Sesame Shrimp Sushi Bowls — beautifully assembled bowls featuring umeboshi sushi rice, loads of fresh veggies, grilled sesame shrimp skewers and a miso tahini dressing. An impressive meal for date-night in. Hi guys! Still freezing my buns off in chilly Kremmling, Colorado, but I’ve got a new recipe over on Nosh & Nourish today that I couldn’t wait to tell you about. In our house, anything that’s served as a bowl is met with great acclaim, and these Sesame Shrimp Sushi Bowls are no different. They’re incredibly customizable, super easy to prep ahead and just special enough if you’re looking … Read More
Hawaiian Shrimp Scampi (aka Shrimp Truck Garlic Shrimp)
I have to admit, I’ve kinda been holding onto this recipe for a while. I made it once when my mom was here, shortly after we moved into the new house and she gifted us (as one does) with two huge bags of jumbo shrimp. Then again for my in-laws when we visited them a couple of months later. And again for our good friends when they stayed with us for a weekend this summer. Maybe twice for myself in between. Who’s counting. But here’s the thing. On each of those occasions, Chris was either not home to enjoy the … Read More
Rice Cooker “Tamagoyaki” Totoros
A week that begins with pumpkin and ends with Totoro — must be October! Steph is hosting #totoroweek again this year — IMHO, the internet’s most undercelebrated food-party-slash-hashtag-thing — and in classic me style I’m coming in just under the deadline.

Ok, so not in the “one little Totoro stirs the pot while the other climbs in” sense, though that paints an adorably sick picture, but in the “chuck surprisingly few ingredients in a rice cooker and press the little lever thingy” kind … Read More
Ultimate Fall Chopped Salad with Honeyed Tangerine-Turmeric Vinaigrette
There are no new words to communicate how quickly this holiday season came upon us. There are even fewer words to relay how unprepared I am for the coming days of packing, travel and stretchy pants. And the internet knows far more than me about how to put your best bird forward, so I’ll spare you my attempt. Instead, as has become habit of late, I’ll keep things on the short side (I’m actually working on a new pigtales piece that will exhaust whatever vocabulary I leave on the table in this post) and just drop this most colorful salad into … Read More
Coconut Red Curry Sweet Potato Bisque (Dairy-Free)
Phew. What a weird week, huh? Chances are, if you live in the US, the past couple of days have been a trip. An SNL sketch that has gone on and on, until you’re starting to feel more than just a little uncomfortable for the actors. And I say this not as a woman or a parent or a proponent of preserving love and withholding judgement — though I am all of those things. I say this an American. And I think that, regardless of which way you voted, you probably feel the same. Things got a little circus-y. Or more … Read More
