Have you made sourdough tortillas yet? I can promise you this: they will not disappoint. Now that we've made the switch, we'll never go back. Find the recipe for soft, pliable, delicious sourdough tortillas in my Sourdough Sisterhood recipe book! We've been enjoying next-level tacos on these tortillas for years now, and though Evie usually [...]

spicy yogurt sauce

We've been loving a little more spice in our weekly dinner lineup, from tacos and taco bowls to big ol' balanced bowls (see my highlight over on IG for more on those). And our favorite way to enjoy that hit of spice is with this spicy sriracha yogurt sauce, born from a pre-travel week where [...]

honey lemon tahini dressing

There's something about tahini that I just love. Who's with me? Tahini is a paste of crushed sesame seeds that is widely used in Middle Eastern cooking (and in our kitchen). It's versatile, flavor-packed, and makes such a great base for all kinds of dressings, sauces, and even baked goods. YUM. See our favorite homemade [...]

creamy balsamic dressing

Something about the fall into winter season has me craving arugula salads with warm roasted squash and winter fruit (persimmons, pomegranate, or apple) filled salads with goat cheese, avocado, and leftover roasted chicken. YUM. See my favorite autumn-inspired salad HERE. I never host a holiday dinner without a salad. It's nice to have something fresh [...]

Our garden is booming this year! And I am having fun finding way to put the fruits (and veggies) of our labor to good use. Evie is having so much fun helping her dad and me in the garden, and I love seeing her pick produce straight from the ground to eat right then and [...]

warm roasted cauliflower and kale winter salad

I made this for the first time for my amazing friend Jenna (of Healthy Mama Space) and her family on a recent trip down to San Diego when they welcomed us into their home and treated us like family. Having opportunities to cook a meal for friends is my favorite way to show my love [...]

crack sauce 3 ways + a rainbow bowl of love

It's in gratitude that I honor my friend and Modern Mamas Podcast cohost, Jess, for the naming of this sauce. It is, in fact, potentially as addictive as a drug, but without all the nasty shit that comes along with drug use. Actually, it's quite the opposite: life giving, nourishing, uplifting, and energizing (the kind [...]

grilled watermelon salad

Last weekend my wonderful mother-in-law came to visit and brought us a gorgeous watermelon grown old world style by an 80-year-old man in Paso Robles, California where she lives. I knew I had to do something special with it, so I put this mama brain to use brainstorming ideas. Then, as I was scrolling through [...]

Almost 3 years ago now, Rusty and I honeymooned in Kauai (see pre manbun Rusty?). It was an amazing trip filled with hiking, kayaking, adventuring, and of course, eating. When we travel, we always make a point of trying to experience the place as locals would. We avoid resorts at all costs, stay away from [...]
