LIGHTEST LEMON RICOTTA PANCAKES

We’re two months deep into a New Year, and tons of the things I planned on bringing you in January and February faded behind the blur of snow days and school closings, two weeks of construction (we have new wood floors!!) and occasional escapes to the mountains to ski. I am learning to have a looser grip on all the things I’ve planned (including my kids staying little forever) and riding the wave. I like this looser version of myself, but it’s not always quite as productive.

No matter, sometimes time gives us new and necessary inspiration. So let’s get right to it—these Lemon Ricotta Pancakes are light, ethereal, beautiful and easy to make—and they really take to any topping you can think of.

I made them during a blustery white squall last week that left us with another dusting of powder—and they are very apropos apres ski feeling fare (something about the lemon! And Egg? And the souffle-like quality of the egg whites folded in? We pretended we were in Austria).

OATMEAL YOGURT PANCAKES WITH BLACKBERRY CRUSH

THIS, FRIENDS, is the very first recipe I ever wrote for my first solo cookbook, The Newlywed Cookbook, many moons ago. While pancake consumption is up 200% in our house (thanks, quarantine), I thought it was high time I share it with you here.

This fluffy, sustaining pancake is as delicious as it is beautiful—and super special to me, because I created the recipe while writing the proposal for my first book, holed up in a friend’s cabin in the woods. I was there for a long weekend with my then very new husband, Andras, aiming to write a book proposal in just three days, stopping and taking breaks only to feed and walk laps around the garden (feels kind of like these days were in, now)…

EGGS FOR WINTER WEEKENDS || CHEESY BREAKFAST EGG + POLENTA CASSEROLE

I wasn’t raised to toot my own horn, so sometimes I’m shy about sharing my new work, especially when it’s in the New York Times, which still makes me giddy. It was always my dream to be published there and even after years of publishing my recipes in magazines like Saveur, Food & Wine, Martha Stewart Living and Real Simple, this still feels big to me because I love the way they approach food—it’s smart, fresh, super universal (no culture left behind) and perhaps most importantly, massively vetted, with tried and true recipes you can absolutely trust.

THE ULTIMATE PUMPKIN PIE MILKSHAKE || LIFE AFTER THANKSGIVING

Sorry for the crazy food porn. It’s for your own good. We’re taking a break from gift guide for a minute because pumpkin pie withdrawal is a real thing. Especially if, like me, you sort of skipped Thanksgiving this year and have had nary a sliver of whip-cream-topped pumpkin custard all season. It’s not good.
