Tomato tea and massahhhhhhhge
Most of my meals today have been out of a bowl. First, this morning’s oats, and then this afternoon’s stellar sniffle remedy. Tomato tea! Whenever I start to feel under the weather, I usually try to fight it by upping my fruit and veggie intake, fresh juices (Liv and I made a Whole Foods run…

Rainy night, Indian food on the couch = not too shabby. We made a little stop at Saffron to get takeout for dinner, and per usual, it was everything I could wish for. I’m so excited that we found an Indian restaurant in Tucson that we LOVE. Chicken tikka masala, dal mahkani and chicken vindaloo…

Got on my race face
Not many pics in the land of food for ya today. Thank goodness I made a breakfast cookie so it would be ready- the whole house woke up at 7:45! I haven’t set an alarm in about 6 1/2 months for anything, knowing my little sidekick would get me up with pleeeeennnnty of time…
Read More →An Interview with David Kirsch
One thing I’m trying to get better at: interviewing others. I get press requests to interview various personalities on a regular basis, but either a) chicken out for fear of potential awkwardness, or 2) it’s something I decide I want to go for, and realize it’s a day that I’m at work teaching. Recently, I…

Spicy almond butter zucchini chips
A couple of weeks ago, I got my hair Keratin-ized. It had been over a year (!) and I was so excited to defrizzify my mane. Madre hooked it up -you can read more about the type of treatment I get here– and I gave myself a kink by wearing a ponytail a couple of…

Can we just take a moment here? Two of my favorite things EVER (chocolate and vino) had a lovechild. And it is a delicious lovechild. To be honest, it was a little on the sweet side, but it didn’t stop me from having a hefty glass with the fam. Think of it like wine Bailey’s.…

Before I start this post, I have to say that Livi crawled FORWARD today. I’m such a proud mama <3 The best part about having a beautiful meal cooked by others? Leftovers. (Please to excuse the crazy hair) I came home from work on my lunch break and was so stoked to see some pasta…

Two pro chefs in our kitchen? Not a bad place to be…. While Meg, Liv and I hung out, my Uncle E and Kyle were busy whipping up an amazing feast. As soon as he got home from work, we made a Pilot sandwich… Sleepy girl went up to bed, and then the rest of…

Quick hummus and veggie pizza
i think they’re definitely related 😉 Our aunt, uncle, and cousins got in from Key West last night, and since then, our house has been bustling with familia. I love it so much. It’s amazing to look at the girls and see their ranging ages- almost like having a glimpse into the future. Since they…

Sweet Potato chocolate chunk cookies
I’ve created a monster. Who knew that sweet potatoes and chocolate could get along so well? I think we all know about my disdain for vegetables and sweets together. I enjoy my frijoles just as much as the next girl, but keep them far, far away from my desserts. And then, I tried making sweet…

Good to see ya again
Breakfast was the return of an old fave: Quinoa bowl! Since I usually make a giant batch of quinoa and lentils for the week, I figured I’d leave the quinoa plain since it would be more versatile that way, and didn’t season it so we could do sweet or savory versions. I picked up a…

Monsooner or later
This year’s summer monsoons have been a dud so far. Every afternoon, the clouds creep in, looming and promise an epic rainstorm, and so far it’s only been a few sprinkles here and there. Last year’s were so amazing, I really can’t complain, but I’m excited for some real monsoon action…. especially since that means…
