I have a little pink notebook with a list of recipes I want to make. These scones were a recent addition. It’s silly considering how many online bookmarks and starred recipes I have on the comp, but when it comes right down to it, I’m a pen and paper person. I love food magazines and cookbooks more than I like the internet. Boom. Deal with that. Most of the recipes are from smitten kitchen and 101 cookbooks – I think Deb and Heidi are awesome. So yeah, Deb’s jalapeno cheddar scones had me all… Read more >

I discovered a way to cheat the system. Now you can get blackened toast marks like you get from grilling burger buns…by putting them on top of the toaster. I’m probably not rocking the boat with this discovery, but I thought it was pretty clever (pat on the back, Elise). You don’t have to smash the buns shoving them into the toaster. And you don’t have to wait for your oven to heat up. It’s super quick and yields nice toasty buns with legit char marks. Of course, your toppings won’t be melty, but… Read more >

Kyle’s on his way home! Weee! After an eternity on my own, I’m re-he-he-heeeeally looking forward to his return. [edited to add: the van broke down and he’s stuck in Albuquerque sorting out the game plan to fix it, so who knows what this means for his return home] Let me just photo bomb you with some recent meals… Carrots, green grapes, Mary’s Gone crackers, Redwood Hill Farm smoked cheddar goat cheese, hard boiled eggs, local smoked almonds (from the Co-op). Very smoke-y, very yummy. Ditto goes for the almonds. Carrots, Mary’s Gone crackers, candied walnuts,… Read more >

When my hands are tied up and time is of the essence, I’ve been relying pretty heavily on two things. Theme number one: snack plates Veggies, meatless meatballs, Stubb’s BBQ sauce, Mary’s Gone twigs, sweet potatoes, daiya cheese, GF tortillas… This was a meatless meatball round (WF / 365 brand is bomb). I go through phases with faux proteins. Beyond Meat strips are a fave. So are hard boiled eggs. But sometimes I just stick to nuts instead of a “meat” snack item. These little plates are ideal for munching while P is not napping… Read more >

I’d never even heard of jackfruit until I moved to Los Angeles. Apparently it’s a pretty popular vegan replacement for meat in dishes that would otherwise use shredded chicken or pulled pork. Something about the stringy consistency. What the heck is jackfruit anyway? It’s a fruit, native to Southeast Asia, with starchy fibrous flesh. The flavor (of the ripe fruit) is said to be comparable to a combination of apple, pineapple and banana – naturally sweet with subtle flavoring. “It can be used to make a variety of dishes, including custards, cakes, halo-halo… The seeds… Read more >
