Golden Beet Noodles with Spicy Peanut Sauce
this … Do you spiralize? That exact question pop up at frequently when I’m with girlfriends, using over wine… probably similar to the discussion women had in the 1950’s around their Hamilton Beach stand mixers. I use my spiralizer (this one!) at least once a week. And surprisingly, zucchini, which is usually the vegetable people begin with, is actually […]

Pink Moon Milk {a dreamy sleep tonic}
I’ve been drinking this soul soothing Pink Moon Milk for the last few weeks. I love that this recipe falls into the category of “I’m-delicious-but-also-medicinal”, and is very easy to make.
It’s made with homemade nut milk, honey, and Montmorency tart cherry juice, one of the few natural sources of melatonin, which is responsible for the regulation of the body’s internal clock and sleep-wake cycle. I also added a little ashwagandha, considered an adaptogen, a substance that enhances the body’s adaptive response to stress and balances normal body functions. I love its light sweetness, and the way cherries work with almonds (a classic flavor combination). The dried rose petals certainly add beauty, but the fragrance that drifts to your nose with each sip is quite relaxing as well.

Dunn Brothers: Coffee Changemakers + Five Easy Fixes For Making Better Coffee At Home
Today I’m sharing my five easy fixes for the perfect brew at home. Within that cup, there are so many things I find comfort in. The routine. The smell as I grind the beans. The sputter of the water boiling on the stove top. The swirling motion of the kettle while I brew. My hands around the warm mug. And the first sip of rich energy.
But in the same breath, coffee is a luxury. I rely on it, yet I forget that not one single place on the United States mainland is fit to grow this crop. Millions of miles away, it’s people far less fortunate than myself, working in the coffee fields to bring the morning fuel to our hands.

Vegan Turmeric Fingerling Potato Salad
this … I watch my cat Grace find a sun spot in our house every day it streams through the windows. Her eyes glimmer, she lays down in its golden path, stretching her body as far it’ll go. Basking in the rays, her paws knead the air. I pet her warm tummy, and embrace the […]

A Paris Vacation Without Plans: Our Favorite Things + General Tips
A visual story of our trip to Paris, and why little planning proved to be the reason I fell in love with the city.
By the end of our 8 day stay, all the perceptions I had of Paris were completely diminished. In fact, the exact opposite. This city is sincerely magical, and different, and unique, and beautiful – even on its gray days. Its allure lies not just in the sights, but the subtle aromas, textures, colors and romance in the air. And somehow it balances grand history with the now.

Roasted Cabbage Steaks with Garlicky Beet Sauce + Thoughts From a Former Protector of Feelings
Making Oven Roasted Cabbage Steaks Cauliflower rocked my world when Bon Appetit showed me how to make it like a “steak” a few years ago. Charred edges, tender inside, sturdy enough for a knife, and as satisfying as meat. And now cabbage too. Commonly used for slaw, soup, rolls, and sauerkraut, I hadn’t thought of […]

Rustic Tofu Wild Rice Soup
This creamy soup is packed with lots of color, and hearty vegetables like onion, celery, carrots, and a few mushrooms. It simmers with sprigs of thyme for warm undertones, then finished with half & half and interestingly enough – dijon mustard.

Creamy Cornmeal Porridge with Berries and Honey
this … I am that person who drinks hot coffee when it’s 95 degrees and humid. Similarly, I like a bowl of something warm over cold for breakfast all year round. Chia pudding and overnight oats….. you haven’t won me over yet. That being said, I’ve been experimenting with different grains and ingredients to make porridge, because […]

Blueberry Muffin Yogurt Parfaits with Lemon Curd
Living as a house of two, it seems there are always one or two stragglers left behind from a batch of anything I make. And kind of like root to stem cooking, I like to find creative ways of repurposing baked goods rather than tossing. Of course you could freeze, but admittedly, a lot of things I put in the icebox are forgotten.
So instead, we’re tearing and layering…. making these Blueberry Muffin Mini Trifles with creamy greek yogurt and tart lemon curd. I’m a big fan of contrasting textures in the food I eat, and believe that either salt or tang is the perfect way to elevate something sweet.

Oregano & Butter Roasted Mushrooms with Crispy Crumbs
this … This recipe was created in partnership with Harvest Snaps. We just returned from Paris and absolutely loved every moment. I left a little piece of my heart there, and I”m sure we’ll be back. The history and architecture alone, the immersion into another culture, the beauty down every street, and around every corner, is much more than […]

Banana Breakfast Toast with Tart Cherry Swirled Yogurt and Cacao Nibs + My Relationship with Exercise
A slice of this Banana Breakfast Toast with Tart Cherry Swirled Yogurt + Cacao Nibs has all the elements of a banana split (sans pineapple!), while being wholesome. Creamy, toasty, fruity, and a chocolate, coffee-ish crunch of cacao nibs. Instead of using pre-flavored yogurt, I swirled Montmorency tart cherry concentrate into plain greek yogurt. You’ll notice that tart cherry juice is thicker than normal juice, almost like a balsamic syrup. It’ sweet and tart at the same time.
It’s what I use to fuel my newfound healthy relationship with exercise, one that has been complicated and even harmful in the past. A topic that isn’t talked about much, but I think needs to be. Which is why I’m sharing my story.

Local Gems: The Best Places To Eat In Oahu (2023)
I’ll admit that the eating part of vacation is what I plan first. And what I really, really look forward to. Experiencing local cuisine always gives such interesting insight to culture and history, and a chance to try new things. Before we went to Oahu (here’s my guide to the island + best hikes and views), I created […]
