Returning food to the sacred
Another salsa I made for the Blooming Table event that I hosted a week ago; Tapanade Salsa. This is really an ode to one of my favorite fruits ever… the olive. Anyone that knows me… knows the obsession. This salsa packs a strong flavor and goes excellently with the cool crispness of a slice of jicama. If you […]
I hosted a Blooming Table gathering last week and served a variety of different Mexican inspired salsas with thick corn chips and slices of jicama to eat them with. I’ll post a few recipes over the next couple of weeks, starting with this one. But I have to say, I’m loving this idea of a […]
I love broccoli and I love dishes I can whip together from memory even more. This is recipe is easy, delicious and nutritious. I last made it for a Thanksgiving meal in May. Yes, Thanksgiving in May. It was put together for a photoshoot and it withstood cooking it hours ahead of time and being […]
I was at a Social Media event at the gorgeous retreat center, Lumeria of Maui the other day. Most of the attendees I already knew, and it was a great chance to explore a new part of Maui, and socialize with friends. As is the case with these gatherings, we all tend to connect over […]

It is the sacred temple in which your holy alchemy becomes a nourishing flame of beauty in your home and community.” ~The Sacred Kitchen I’m still sitting with this practice […]
I was struggling yesterday. Hit a creative wall, where even though I had all the ideas, I just couldn’t seem to move in any specific direction. I know that for sure, I’m in need of a change in scenery, which I’ll be getting soon. But for last night, in the middle of feeling stuck, I […]
