Watermelon Popsicles

Who’s to say when a popsicle is a popsicle? Let me be clear: these watermelon popsicles are frozen slices of watermelon on sticks. (Or not on sticks—you can freeze slices or wedges and use the rind for a good grip.) I tried making watermelon popsicles in molds, and I genuinely prefer the texture and flavor of…

Quinoa Tabbouleh

Tabbouleh fans, have you tried making it with quinoa? This recipe is a fun variation on classic tabbouleh made with quinoa instead of bulgur wheat. It turns our favorite Lebanese salad into a gluten-free dish. The quinoa is fluffy and has a somewhat nutty taste, but overall, the flavor profile is quite similar. Since I…

The gimlet is a classic cocktail that deserves more attention! Made with gin, lime juice and sweetened with simple syrup, it comes from the sour family of cocktails (my specialty). Save the elaborate cocktails with unrecognizable ingredients for ordering at fancy bars—a simple, citrusy, not-too-sweet cocktail at home is one of life’s simple pleasures. The…

Negroni Sbagliato Cocktail

Negroni sbagliato means “mistaken Negroni” in Italian, but can I tell you something? I think it’s an improvement on the original. Classic Negronis are comprised of gin, sweet vermouth and Campari. The Negroni sbagliato uses prosecco instead of gin, which makes the Negroni sbagliato lighter, bubbly, and less severe. It’s bitter but balanced, like the…
