Perfectly Perfect Red Pepper Hummus

June 13, 2019April 3, 2020 / The Kitchen Kween / Leave a comment

Hummus is one of those things I could shovel into my mouth and not feel too guilty about - it's loaded with protein, fiber, good fats, and flavor. There are way too many different kinds, brands, and pretty much every flavor you would (or wouldn't) want at the grocery store... but it is so easy … Continue reading Perfectly Perfect Red Pepper Hummus

How to Oil and Maintain Wooden Cutting Boards (and Spoons!)

May 29, 2019April 3, 2020 / The Kitchen Kween / Leave a comment

I've heard a lot of people say that a really good chef's knife is their favorite tool in the kitchen, but what good is a knife if you have nothing to cut on? And while having a great knife is definitely important and makes things so much easier, I'd say that having a great cutting … Continue reading How to Oil and Maintain Wooden Cutting Boards (and Spoons!)

Rustic Earl Grey Butter Cookies

May 22, 2019May 22, 2019 / The Kitchen Kween / Leave a comment

I am not a baker. I will never be a baker. The closest thing to me being a baker is literally when I turn on the oven, set it to "Bake," and just throw something in there. That being said, I have a deep respect and appreciation for those people who have mastered the craft … Continue reading Rustic Earl Grey Butter Cookies

Chicken Tinga Tacos

May 15, 2019May 15, 2019 / The Kitchen Kween / Leave a comment

So here's the thing - I'm on the train to work right now, and I am STILL thinking about the tacos we had last night. Juicy, smoky chicken in a spiced tomato sauce, cotija cheese, radishes, and smashed avocado. I mean, does it get any better than that? Not really. I love chipotle peppers. In … Continue reading Chicken Tinga Tacos

Perfectly Perfect Gin Pesto

May 8, 2019April 3, 2020 / The Kitchen Kween / Leave a comment

Pesto is one of those things that is conceptually super simple, but can somehow end up being an overarching term for any green, basil-based condiment. I recently rewatched Salt Fat Acid Heat again, and seeing Samin Nosrat with Lidia, grinding together pine nuts and fresh basil in a mortar and pestle in the mountains of … Continue reading Perfectly Perfect Gin Pesto

Rustic Zucchini, Tomato and Pesto Tart

May 1, 2019April 30, 2019 / The Kitchen Kween / 1 Comment

After making that crudités platter last week, I still had hella veggies leftover - which really is no problem at all, but finding something to do with them can be a little tricky sometimes. I had already had giant salads the next two days, and been throwing veggies into literally everything I could, so coming … Continue reading Rustic Zucchini, Tomato and Pesto Tart

7 Tips for a Perfect Crudités Platter

April 24, 2019April 23, 2019 / The Kitchen Kween / 2 Comments

To be completely honest, I've always been a little scared to try and assemble a board, because they always seems much more fancy and elegant than I've ever considered myself to be, but they're actually incredibly easy! The hardest part really is just finding the right kind (and size) of tray for what you need. … Continue reading 7 Tips for a Perfect Crudités Platter

Perfectly Perfect Scrappy Vegetable Stock

April 17, 2019April 3, 2020 / The Kitchen Kween / 1 Comment

A few weeks ago, Andy was looking for something in the freezer and happened upon my giant bag of vegetable scraps and trimmings. He pulled it out and looked at me like I had gone a little crazy, and that he was worried I might be sneaking him scraps like a dog. (Which we don't … Continue reading Perfectly Perfect Scrappy Vegetable Stock

Balsamic Butter Pork Chops

April 10, 2019April 9, 2019 / The Kitchen Kween / Leave a comment

For some reason, my mom would make pork chops at least a couple times a month when us kids were little. And even though she always tried her best, bless her, she always ended up with tough chops and would compensate by drowning it in some kind of mystery gravy. Up until I was about … Continue reading Balsamic Butter Pork Chops

Charred Lime and Nopal Salsa Verde

April 3, 2019April 5, 2019 / The Kitchen Kween / Leave a comment

This lime-forward and grassy salsa is the perfect addition to any Latin recipe, but especially anything with pork. Add to tacos, enchiladas, nachos carnitas, or anything else you can think of!

Pozole Verde with Pork and Rice

March 27, 2019March 26, 2019 / The Kitchen Kween / Leave a comment

You know how when you’re little and you get sick, you are given soup? I think it’s kind of a universal thing for some reason. Whenever one of us kids got sick, it was a never ending cycle: chicken noodle soup, saltines, 7-up, and more chicken noodle soup. Looking back on it, it seemed like … Continue reading Pozole Verde with Pork and Rice

Yucatán-style Carnitas with Achiote

March 20, 2019March 23, 2019 / The Kitchen Kween / 2 Comments

I don't think that I've mentioned it before, but I absolutely adore Andy's parents. They're loving, supportive and solid as a rock, all while being the life of literally any party. So when Andy said they were coming over last weekend, I was super excited! He was talking to them on the phone, and I … Continue reading Yucatán-style Carnitas with Achiote
