Before strawberry season passes, you must make this simple beauty of a salad. I’ll admit, our local coop makes an amazing pesto with cashews and pine nuts that I can’t quite recreate at home so I use it as our house pesto. Go ahead and use your favorite too! Take that semi-homemade theme and run with. There are only three ingredients to this tomato-less caprese: sweet and juicy strawberries, fresh mozzarella, and that herbalicious coating.

My inspiration for these non-chocolate dipped strawberries came a few weeks ago, actually by accident. I love to drizzle coconut butter on my oatmeal, which I had just topped with sliced strawberries. The coconut butter hit the cold strawberries and coated them solid, like magic shell does. Bingo. Instead of finishing my breakfast, I took out the carton of strawberries and went on a dipping frenzy to see if it would work.

this … As much as I love sharing a meal with others, I equally enjoy the solo dining experience. And since I typically travel alone, it happens quite often. You’ll usually find me seated at the bar, not because I’m a big drinker (one glass of wine is my max when I’m in an unfamiliar […]

Meatballs…… sound so rough and tough, burly if you will. Not always the prettiest spectacle of meat, and with balls in the title, they tend to evoke a childish giggle. But really they’re quite the hero, something you can make once and hack your way around several meals throughout the week, even breakfast. If there is such a […]

Swirled throughout creamy greek yogurt, the magenta hues of the beets are one of the most gorgeous colors I’ve ever seen. Top your bowl with your favorite nutty granola, or maybe make this clumpy version that I think sounds amazing, and your spoon will be scraping the bottom. Smooth and crunchy, earthy and sweet – the yin and the yang. And don’t worry, the beets are already sweet from being roasted, which heightens their natural sugars so they act more like a fruit than a vegetable in this application.

this … While I was in Long Beach a few weeks ago visiting my friend Meg, she made sure we got to the Sunday farmers market for juicy California strawberries. As their season has just begun in the sunny state, they were freshly picked, evident from the dew still dancing on the wood crate. I ate several before I […]

Making Cabbage Fennel Soup This soup is a marriage of humble components that are often overlooked: cabbage, fennel, and brazil nuts – yes, the ones commonly left in the jar (grin). Sautéing the vegetables allows them to lightly brown and really bring out their earthy sweetness. When the stock gets added, so do the chopped brazil nuts, […]
