This has quickly become Rusty's favorite weeknight meal, and I'm right on board. With a little prep ahead and the ease of using a quality curry sauce from a jar, it also makes getting dinner on the table so easy, especially on the crazier days when time seems to fly. It's also absolutely delicious, beautifully [...]
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 [...]
We enjoyed a delicious autumn-inspired pizza made by our friends at Ulivo Pizza (an awesome local sourdough authentic Italian pizza truck) last weekend, and it was so good that I was inspired to immediately try my own version. I love how food and flavor can be so inspiring and the many ways that we can [...]
We returned from a super fun summer trip to Central Oregon with a bag of brioche buns from one of our favorite spots, Sparrow Bakery. And I knew exactly what we'd use them for (see our favorite stops here). We also returned with delicious turmeric jalapeño kraut from our friends Jake and Kali, gifted during [...]
Spring is here! And as the weather gets warmer, and we move closer to summer solstice, we start getting extra excited for fresh berries! We've got a whole bunch of strawberry plants getting going, but in the meantime, I found a sweet deal on organic strawberries at our local market. So with a beautiful spring [...]
 We're on an Italian kick over here, and this one is GOOD. It's one of those recipes that I threw together in a super creative mood, Indie on my chest and a glass of Oso Pardo Viura in hand (my new favorite white), that turned out better than I even expected. When that happens, I [...]
I've been feeling way more creative in the kitchen lately, and while I love our staples, it's also fun to try new flavors and ingredients. My dad used to make polenta all the time when we were kids, so this one is nostalgic for me. This polenta skillet isn't just delicious, flavorful, and nourishing, it's [...]
The holidays are upon us, and I would like to take some time to THANK YOU. Thank you for reading. Thank you for caring, sharing, and exploring new ideas, new recipes, and new ways to nourish yourself, the earth, and the ones you love. Because to nourish is to L O V E. This has [...]
These chops are V E R Y special. They were the centerpiece we made for our sweet Evie's first birthday. this year has been one that I will never ever forget. I know people say that a lot, but I mean it. I really do. It didn't flash by like a blink of an eye. [...]
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 [...]
