I love hummus. A lot. On sourdough. As a salad topper. With cheese and prosciutto. For beef stick sipping. Shoot, even just with a spoon. (Note: these pair GREAT with pink pickled onions on everything). I decided it was time to make some myself, and wow am I glad I did. It's delicious, WAY more [...]
This one makes me think of my pink-loving little one, and because of that, it will always make me smile. You should've seen her face when I showed her the jar of bright pink pickled onions for the first time. Instant light. Instant Smile, and a big giant "PIIINK!". Who couldn't use a little more [...]
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 [...]
It's that time of year again. Cold weather, changing leaves, family gatherings, appreciation for all that life has given us, and of course delicious food. Since starting this blog, my family has kind of handed over the reigns in most everything involving food. First, because I am a little particular about what I put in [...]
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 [...]
This is the first time in a LONG time that I've made a recipe and then posted said recipe in the same day. I am giving myself major props here, especially because I am coming off of 5 days of solo parenting that also included flying solo with the babe. Life ebbs and flows, my [...]
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 [...]
Since having a baby, I've consistently been looking for no fuss food shortcuts that DON'T sacrifice flavor or nutrition. Unfortunately, the easiest to grab, quickest to eat foods are usually pretty full of crap (read: freezer meals). Knowing what I do about nutrition and how what I eat directly impacts my little one through breastmilk, [...]
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 [...]
Thank you, dad. Thanks for raising me to love and believe in myself. Thank you for picking on me just enough to give me thick skin, but for loving me so much that I know my worth. Thank you for having different political opinions and for giving me a strong opponent in friendly, eye-opening debates. Thanks for [...]
