Grilled Poblano Corn Bowls w/ Cilantro Lime Sauce
There is a funny meme going around right now about ‘checking in on your LA friends’ due to the excessive heat we are experiencing. I, for one, am loving it! The sticky heat of summer reminds me of Hawaii and I am here for it. Koa went from sleeping in a sleep sack at night…

Vegetable Shakshuka
For any of you who have been on my “no eggs” journey, I can happily report that I am back on my egg grind! It only took weeks of hospital tests, scans, and frustrating video calls to discover my lingering health issues were not related to eggs at all. We honestly don’t know what caused…

Summer Squash Marinara Bake
I noticed that I’ve written a lot about keeping summer vibes high this year. I think it’s because I have been on what may be my last maternity leave and while we haven’t done a ton of travel, I am trying to make it feel as special as possible. The solution has been to lean…

Poblano Turkey Skillet
It’s summertime, which means poblanos are in season! And as always, I throw a few in my grocery basket each week even if I don’t have a recipe in mind for them. I like to stuff them with ground meat, chop them up for hash, or in this case, dice them for a delicious summer…

I love not having to reinvent the wheel when grilling. Just last weekend I tried Rachael Good Eats’ lemon pesto and immediately had friends…

Crockpot Short Rib Hash
Post-partum can really do wild things to your body. While life is much more restrictive when pregnant, you are building life. It’s wonderful and inspiring and you literally glow. Post-partum is the ugly step-sister. You’re tired and have extra weight still on, and for many, are still surrendering your body to your newborn child if…

Crispy Baked Brussel Sprouts
Well I can report that a 5 ½ hour road trip with two kids under 18 months is do-able! And an act of pure willpower. Nick and I ventured up the coast this weekend to celebrate a family engagement – an event we knew we didn’t want to miss – so we packed up the…

TJ’s Vegan Dill Potato Gratin
In honor of my in-laws coming down for a weekend of LA adventures, walks, delicious meals, and of course, the list of honey-do’s we’ve been building up around the house for the last few weeks, I am sharing a recipe I like to make for the effortless backyard BBQ dinners for a group. As the…

Philly Cheesesteak Stuffed Sweet Potatoes
Please forgive me for these photos. I am still working on making my dishes look aesthetically pleasing. A difficult task if you are not cooking meals in the middle of the day with time to let it cool completely and ‘artfully curate’ the plate. I am not a food stylist. I am a mother of…
