Let’s face it: If all that’s in your oven is cookies, all you’re gonna eat is cookies. If you have enough patience to be baking up those treats, trust me, you have more than enough time for some good food baking too. Let’s compromise, at least. Stick these in the oven WITH your cookies, and everyone wins. Like […]

[originally published November 2014] So, we’re 1 week out.. And what are you bringing to the table this year? Lots of fall veggies and real food dishes? Check.

In case you didn’t catch it, here’s the link to yesterday’s cooking show on King 5’s New Day Northwest Talk Show. I had myself a little blast. If it’s not obvious. In the segment, I’m show you guy a quick, easy, and super healthy comfort food type meal (under 6 minutes!). It’s the perfect way […]

I have this thing (especially in the fall and winter) where I’m allergic to plates. I mean, everything is just better in a bowl. Salads, where the dressing gets cradled and you don’t have to stab. Soups. Roasted Veggies. Um. Spiralized noodles. Mini Meatballs. Desserts. Snacks. Or, the best possible situation– random combinations of leftover […]

So, I’ve literally made this soup 4 times already. In the 6 days. I’m going to even venture that it might be the best soup I’ve ever made. Let me tell you why, in case you find this happens to you. Symptoms of the best soup ever: You make it the first time for a […]

But, more about that project later. Because if you’re here, I know […]

As we zoom in on the week of cookbook arrival, I’ve gotten a few questions from people on why I chose to do this project, and how exactly it worked to do it in under a year’s time. So, I thought it would be fun to take you all through my process, and share a little […]

I’m not really a takeout kind of girl. The food is overly salty, never has enough veggies and fresh stuff and takes just as long (if not longer) to place the order, drive, pick it up, drive home, get ready to eat, etc. And then, after all of that, it’s cold. And you kind of […]

  Ok, for real. Whether you’ve committed to eating healthier this year or not, you have to make this soup. A creamy, dairy-free cauliflower soup that really means this: veggies on veggies on veggies. Pureed ones mixed into cooked ones for the best stew-like texture. So you’ll feel full and awesome and energized. And yes, I know what […]

Meaning fresh, great […]
