Crispy Baked Brussel Sprouts
Well I can report that a 5 ½ hour road trip with two kids under 18 months is do-able! And an act of pure willpower. Nick and I ventured up the coast this weekend to celebrate a family engagement – an event we knew we didn’t want to miss – so we packed up the…

TJ’s Vegan Dill Potato Gratin
In honor of my in-laws coming down for a weekend of LA adventures, walks, delicious meals, and of course, the list of honey-do’s we’ve been building up around the house for the last few weeks, I am sharing a recipe I like to make for the effortless backyard BBQ dinners for a group. As the…

Din Tai Fung Asian Cucumbers
When I first started sipcookenjoy, I had major aspirations. Not aspirations like becoming the next big influencer, but aspirations like annual recipe round-ups, restaurant remakes, themed weekly meals, cookbook roulette, etc. Cooking can be so fun and I wanted to inspire not only myself but others to have fun with it rather than dinner feeling…

Baked Spinach & Feta Potatoes
Looking for a fun side to your holiday meals? Look no further than these baked potatoes. I love a good baked potato dish as a side when you hit that time of year when your meals need to feed more bellies than you are used to cooking for. I never know how much rice to…

Mango Avocado Salsa
As I continue to pretend I am on official spring break here in Maui, I am leaning into the fresh ingredients I can find on the island and pretending summer is almost here. Though it is decidedly not anywhere near summer back on the mainland. I’ll keep it simple this week with a light, fresh,…

Manchego Dip
If you Google good restaurants here in Venice, you will inevitably come across Gjelina. It’s an institution here and beloved by many. I personally don’t find it all too gluten-free friendly but alas, I will not let that stop me from enjoying what I can! Gjelina just so happens to have a sister daytime spot…

Crispy Garlic Shaved Brussel Sprouts
Coming at you this week with another easy vegetable side to add in to the mix. And trust me, brussel sprouts have never been a favorite ingredient. Growing up, my grandfather hated eating anything “green” and my father had a particular distaste for the vegetable… or maybe it’s just kale he hates… still to this…

Baked Delicata Squash & Pistachios
While it feels like we are winding down on winter meals here in Los Angeles as firestorms rage in the low humidity/high wind conditions, the rest of the country is still in it. So I am sharing this recipe not only as an inspiration for those not in the crazy heat of SoCal but also…

Baked Brie with Prosciutto & Hot Honey
I hope everyone is have a great holiday season! As I finish out the last of my holiday recipes this year, I am moving away from desserts and back into savory — honestly, where I feel most comfortable. More sweet treats next year ha! Are you looking for a last minute appetizer to add to…

Baked Olive & Soppressata Dip
I’d be hard pressed to name a cheesy appetizer I didn’t like. Well maybe something with blue cheese… not a huge fan of stinky cheeses over here. And while I absolutely love a charcuterie board, I admit it can feel a bit run of the mill after your third holiday party. So I’ve been on…
