Purple Risotto with Mushrooms and Asparagus
This was an improvised dinner, and one that turned out fantastic! We are moving in about 5 weeks, and I’m trying to think of ways to use what we already have in our pantry so we don’t have a ton of food to move. The solution: grab anything that’s half open and start getting creative! […]
Amazing Vegan Stuffed Pepper Soup!
Stuffed peppers always feel like such a treat to me! Traditionally they are laborious, difficult to bake, and include so many ingredients that we never made them too much growing up. That being said, this soup takes all the best parts of stuffed peppers, and delivers into a quick and equally amazing dinner! This has […]

Family Recipe: Shrimp De Jange
And here is another one from the Family Recipe vault: Shrimp de Jange. I looked up the origins of this dish, and apparently this was created and popularized in Chicago in the 60s- so this fits the timeline perfectly. This was one of the most popular recipes from my grandparent’s restaurant/Supper Club. My dad made […]
Family Recipe: Creamy Garlic Dressing
Another amazing salad dressing recipe from my grandparent’s Supper Club/restaurant in Chicago! While it is a bit heavier than Aunt’s Ruth’s Amaaaaazing Salad Dressing, it has the ability to transform any salad into something you literally cannot stop eating. While the original dressing is below, I will probably add a lot more fresh garlic […]
