Returning food to the sacred
As the heat rises, I tend to eat cooler or cold foods. There is nothing as satisfying as a refreshing salad or drink in the hot Summer months. To that end, I’m inventing salads left and right. Needing something cool to eat doesn’t cancel out the fact that I also want something that has been […]
This is a cold weather comfort dish I love to make and created when I was down to VERY little at home and was too cold here in the mountains to go out and buy more food. Mind you, that too cold for me constitutes 55 degrees outside, but this particular week it was […]
We spent a week in Barcelona, which was lovely, I must say. Landing there was a hint of a past full of whispers. Somewhere further into this country, there are countless distant relatives, and one day soon, I’ll make my way to Galicia, where my grandparents were born. But for this week, it was just […]
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.

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 […]
My entry into Thailand, though easy and thrilling, came with some huge food difficulties. Being gluten intolerant, I knew that I was going to have to be really mindful of what I ate, and ask questions about what I was eating. Man, did it turn out to be harder than I expected! At one point […]
Boy did these babies take some serious work! I cannot tell you how many muffins I made until I got this recipe right. I’ve pretty much been banned from making any more in this house for the next year! However, I will say it was worth it. They are moist, deliciously tastey, and are perfect […]
The last week has been an intense stretch. I’m deep into the Food Practice eBook, and site revamp and newsletter creation and so many things are falling to way side. I just keep thinking, two more weeks, two more weeks and THEN it will all get attended to. It makes me laugh somewhat and honestly? […]
Green beans have been in season here for a few months now. Admittedly, they aren’t my favorite, but because we get them through our CSA I decided to play with them a bit to see how to pep them up a bit. What I’ve discovered is that for most of my life, the times that […]
