Cooking for two in a tiny apartment kitchen can often turn out quite delicious, even if it’s by accident and without any counter space. I do a lot of improvising and never measure. Eyeball. Guesstimate. Taste test.

Typically the week we go grocery shopping I end up cooking every day that week, minus a takeout here and there. The following week we eat like crap. All of these images must have come on a shopping week unless I had to fight off starvation with our slim, barely stocked pantry and got creative.

Omelet with heirloom tomatoes, ham and basil.  /  Baked eggs with cream, sun-dried tomatoes and chives.

Cheesy chicken tortilla soup.  /  Asian dumpling soup with mushrooms.

Roasted cod with lemon, chives and fingerling potatoes.  /  Pistachio-crusted scallops with white wine cream sauce.

Baked potato bar with all the fixings.  /  Quinoa stuffed squash.

Pasta carbonara with peas and chicken sausage.  /  Frontera Red Chile Mole Chicken with brown rice and asparagus.

Caprese skewers with prosciutto.  /  Clementine pound cake with vanilla ice cream and raspberries.

I should really stop taking photos with my iphone. I know. Thanks!
