Broccoli Baked Potatoes
Look at these broccoli baked potatoes! LOOK AT THEM! Don’t they look cheesy and creamy and delicious and terrible for your arteries?? Well. They are most of those things. But not all of those things. Because we are dieting, folks! We’re countin’ the cal’s, watching our weights. So these broccoli (twice) baked potatoes are actually…
Read MoreQuinoa with Chestnuts and Cherries
This warm quinoa with chestnuts and cherries is chock full of them fall flavors, yo! To be perfectly honest, I’ve had this bag (affiliate link) of Geffen “recipe ready” peeled chestnuts in my pantry for over six months. Bought in LA during the initial wave of weird corona-shopping and moved with us from California back…
Read MoreBok Choy Salad with Apples
In this bok choy salad with apples, you get two kinds of crisp juiciness combined with celery, raisins (or craisins) and cashews in a light, lemony dressing. It’s like a Waldorf salad but grown all the way up. We’ve been getting a LOT of bok choy in our CSA boxes and it’s one vegetable I…
Read MoreRed Lentil Soup
Red lentil soup is a very cheap, healthy, vegetarian soup made with red lentils aka masoor dal (affiliate link) for when your pantry is bare. You could make this with any lentils that you have, but the masoor dal give it a very smooth (and extra soothing) texture. I actually made this for myself to…
Read MoreBok Choy with Soba Noodles
Summer is officially over! Although not so in reality. I happen to love summer, really, but I’m excited for fall because maybe in a month or six weeks it’ll finally drop below 80 degrees. And it means that we’re starting to get some fall crops in our weekly CSA box. It’s honestly been several months…
Read MoreCurried Potato Salad
I woke up today thinking about lamb vindaloo — the vinegary, spicy curry with potatoes — but I don’t eat lamb anymore and then I realized what I really was craving was the salty vinegar-ness. I happened to have a boatload of potatoes from my CSA last week so curried potato salad is what’s for…
Read MoreBeet and Farro Salad with Mint
Whew! A lot of stuff’s happened since I shared these s’mores cookies. Mainly, we moved back to Austin in June to be closer to our families and to Chris’s company headquarters (Yoga with Adriene). In the Age of Covid, it just didn’t make sense to be so far away from our literal priorities. And being…
Read MoreS’mores Cookies
The original concept for these s’mores cookies was something Chef Baby came up with called “vanilla explosion cookies”, which involved lots of vanilla extract plus vanilla chips. But then I told him vanilla chips do not exist (although white chocolate chips are kind of like vanilla chips, but white chocolate chips are terrible in my…
Read MoreLook it’s Tostadas
I made tostadas the other day and felt super-duper accomplished. They’re easy, though. Very simple, really. Just goes to show you what “accomplished” has come to mean around our house, because it damn sure don’t mean getting any kind of work done. But, feeding yourself and your family is work so I pat myself on…
