Summer always feels like the time for pizza. Sun and cold drinks and pizza on the deck after a day of playing at the beach or in the park. It’s pretty perfect. Summer always comes late to the Pacific Northwest, and June is often nicknamed ‘Junuary’ because of the June gloom. But now it’s July and the air is heating up, and we’ve been doing lots of playing outside. And eating pizza.
When you visit the Old City of Jerusalem, walk through the entrance to the Muslim quarter and follow the sloped path through the spice vendors and past the shops selling trinkets and kitchenware, until you get to the end.

I hope the first meal plan I shared last week was helpful! This recipe for Huevos Divorciados is on the menu for tonight, but of course, you could make it any time. It’s traditionally served at breakfast, and it’s inspired by a trip to Puerto Vallarta from a few years ago. The last week of…
Welcome to my new website! This project has been many months in the works, to create a website with a new look, feel and navigation that matches my goals for this year and the years to come. If you’re new here, you might start here to learn a little more about me. Or here, to…
A few weeks ago, I taught a cooking class at Ciao Thyme, the first since before I was pregnant. As the room filled and I listened to the laughter and chatter build, I remembered why I love to teach how to make nourishing food delicious and doable, why I love to persuade people they CAN do…
I know everyone has moved on to pumpkins and fall sweaters, but our farmers market this past weekend still held tightly to the last lingering days of summer, with mountains of gorgeous heirloom tomatoes and crates of stone fruit belying the shortening days. Deep purple plums will forever remind me of this summer, as we…
