A few weeks ago I had the best pumpkin curry soup from the Whole Foods soup bar. The moment I tasted this soup I knew I wanted to make it myself so I snapped a pic of the ingredients list. Thank you Whole Foods for posting this! After a few rounds of testing a I […]
Tacos are the perfect food. They’re easy to prepare, unfussy and somehow they always seem to hit the spot. This summer we’ve been eating some variation of this recipe every week or so. It’s perfect for those busy weeknights when you just need something you can throw together in 30 minutes or less. I usually […]
This is one of my go-to weeknight dinners that can be thrown together in no time, especially if you prep a bit beforehand. I’m a huge fan of meal prepping. After a long day of work and baby chasing I don’t usually have the mind power or energy to think up an interesting meal so doing […]
It’s finally soup weather in California, woohoo! As soon as the temperature takes a dip you’ll surely find me in the kitchen over a dutch oven stirring away. Soup is the perfect food. It’s light yet comforting, filling and packed with vegetables and nutrients. Between work and our curious, newly-crawling, 8 month old we are […]
I can’t count the number of times I’ve made Frittata. It’s one of my favorite meals to make for breakfast since you can use virtually any vegetable you want and it always turns out delicious. Its great for those weekend mornings where you want something quick and simple but a bit more special than a […]
One of my all-time favorite spring/summer vegetables is Artichoke. As a kid I remember eating them with my Dad, simply boiled and dipped in tons of salted butter—yum! A few weeks ago when I went to a chef friend’s new restaurant, they served them grilled with lemon, a (mystery) seasoning and aioli for dipping. It’s […]
I found inspiration for this recipe while reading through some of the notes I made from our summer trip to NYC and Europe. I remembered a lovely appetizer I had at the Bowery Meat Company in New York with thinly sliced zucchini, feta and pistachios. My salad version of the dish is incredibly simple, light […]
So much has happened since I last posted. The summer flashed before my eyes, my husband and I found out that we’re pregnant! We took a two week trip to Europe, although it was without wine and mostly struggling through nausea and jet lag, we still had the time of our lives! I took a […]
If there was one type of cuisine I I could eat everyday and not get sick of it, it would be Mediterranean without question. I love all the different flavors and spices from cumin and paprika to roasted red peppers, kalamata olives and feta cheese. Then there’s the warm homemade pita bread and hummus drizzled […]
Nothing reminds me of summer more than fresh, grilled corn on the cob. As a kid I loved to help shuck the corn. I’d peel back the layers of husk and discover the plump, juicy, golden kernels beneath. Being involved in the cooking process created a sense of ownership of the food that made me […]
