This unleavened, naturally gluten-free chickpea bread is one of my favorite things to make for myself (socca for one!) and for having people over because it’s sort of impressive and no one else has to know that it’s basically only one ingredient.

The baby is now a toddler?! I now deeply understand how time acts differently the minute you become a parent. It’s all relative to this little creature who is growing way too fast.

Since we’re currently stuck at home during the pandemic and exactly zero people have asked me about skin care, I thought it was a good time to share some of my favorite pieces of sheet to put on my face.

When I say “you” here, I mean “me.” This is how anxiety is helping us with spring cleaning this year.

I’ve been a sorry excuse for a half-Indian woman because I just started making dal for the first time in my many years on this earth. I’ve eaten a lot of dal, but it’s just not something I’ve ever tried to cook until this year.

Radical transparency around the whereabouts of my childhood rock collection.

I don’t want to hype this recipe up too much, but you’re going to wanna make it… like, today. And tomorrow. And the next day for three meals a day forever and ever.

I’d like to talk about the Trader Joe’s Cauliflower Gnocchi. Yes, THE cauliflower gnocchi.

Thank you for joining me here today—I’m back again with another episode of crispy chicken thighs (this one inspired by anchovy lobbyist Alison Roman).

The meals I make most often are usually the ones I forget to document for Worthy Pause. I’ve made this sausage skillet thing many, many times, but it never even crossed my mind that it might be a good recipe to share here until the other day when my daughter was scarfing it down like she hadn’t eaten all day (note: she hadn’t eaten all day because she had refused all the other foods).
