Spring Things Salad with Pickled Kumquats + Whipped Brie recipe (via thepigandquill.com) #vegetarian #glutenfree #lunch

Greetings from the household of a 3-year-old. She kicked off her fourth trip around the sun in April (it’s been a while since we’ve chatted, I know…), and it’s as if a switch was flipped with the whispered whoosh of those extinguished candles. We’re potty trained. We’re putting our clothes on by ourselves. We’re sleeping with a pillow and a blanket. We’re still doing this thing where she is we. I’ll outgrow it before it becomes obnoxious. And it’s not as if I was expecting the worst of age three, but all things considered, she’s been a delight. The first few … Read More

Steam-Grilled Baby Bok Choy with Sesame Soy Vinaigrette (vegan & gf)

I have a ritual when Chris goes out of town. It’s called Eating a Lot of Asian Veggies. Do I need to explain? Chris is probably the world’s best sport when it comes to eating veggies.

So along with my usual haul of Greek yogurt, bananas and Dave’s Killer Bread (side note: have you guys heard he’s off the wagon?

Troof be told, to-date my only experience with miso at home has been with those guilty little packets of instant miso … Read More

Baked Tofu Banh Mi Salad

Hey ya’ll. You’re not gonna believe this, but we’re back! Wedding month concluded yesterday with a super cute, DIY ceremony and reception that Pinterest only wished it had witnessed in the flesh. Of course I left my phone at home, so I can’t share a lick of it with you right yet, but if I can get my hand on some snaparoos, I’ll be sure to share. Suuuuuur cuuuuuurte. And now we can get on with a fall that’s nearly as full of festivities. Almost. Except guessat. I’m not ready for fall. So instead let’s keep eating salad like it’s … Read More
