My Utensil Crock is on a brief cooking hiatus. I will be posting some of my greatest hits during this time. I can't wait to make this Matza Lasagna for Passover this year. If you are looking to change it up a bit this year (or if this is one of your faves), I hope you enjoy this recipe! Love this. A simple Passover-friendly version of a classic ... view more

There is a (very) small farmer's market just ... view more
The memories associated with this chicken salad! During the first summer of law school, between my first (1L) and second (2L) years, I lived in a large studio apartment in Chicago above a Whole Foods. Did not have to go outside to shop. It was my introduction to yuppies amassing in the same place to pick up prepared food at the end of the ... view more
