I’m about to admit something a little embarrassing… The first time I saw these? I didn’t know what they were and I gave the whole beans to my kids to eat. Raw. AND THEY ATE THEM! Without batting an eye. Pods and all!! So I didn’t think anything of it. A while later I finally got around to reading the weekly CSA email and realized they were fava beans and I was supposed to shell them!! OOPS! I’m pretty sure you CAN eat the pods, but I tried them myself later and they were not… Read more >

Here’s a quick and easy option for week nights. The kids love this and it couldn’t be faster to make! Do you have some kind of lettuce? Frozen edamame? Then you’re set. Sweet Miso Soy Saute Ingredients: 1 tbsp coconut oil 1 tsp sesame oil 1 tbsp mellow white miso paste 1 tbsp maple syrup 1 tbsp water 1 tbsp tamari 3-4 cups greens, chopped (I used both chard and bok choy but spinach would be great) 1 cup edamame to garnish: sesame seeds, green onions, red pepper flakes Directions: In a large saute pan,… Read more >

Thai meatballs! These have very few ingredients but heavenly flavors. You can serve them as a rice bowl w broccoli. Or on the side of a stir fry. Or like I did, on top of a salad.

For the meatballs, I used a combo of ground pork and ground beef, then I added fresh herbs, fresh ginger,… Read more >

In case you were wondering if we still have strawberries overflowing from our refrigerator, the answer is yes… And I have re-made these strawberry muffins THREE TIMES since I first showed them to you all. Which was only, like, a week ago?? You do the math. They are a big time hit in this house. I keep forgetting to write down the recipe as I make it though. I know loosely what I do but each time the batch gets bigger and bigger because we go through them so fast! Anyway, this post isn’t about… Read more >

I keep making different iterations of this same salad because it is SO GOOD. What really makes it is the dressing. It’s crazy how so few ingredients can transform into a something so stellar. Definitely a sum-is-greater-than-it’s-parts kind of thing happening here… Since the salad is inspired by the DIY grain bowl recipe from my latest obsession, Run Fast Cook Fast East Slow, I’ll share the directions as they have written them plus what I chose. I think my combo is amazing, but of course, if you aren’t in the mood for rice you could… Read more >
