I admit that the world needs another macaroni and cheese recipe about as much as it needs another Fast & Furious film…I concede that. And yet I’m going to share my mac n cheese recipe with you anyway, which I’m sure comes as a surprise to exactly no one. While I am not above hungrily […]

For all of my non-adult years (a debatable number, depending on whom you ask) I equated squash with baby food. Not that I was that far off, as those of you with children can attest. But like a few other foods (tomatoes, beans, and even honey), I have seen the light and crawled out from […]

I’ve been making these stuffed bell peppers for years and finally they get their debut on Dahlia Kitchen. I remember them being one of my earliest go-to recipes that I adapted to feed my vegetarian, gluten free, or dairy free friends.

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 […]
