I love fresh seasonal foods. but I also hate them… I’m a creature of habit, you see. And, when I find something I like, I quickly make a habit of it (eating it, doing it, etc.) So, when I quickly create a new habit, savoring the succulence and sweet sour salubrious sensation of a Meyer…

I’ve really been on a cilantro kick as of late. Sure, I’ve always adored the somewhat sassy herb. But, perhaps it’s my itch for some warm weather that’s drawing me closer to the fresh fragrance and peppery pizzazz of the bright green. I seem to be using it in everything! Oh, and with some zingy…

There seems to be this false illusion that we eat like kings in our house each and every day (well, I suppose like a princess for me). Gorgeously planned meals and superb photos posted 3-4 days each week creates a sense of awe, I believe, in others, as well as myself, at times. Is it…

I love citrus. In fact, we kind of have this “thing” going on at home where we either douse everything in lemon or lime. We’re obsessed. And I love cinnamon. It’s sweet and it’s savory all in one. It’s wonderful. Together, citrus and cinnamon are more than wonderful. They are phenomenal. AND, when combined with…

I had just finished a conversation at home, stating the utter importance of a supremely serene and sublimely clean kitchen in my life. In fact, I believe I could still hear the faint echo of my statement as I ventured upon my juicing journey and witness the massacre of vibrant blood orange sweetness and sticky…

“Arrabbiata” literally means “angry” in Italian. This sauce is red, and it’s hot, and it’s fiercely delicious. There’s nothing angry about it, in fact. It’s just flaming good. (The “angry” term comes from the spicy red pepper goodness it entails). I have fond memories of childhood special occasions of dining out, and always diving into the Penne…

Nothing is really scrambled in this recipe, other than perhaps my brain. I’ve been super busy lately. It’s as simple as that. I’m losing my mind. Thus, I need a super simple sammy for my scrambled brain. The great thing about the simplicity of this concoction, is that it really can be complex as well….

Baked goods really aren’t my thing. Baking is hard. It’s a science. It involves so much chemistry. I like creativity, experimentation, approximation, and a little bit of guessing. Sure, I can do that in the bakery, but more often than not, the mounds of flour turn into a flop. Not this time. A teeny tiny…

I’ve been dying to delve into the kitchen to try the famous “scotch eggs” widely consumed in the Paleo community. I have to admit, though, they have been a bit intimidating. Most recipes bread and fry the little boogers. That’s not for me. But baking the meaty eggs to a crispy crust, while maintaining a bright…
