One Girl's Adventures in Moderation!

A little happy hour date with my handsome husband. 🍹

The Good Drive cocktail at Cafe Maud is made with vodka, iced tea, lemon, peach & thyme, and at $10 during happy hour, it’s a pretty good place to start.

Add spicy tuna crispy rice (not on the happy hour menu, but worth every penny) and a $7 pizza, and suddenly we have ourselves a pretty great way to wrap up the week. 😂🍕

But honestly, my favorite part of the deal is getting a little time together. No big plans, no special occasion. Just the two of us, a few good bites, and a reminder that dating my guy is still one of my favorite ways to spend my time. 😍

Tiny squash, big fall energy. 🍂
These adorable little honeynut squash got the savory treatment tonight: a light spritz of cooking spray, garlic powder, freshly cracked black pepper, fresh thyme, and a generous sprinkle of Parmesan. Then into the oven for forty minutes or until tender, golden, and delicious.
Honeynut squash has a natural sweetness, and the garlic, pepper, herbs, and salty Parmesan are the perfect counterpoint. Proof that you don’t need a complicated recipe to make seasonal vegetables feel special.

Are you team sweet squash or team savory squash?

My husband made the most gorgeous Dijon and Cognac beef stew recipe from NYT Cooking tonight. 👌🧑‍🍳 And served it with air-fried tater tots. 😂
Let’s be clear: the stew was delicious. Rich broth, tender beef, mushrooms, carrots, and all the depth you get from a recipe that asks you to put in a little time and effort. He took the assignment seriously. 🫡
The side dish? A bag of tater tots and an air fryer.
And you know what? I respect the range. 🇫🇷🥔
Because sometimes dinner is a complicated, from-scratch labor of love. And sometimes the perfect accompaniment is a crispy potato nugget. 😂

Recipe for the stew below and tell me: are you team tater tot or would you have preferred a different potato preparation?

Martini service? Oui, chef! 🍸
We had a beautiful French bistro dinner at Quatorze and we can’t believe we’ve been walking past this neighborhood gem for years without stopping in.
We had:
🥗 An endive salad with Roquefort blue cheese and walnuts for me.
🥣 A cup of French onion soup for him.
🍗 Herbed grilled chicken with pommes frites and sautéed spinach for me.
🍷 Beef bourguignon for him
This meal was absolutely delicious! We’re kicking ourselves that we hadn’t been, and are already planning our next visit!
A special shoutout to Alex, who made us feel so welcome with his friendly service. It’s always a pleasure when a great meal comes with genuine hospitality.

I don’t know as much about French food as I do Italian. What classic French dish would you recommend me to try next?

Happy Wednesday, y’all!
Happy Vesting Season to my husband, and all who celebrate! 😆

In a neighborhood that knows a thing or two about latkes, could these be the next best thing? 👀
Potato + zucchini latkes at Dear Margo, made with EVOO and served with yogurt and crushed tomato.
The Upper East Side has some serious latke credentials, so this is a bold claim. But these were veryyyyyyy good. And since I’ve been trying to get in here for months, they were also very worth the wait!

Would you give the zucchini version a try?

Sunday Supper No. 1: Chicken Cacciatore 🍷
Some meals are made for Sunday.
The kind that starts with onions, garlic, carrots and mushrooms slowly cooking in the kitchen, followed by chicken getting beautifully browned before everything comes together in a rich tomato and w**e sauce.
Chicken cacciatore is one of those recipes that doesn’t need much fuss. It just needs a little time.
And that’s really what I want this Sunday Supper series to be about: food worth slowing down for.
Served with a hearty mushroom pearl couscous to soak up every last bit of that sauce.

Sunday suppers start here. ❤️

What’s the meal you make when you want Sunday dinner to feel like Sunday dinner?

Your Aperol Spritz just got a fall wardrobe change. 🍂
I made one tiny swap to the classic: rosé Prosecco instead of regular Prosecco. That’s it. No complicated syrups, no pumpkin spice, no reinventing the wheel. Just a gorgeous rosy-orange color that feels very October.

Fall Aperol Spritz
🍊 2 oz Aperol
🥂 4 oz rosé Prosecco
💧 1 oz soda water
🧊 Plenty of ice
🍊 Orange slice (or a mandarin!) for garnish

Fill a w**e glass with ice. Add the Aperol, rosé Prosecco, and soda water. Give it a gentle stir, garnish with your orange or mandarin, and you’re ready for cocktail hour.
And suddenly, our summer spritzes have a whole new personality.

Would you make this Fall Aperol Spritz?

*Will definitely stop for coffee.
Happy Hump Day, friiiiiends! 👋

Farmer’s Market flowers, pickles on sticks, clams, clams, and more clams, a blazing fire in the backyard, and a lot of deep belly laughs.

Mostly, though, just really good time spent with family and friends. 🥰

The kind of weekend you wish you could bottle up. ✨🍾✨
