TO THE POST >>>>Move over, mimosas! This bellini co*cktail deserves a spot on the brunch table too. It's made with two simple ingredients: peach puree and prosecco.
A bellini co*cktail is the perfect fun, bubbly beverage to serve at brunch. It’s refreshing and delicious, and though it feels fancy, it’s insanely simple to make. You just need two ingredients: peach puree and prosecco. I love fresh peaches, and I love sparkling wine, so obviously, I love this bellini recipe. I think you will too! What is a bellini? The bellini co*cktail (not to be confused with Giovanni Bellini, the artist, or Vincenzo Bellini, the composer) was invented by Giuseppe Cipriani, the founder of Harry’s Bar, in Venice, Italy, sometime around 1948. In its simplest form, it consists…

Spring is here: let’s make sautéed asparagus! I’ll have this quick and easy recipe on my table all season long, and I hope you will too. It’s SO simple—you can make it with 5 ingredients in less than 10 minutes—and it’s super versatile. Serve it as a side dish, add it to a frittata, or pile it onto a grain bowl or a plate of polenta. The best thing about this sautéed asparagus recipe, though, is that however you serve it, it really lets the asparagus shine. It cooks up with a juicy, crisp-tender texture, and a squeeze of lemon…

dinner
I’ve been on a BIG burrito bowl kick for the last few months…but I haven’t been getting them from Chipotle. Nope—I’ve been turning out delicious DIY burrito bowls at home! I started making them after I developed these copycat Chipotle sofritas in the fall, and I realized that there was no component of my typical Chipotle order that I couldn’t make myself. Cilantro lime rice? Check. Black beans? Check. Fajita veggies, corn salsa, and guac? Check, check, and check. I’m not looking back! These homemade bowls are fresh, flavorful, perfect for meal prep, and super cost-effective. If you’re a burrito…

Where do you start with a veggie that looks like a miniature globe? I hope that the step-by-step instructions and tips below make preparing cabbage feel simple. And if you need an idea…

TO THE RECIPE >>>>Piled with flavorful veggies like peppers and artichokes, this vegetarian pizza will be a hit at your next pizza night! Fresh basil takes it over the top.
vegetarian
If you were to ask me, “What’s the best vegetarian pizza in Chicago?”, I’d have to ask a few followup questions before I answered. Like, what kind of veggie pizza are we talking here? Because for me, when it comes to pizza, there isn’t one best. Sometimes I’m in the mood for a Neapolitan-style pie with an airy crust and minimal toppings. And sometimes I want something inventive, like the vegan spinach & ranch pizza at Middlebrow in Logan Square. And then there are those nights when nothing but a classic delivery pizza will do. That’s where this veggie pizza…
