Asian Turkey Lettuce Wraps

July 5, 2014 by lindsaylcallaway |

When I was in culinary school, I learned something extremely practical for cooking that will help (haunt) me forever. This learning experience is called "mis en place" or in French means "everything in it's place". Before you even turn on the stove

Flank Steak and Grilled Sweet Potatoes

June 23, 2014 by lindsaylcallaway |

Sometimes meals are all about rolling with the punches. Unexpected or unforeseen things happen and instead of getting bent out of shape, just move on! Case in point, my dinner Saturday night. If any of you are from Chicago you are well aware of the

June 17, 2014 by lindsaylcallaway |

I have been on a grilling roll lately! While grocery shopping over the weekend I saw corn that looked amazing and decided that grilled corn and hamburgers would be the perfect summer dinner for this week. Quick, easy, done. At the meat counter there

In With the New

June 4, 2014 by lindsaylcallaway |

This is a pretty nice sight!! After many months of longing for a beautifully simple white dish set, I finally pulled the trigger! I found happiness in the Crate & Barrel "Essential" set. Such a nice upgrade from my inherited blue and green dish

Taste Test Tuesday: the viral dumplings I’ve been Taste Test Tuesday: the viral dumplings I’ve been seeing everywhere! This specific method and recipe is inspired by @everydayisfeastday who is a great chef follow btw!

Another inspiration and chef follow for these was @rappingchef who made a lasagna version which I will definitely try!

I had a lot of filling leftover from this one batch I made so I tried different ways to fold the wonton wrapper and I do prefer the traditional potsticker method but these were fun to try!

Have you tried these?!
This will be your spring snack on repeat-promise! This will be your spring snack on repeat-promise! 

The freshness of this combo with the crunch of the almonds is 👩🏻‍🍳💋

Taste Test Tuesday: @pretzelized pretzel pita chip Taste Test Tuesday: @pretzelized pretzel pita chips and two dips from @traderjoes 🥨

This time of year I like to keep things on hand for spur the moment entertaining as outside play dates tend to linger longer with warm weather and longer sunshine. It’s also nice to keep fun snacks on hand for a patio happy hour, no guests required. 😏

The combo of the pretzel pita chips and dips were delish and will easily take space in my fridge and pantry this season!

Hot take: scones aren’t dry…you’ve just been eatin Hot take: scones aren’t dry…you’ve just been eating the wrong ones. 👀

Scones get an unfair reputation in my opinion. When done correctly, they are delightfully tender and moist. I think we’ve all had a bone-dry scone at least once in our life—the ones that make us decide we’re not doing that again! These are definitely not those. ✨

If you enjoy a lemon poppyseed muffin I implore you to try these scones! There’s a secret ingredient that transcends the flavor of these, I hope you agree! 🤫

Cut them however you like-big or small. Just adjust the bake time accordingly. Sprinkle with crusty sugar or not. You can dip into a glaze or do a drizzle. But I wouldn’t skip the glaze. The tart lemon juice adds a freshness you’d miss, trust me! Spilling the details 👇🏻 

Ingredients:
2 cups flour
1/4 cup sugar
1 tbl baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
2 tbl poppyseeds
6 tbl cold butter, cut into cubes
Zest of 1 lemon
3/4 cup + 2 tbl heavy cream (plus more for brushing)
1 tsp vanilla paste or powder
1/4 tsp almond extract
Optional: turbinado sugar to sprinkle on top

Glaze:
Powdered sugar
Vanilla bean powder or paste 
Lemon juice

Directions:
Preheat the oven to 425. 
Combine dry ingredients in a large bowl and fold in the butter using a fork or a pastry cutter until fine crumbs. (I like to get in there with my hands towards the end.)
Add the lemon zest, heavy cream, vanilla and almond extract and mix just until combined. 
Dump onto the counter and knead the dough until it comes together in a disk. 
Transfer to a parchment lined baking sheet and cut into small or large triangles. 
Brush with heavy cream and sprinkle with turbinado sugar. 
*I normally separate them to bake and prefer this. I left as a disk for this reel and it took about 5 extra minutes to bake. 
Bake for 13-17 minutes and transfer to a wire rack to cool. 

I eyeballed the glaze until I liked the consistency. I didn’t want it too thick but not too thin either. I used the juice of about half the lemon I zested and maybe 1/2-3/4 cup powdered sugar and 1 tsp of vanilla bean powder. 

Enjoy! 🍋

Spent some alone time walking around @surlatable a Spent some alone time walking around @surlatable and @anthropologie 🫶 Is there a better form of self care than that?! 

Saw some absolute gems but didn’t snag anything today. 

Also thrilled I saw @ilovepopsmith in the wild! So fun!
