Hello?! & Welcome to Baby Bump Kitchen, the weekly series where I make a dish based off of the size of my growing baby. Today’s recipe is NOT your nonna’s macaroni ???I’m going to be showing you my version of Persian makaroni, tahdig and all! I always grew up with my mothers makaroni, chock full of veggies and lots of different pasta shapes thrown into the mix ? every Persian household makes it a little differently: mine is always very bell pepper forward, made with a gorgeous sofrito fried down to a jammy mix of sorts to add lots of flavor. The secret to good makaroni is letting it steam for at least 45 minutes on a low flame. That ensures deliciously homogenized final product! And OMG that iconic tahdig crunch. Nothing like it! ?

Hello?! & Welcome to Baby Bump Kitchen, the weekly series where I make a dish based off of the size of my growing baby. Today’s recipe is based off the iconic Nobu avocado crispy rice ???. (Shoutout to @colby.bleistein for showing me the ropes) Crispy rice has always been a bit intimidating for me, but if your oil temperature is good, then YOU are good to fry! Using a food thermometer always helps monitor it so you don’t burn it or have something weird and flaccid. You must make these next time you’re craving something sushi adjacent, and you can top them with just about anything and they’ll be a hit. Trust me!

Hello?! & Welcome to Baby Bump Kitchen, the weekly series where I make a dish based off of the size of my growing baby. Today’s recipe an easy breezy chicken melt with apples, sharp cheddar and the most deliciously iconic spelt polenta bread from @bubandgrandmasbread ???I love this recipe because it comes together in no time; I used a quarter of a rotisserie chicken I had hanging out in the fridge, shredded myself and it was perfect. This recipe also works fabulously with canned tuna or salmon. Also, a lunchtime sandwich isn’t a lunchtime sandwich unless you’ve got some chips and a pickle.

But these aren’t at your average wings, these are sticky, fish saucy, sour, spicy and delicious! These wings packing immediate punch thanks to all that lime and Thai chili.

Hello?! & Welcome to Baby Bump Kitchen, the weekly series where I make a dish based off of the size of my growing baby. Today, we are baking up a date focaccia with agave rosemary butter. This focaccia dough comes together in no time! Super delicious and super quick. Chef hack: soak the dates in warm water for 25 minutes so they don’t burn in the high heat oven. We know there’s nothing better than freshly baked bread and butter, but now you can have the delicious flavors of sweet, savory, salty, buttery, herby freshness in there too.
