Shaved Brussel Sprout Salad with White Miso Vinaigrette and Soy Sauce Eggs — A hearty, satisfying salad full of crunchy texture and loads of flavor thanks to a tangy-sweet dressing and a topping of deeply savory soy sauce marinated eggs. Yep, the always conspicuous…and News! so we’ll get to that first. Today, I’m completely humbled to announce something that’s been in the works for a while over here. Something that’s been both a labor of love and a rite of passage, of sorts, as we continue to settle into this Coastside community that’s so quickly become the warm, fuzzy hometown … Read More

Purging shit not only out of my house — but into my belly!? I can think of few things more satisfying. At first glance, this salad doesn’t necessarily scream PANTRY, I know. It’s fresh, light, green.

Bathed in the buttery glow of early morning, the rooms are all the same: there’s salt in the pig, dust on the turntable. The down pillows on the sofa are dented just so (hi-YAH!) — and yet you turn down the hallway with fresh eyes, taking it all in the way you would when the light blinks green and the door swings open to a freshly turned hotel suite. It’s refreshing and disorienting and quietly intoxicating all … Read More

Remember that time it was 1:30 in the morning and your #SoLetsPigOut Day 3 joint post with Gina was supposed to go live in 6 hours? But then you spent a good 40 minutes googling The Bachelorette spoilers? And eating too many handfuls of Chicago mix popcorn? But really you just picked out all the caramel ones? Hello. Welcome to my now. We should totally be talking about salad. When Gina and I were brainstorming the menu for #SoLetsPigOut, she was stuck in the midst of some Whole 30 BS and I was in the process of shoving circus animal cookies in … Read More
