Hold the Dairy. (And the eggs.)

September 20, 2021 by Amy Langrehr

As I have been telling you (and my brain), I have changed the way I eat over the last year or so. I am very sensitive to eggs (I know, that really stinks) and cow’s milk. So, I’ve been trying lots of non-dairy versions of some of my favorite things like milk, cheeses, etc. Similarly, …

Setting Up Shop — Kitchen Tools Every New Cook Should Have

August 16, 2021 by Amy Langrehr

Everyone has tools that they use all the time and we’d be lost without. I taught a cooking class at a friend’s house a while back and left my favorite spatula behind – you would have thought I left my arm there – I missed it so much! Yes, it’s probably weird that I have …

Grandmom’s Crab Soup

January 4, 2021 by Amy Langrehr

My mom’s crab soup is a classic. It’s simple, easy and incredibly comforting. Like a lot of things she made for us over the years, the recipe wasn’t written down in its entirety — until now. Mom and I have been talking about this soup for the last few months, which kind of broth, crab …

The Best Little Cooking Project You Will Do Over and Over

December 1, 2020 by Amy Langrehr

This is how my brain works. See a photo on Instagram. (The photo above, specifically.) Screenshot it. Think, “I need to figure out how to make that.” Forget the thing. Photo gets buried in others. A few months later, “Oh, yeahhhhhh.” That’s pretty accurate. And this time, I emailed Collin from (the amazing, locally sourced …

These are a few of my favorite things.

November 23, 2020 by Amy Langrehr

Since March, like most people, I have been hunkering down at home. A lot. Very thankfully, I like where I live and as luck would have it, I rescued a wonderful senior dog in January. My girl Magnolia is an  11 year old terrier mix, spry for her age, a little nutty and definitely attached …

In Search of New Food Inspiration

August 18, 2020 by Amy Langrehr

At first — after the Bon Appetit scandal news broke — I was somewhat conflicted. As a middle class, middle-aged white female home cook, I was totally in their target demographic. I had always liked getting the physical magazine in the mail. I’d look through it, dog-earing recipes I might like to — and almost …
