Over the last few months, I have added batch-roasting veggies to my weekly food prep routine. A couple pots of grains along with 3-4 baking sheets of roasted veggies and I have myself several weekday meals in the fridge, ready to go. Cauliflower always seems to make it’s way into the mix. It’s easy to prep (my little girls love [...]
Our household has been BUZZING these last couple weeks. With family in town and the girls out of school for winter break, our regular routine has been knocked sideways. Thank goodness for Friday’s CSA box delivery. We were down to some very slim pickings here with no time for a proper trip to the market. The box was full of [...]
Thank goodness for soup. At least once or twice a week, I will pull out the big soup pot and start to “create” with whatever is on hand. One pot, a few ingredients, 30-minutes of stove time and dinner is on the table. When I do my food prep for the week, I keep soups in mind, roasting veggies for [...]
One of the tricks I learned early on about healthy eating is a bit of pre-planning and advanced food prep can go a long way. Like most folks, I was coming home at the end of a long day completely wiped out and ready to eat. The last thing I wanted to do was spend an hour or so waiting [...]
A few months ago, Bob and I joined Feral Kevin of ForageSF for one of his wild food walks in Golden Gate Park. We had a great time, learning all about the wild edibles that are growing right outside our back door. Admittedly, we haven’t done much harvesting of stinging nettles or miner’s lettuce since but it is good fun [...]
A couple weeks ago, we went to visit friends in Point Reyes. They stay in a beautiful spot, perched high on a hill overlooking the Tomales Bay wetlands. Sweeping views, fabulous bird watching (if you’re into that kinda thing), lots of opportunity to soak in the fabulousness of northern California. And the best part of all – the outdoor, wood-fired [...]
I have collected my fair share of cookbooks over the years. It’s always good fun to go back and look at what I have up there on the shelf. Much like pictures, they all tell a story. Take the three cookbooks ALL about grilling meat – clearly from those early courtship days with my steak-loving boyfriend (now near-vegetarian husband). There [...]
There really is no end to the number of options when it comes to stir-frying. It’s kind of like making a bit pot of soup. You can throw almost anything in there and it will be fabulous. Assuming, of course, that you are building on a deliciously solid foundation. For soup, it’s all about the stock. With a stir-fry, your [...]
Another year, another list of really-I-am-going-to-do-it-this-time resolutions. Honestly, I am a sucker for January 1st. For me, the new year offers up a kind of hall pass to think of all the fabulous ways to spend the next 12 months. More yoga, for sure. Less time staring at a screen. Lots more no-hurry, no-pressure time playing in the kitchen. Total [...]
Kale is pretty much a year round fixture in our house now. Warm or cold, it is a healthy, hearty alternative that pleases everyone. Even my little girls (arguably the fussiest eaters out there, they just can’t say no to a warm batch of kale chips). How kale makes it’s way into our meals tends to vary with the season. [...]
