing up, one of the surest signs of summer was the sight of my grandfather hunched over the kitchen sink and hastily eating a tomato sandwich. … More Ode to the Tomato Sandwich
Hi y’all! Just a quick non-update today. I’m going to be travelling this week and next so no meal plans for those weeks. I’ll be back at it (briefly) July 3 before I am out of town again. Then, hopefully, we’ll resume a normal schedule. Until then, keep an eye out for recipes and some … More End of June/Beginning of July Update
Panzanella is the perfect dish. On the one, it’s technically a salad and is usually bursting with fresh, lightly dressed vegetables that sing in earthy goodness. On the other, it’s full of bread. Toasty, crunchy, chewy bread. Panzanella is a study in oxymorons: A carby, filling, semi-unhealthy salad. But at least there’s greenery? … More Mediterranean Sautéed Vegetable Panzanella
