OK, I have to admit that it’s been two months since I made this cabbage but looking at these pictures makes me realize I have to make it again immediately. I feel like it’s always that way with cabbage – I totally forget about it as a meal option until something like St. Patrick’s Day…
Roasted Pepper and Feta Filo Pie
I’m in Porto for work again this week and have been treated to some exceptionally excellent November weather. This is my first time spending a weekend here and, while I miss Brad madly, it’s been nice having a chance to see more of the city than my hotel room and office. Yesterday I went with…
Moroccan Carrot Salad with Spicy Lemon Dressing
Every year we make a point to see every Shakespeare in the Park performance in Griffith Park. Our local Independent Shakespeare Company does some of the most creative and entertaining stagings of classics I’ve ever seen. We’ve been going for about 5 years now and their shows are always among the highlights of our summer….
Baked Sweet Potato Fries that are Actually Crispy – and Gluten Free!
We had gluten-free guests over for lunch and I knew I wanted to make our favorite salmon crab burgers (these pictures desperately need to be updated – I promise they’re more delicious than they look). Baked sweet potato fries are my favorite thing to serve on the side of these heavenly burgers, but the only…
Heirloom Tomato, Melon, and Burrata Salad
This is the first Summer in years we haven’t bought season tickets to the Hollywood Bowl. Between my work schedule and saving for a new property it seemed like the smart move and so far I haven’t missed it. We’re still planning to catch a few shows but don’t have every weekend planned. The Hollywood…
Neto’s Perfect Michelada
Micheladas are my Green Eggs and Ham. For years I insisted they must be gross and wondered loudly and snobbily why anyone would adulterate delicious beer with Clamato. Luckily, our friend Neto came by one day with all the fixings and crafted one of these delicious drinks in our kitchen. One sip was all it…
Super Skinny Creamy Spinach Pasta Primavera
Does a giant bowl of creamy noodles packed with Spring vegetables for under 150 calories sound too good to be true? Creamy AND vegan? Noodles AND gluten-free? Brad didn’t believe me either until I used this recipe to try out Miracle Noodle’s new spinach shirataki noodles. Granted, this is a very different dish that your…
Vegan Spanish Chickpeas with Chorizo
I spent last week in London and Porto for work. It was a crazy hectic few days trying to accomplish everything that needed to be done and, while it was beautiful and wonderfully productive, I ended up averaging just 4-5 hours of sleep a night (not much by my lazy standards) and was pretty worn…
The Best Mulligatawney Soup
I’m sorry it’s been so long, guys! My new gig promises to be crazy fun but is mostly just crazy crazy right now. Let me make it up to you with this recipe for what I can confidently say is the best Mulligatawney soup since Seinfeld. Since there’s no definitive recipe or even flavor composition…
Superfood Muffins with Mulberries and Flaxseed
So I’m not a baker. I’m not very good at it and I don’t really enjoy it. It’s a little strange because I consider myself a pretty darn good cook but all the rule following and precision required for baking just doesn’t align with my strengths. I love being able to improvise over the stove…
