Just like clockwork, when spring started showing itself around the Pacific Northwest, something akin to an alarm went off in my head saying, “it’s time to obsess over a springy salad.” I’ll be generous and say my “internal alert” was attributed to the arrival of fresh spring produce, rather than, ahem, the impending doom of […]

Hello! It’s wonderful to be back after a three month break. And by “break”, I mean three months of chasing a toddler around during a pandemic (but without any blog responsibilities). I started Dahlia Kitchen in the fall of 2016 and while I love cooking and recipe development, I needed a some time away. Now […]

I wish I could poll all of you and ask, “what is the difference between pizza and flatbread?” The official answer, from my unofficial google research, is that pizza is made with yeasted dough, whereas flatbread is sans yeast (hence, the name flatbread). However, I think many of you might agree with me that the […]

If you want to know what we’ve been eating the past two months, this is it. I guess you could say this salad has been stealing the show since it’s almost Halloween and I have yet to make a “quintessentially fall” recipe like chicken pot pie or a cozy soup (gasp!). However, I’ll confess that […]

If you had asked me a few years ago if I like shakshuka, I would have given you an ambivalent, “not-that-into-it” answer. But then I went camping with some friends and my friend Erika brought a skillet of shakshuka to heat over the fire for dinner. We tore a loaf of fresh bread into chunks […]

In COVID quarantine I’ve gone back to my midwest roots and rekindled my love for egg salad, chicken salad, and next on the list is jello salad (ok just kidding regarding the jello salad). I’ve tried variations on this chicken salad before, sometimes with raisins or dried currants (no thanks, but you go right ahead), […]

The most common request I receive is for quicker, weeknight-friendly meals. This recipe is exactly that. It’s a “one pan” and leftover friendly dish (why not save yourself the trouble of making lunch the next day?). We eat these wraps on a regular basis, and sometimes I’ll change things up and make them into a […]

Someone please tell me if I’m missing out, but most years Patrick and I do not go out to dinner on Valentine’s day. We generally find ourselves at home or hanging out with friends. I’ll be honest, it gives me an excuse to make pasta for dinner and something indulgent and chocolate-y for dessert (like THIS […]

I had every intention of posting this recipe on the first day of fall, but like most things right now, our newborn’s needs trump nearly everything else. I’m fairly certain that baby spit up has touched every upholstered surface of our home, and I reached a new low this morning when I (knowingly) drank a […]

I used to feel incredibly disappointed that I could not find spaetzle at the grocery stores I frequent, but I finally discovered that making my own spaetzle is an easy and (likely) a more delicious option. Of course, once I started making my own I stumbled upon a grocery store that does indeed sell spaetzle. […]
