We’ve hit my favorite month of the year. It’s the time of year when I pull out all my warm sweaters, dust off the boots, and prepare an absurd amount of sweet potato and squash recipes. In Sacramento, the heat begins to break as temperatures settled down into the 80’s and by the end of…

In school, May is the month that brought with it the arrival of summer which meant reading, adventures, and general life catch up. The past two summers, I’ve been writing cookbooks (which I learned does not make…
A Week in Meals (April)

A Week in Meals (March)
