Recipes

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 […]

I'm hoping to remedy the lack of new recipes appearing here, because I have several great recipes to share with you, new ones that have emerged from a new necessity to make meal-planning and preparation a little easier, less time-consuming and good for Theo. 

When I received my February edition of Bon Appétit Magazine, I cheered. I love that a food magazine is promoting a healthyish way of eating, not as a diet or deprivation, but as a balanced pursuit of enjoying delicious food and feeling good. As anyone who reads this blog knows, I love food. And while I am trying to consciously […]

There haven't been a lot of recipes appearing in this space lately, have there? It's not because I'm not cooking. I am. But how do blogging mamas find adequate time to test a recipe and measure ingredients and take thoughtful photos and write an interesting story and get it posted before that dish goes completely out […]

If you're a regular here, you know that food is a big part of our life. So, I was keeping my fingers crossed that Theo would be a good eater. And boy, is he ever! He wants to eat anything we're eating, whether it's avocado toast or pulled pork or ice cream. We have to […]

When Theo was born, he spit up quite a bit and was very gassy. He didn't spit up enough to be diagnosed with reflux, but enough that I was concerned that something in my diet was bothering him. When it comes to food sensitivities in your breastfed baby, it can be a frustrating process to diagnose […]

As I mentioned in my last post, I've decided not to go back to work, at least for now. Before Theo was born, I wasn't sure if I would want to still want to work on projects part-time, or if i would want to be a full-time mama. I'm not really surprised that I love […]
