By the time February rolls around, my hunch is that most of us could use a little extra tlc.
Not that there’s anything wrong with the soul crushing depths of winter, plenty of notable Pisces have emerged from the doldrums: Chopin, Renoir, Michelangelo, Ginsburg, Einstein, Alexander Graham Bell, and Justin Bieber (nuff said)….
I thought maybe a little tropical warmth might be in order, particularly for those of you in the Midwest; I’m thinking of you, it’s cold out there.
Here’s an approchable plant-based variation on the delicious Thai classic Tom Kha Gai. I suspect many of these ingredients are staples, so I’m hoping you can pull this aromatic soup together without too much heartache. …
A little something to enjoy with your beetroot latte, then?
Coming up on six years in California and I still have to pinch myself every time I get to walk out into my backyard to pick fruit for a recipe. …
What do you mean you’ve never had a beetroot latte?
But seriously, to the two of you who clicked on this post, welcome. I hope you love this recipe! …
Friends, I’ve got the perfect salad to have up your sleeve during the holidays! So much flavor coming from a handful of ingredients (luv that) dressed in a tangy apple cider vinaigrette with pretty pom jewels (psst: it features 4 greens but nobody will care, because it tastes that good!)
My husband and I have been eating it on the regular and the boys, just back from school, gave it the big thumbs up (well they didn’t actually elevate their thumbs, too much work, but they pretty much licked their bowls clean, the ultimate test). …
I realize that for some of you, the slow cooker is now a relic from the past tucked away in the recesses of the basement with a sticky note marked donate if possible.
Those of you who know your way around an instant pot (don’t look at me, I still use libraries), will likely know how to adapt this recipe to make it just right. …

Friends, it’s December 1st and I haven’t done a Favorites post in forever! Time to share a few things I’ve been crushing on lately (trust me when I say that I had to sit on my hands not to write about my favorite deodorant; thought it might get me booed off the stage; wait, you want me to gift someone deo?). …
Since posting this recipe, many of you have dropped in to share your love of the creamy Peruvian bean (commonly known as the mayocoba bean).
The bean’s mild flavor and plump, buttery texture contrast beautifully here with the bolder, earthen flavors of Romesco and its ripply, almond textured body. The result is a pleasure dome for the senses (yes indeed, more Romeo’esque yearning coming your way)….
I can’t help but think that Shakespeare really meant to write a love story about Romesco.
Have you tried it?…
Food photo tip #27: be sure to shoot on a full stomach otherwise you’ll probably eat the dish before you get the perfect shot.
No truer words have ever been written. …
