Keeping records of anything online for an extended time can be a very humbling experience. Essentially, all your growth in a particular area is out there, and unfortunately, on the internet, it should stay out there, or else the internet overseers get grumpy. What does all of this have to do with a recipe for…

Turkish Eggs with Harissa Butter and Avocado Relish
This post is sponsored by Pete and Gerry’s Organic Eggs. More often than not, I think about how lucky we are to know and have the influence of global cooking. There are endless flavor possibilities, ideas, and fun to be had. I preface with this because these Turkish Eggs are not traditional (but calling this…

Carrot White Bean Soup with Herbs
When it comes to broth-based soups, I have three parts I focus on to make it great. There’s the flavor base, the core ingredients, and finally, the final add-ins. This white bean soup has all my favorite parts. Onions and garlic form the base, the carrots and white beans bring the bulk, and herbs, miso,…
Miso Butter Brothy Beans with Scallions
There’s never a week that goes by that I don’t have a couple of different kinds of cooked beans stashed in my refrigerator. I mostly use them in dishes with many other flavors, but occasionally I like a bowl of comforting beans. These brothy beans doctor up the original bean broth for a cozy meal….
Berbere Butter Braised Carrots with Polenta
This post is in partnership with California Grown. During these times, I’m relying on vegetables that store well and cook easily. These braised carrots are extremely flexible in terms of assembly. Swap out the polenta, change up the spices, even make it vegan! California Grown Carrots It’s no secret that I really love carrots. I…
Baked Cabbage and White Beans
I, too, am lured by the wonders of tasty looking recipes on the internet. Different ideas or fun combinations get stuck in my brain. Usually, in the form of recipes that make me want to try something new. One of the more recent? This caramelized cabbage. Most likely because I like roasted and grilled cabbage,…
Bean and Cabbage Tacos with Pickled Onions
Hi. Things are going to be a little different around here for the foreseeable future. I don’t really plan content too far ahead and I get a lot of inspiration from what I have on hand. That being said, the recipes are going to be really pantry heavy and probably pretty simple (since I have…
Crispy Scallion Asparagus Pizza
This post is in partnership with California Grown. I’m finding myself wanting to spend nearly every minute outside as the weather gets warmer. This feeling also includes cooking and in the case of this recipe, using the pizza oven. I love asparagus for the ease in this recipe and the chili oil takes the whole…
Bitter Greens Salad with Miso-Citrus Vinaigrette
Everyone should have a low-stress salad in their back pocket. There are many ways you can go with a salad like this, but this version has become a favorite. I’ve served it at pop-up dinners and also meals with friends. What works with it is the combination of something bitter (the greens), something sweet (the…
Harissa Sweet Potato Ricotta Toast
This post is in partnership with California Grown. I’m slow to transition out of winter produce, especially with sweet potatoes. I love sweet potatoes (which is probably obvious). This toast is a delightful savory breakfast that’s easily adaptable for a different time of year. California Sweet Potatoes February is always an interesting time in California….
Arugula Delicata Squash Pasta
I was the type of kid who put chips on her sandwich (and by kid, I mean fully functioning adult). It’s a texture thing. I like the crunch paired with the softness of the sandwich. This delicata squash pasta is similar in that it’s not really pasta but a salad with pasta in it. The…
Berbere Sweet Potato Farro Bowls
This post is sponsored by Bob’s Red Mill. See below for more information. There’s nothing like a hearty grain bowl filled with vegetables, grains, and beans. It hits all the points and makes for such a delicious and filling dinner. This particular bowl has some of my favorites (roasted sweet potatoes! farro!) with a bit…
Creamy Carrot-Coconut Soup
I’m popping in to share a recipe from a new cookbook I can’t put down. To be honest, it’s hit and miss with new cookbooks. I’m always looking for a book that challenges my ways of thinking about ingredients whether that’s in a new way to cook or new-to-me flavor combinations. Bryant Terry’s Vegetable Kingdom…
