A food-loving girl raised on pasta and tamales
What are your plans for Memorial weekend? The official kick-off to summer is just around the corner. I’m so excited to spend more time on patios, fire up the grill, eat all the summer produce- I’m so ready for watermelon and sweet corn- and of course, drink some fruit-forward cocktails! This month’s theme with Recipe…
My obsession with chai started young. I distinctly remember getting home from middle school and having a large glass of chai, the cold mix that comes in a box and that you add milk to, before going to swim practice. I have always loved the combination of spices in a creamy drink or treat. Eventually,…
When I found out that Recipe Redux members would be teaming up with Sabra for National Hummus day on May 13, I immediately knew what I wanted to make. Hummus and salad bowls! I received free samples of Sabra Hummus mentioned in this post. By posting this recipe I am entering a recipe contest sponsored…
Its not even summer yet and I’m already wanting quick and easy dinners with minimal cooking, aka minimal stove and oven. This salad came about from just that need. We wanted a quick and easy dinner on a Friday night with minimal cooking and using mostly pantry staples. If you cook the quinoa in advance…
Making and rolling out fresh pasta dough is one of my all-time favorite things to do. If you’ve never made it yourself, it’s really quite simple in concept, it just takes a bit of practice to get it down. My family gets out the pasta roller at least once a year to make ravioli for…
Have you gotten behind the golden milk trend yet? I must say that I’ve been into it for a few months now. Other than the health benefits of turmeric and ginger, I love that a golden milk latte is cozy and creamy without the caffeine of a typical latte or the sugar of hot chocolate.…
Happy Earth day! Did you know that Earth day this year is Saturday, April 22? I’ve seen a few events around town to celebrate and the national March for Science was also planned on Earth day, which I think is pretty great. It’s an interesting day in the sense that every day should be earth…
One of my greatest passions when it comes to food and cooking is the incorporation of local ingredients. I find myself so inspired by local produce, trips to the farmer’s market, my neighborhood spice shop, and trying out new local products. A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of meeting Santhoshi, a local cook,…
When I get on a kick with a certain food or snack I really get into it. This winter my favorite thing to eat has been roasted broccoli dipped in chili garlic mayo (I liked this brand). It wasn’t until a few months ago that I started roasting broccoli, mostly for buddha bowls, and it…
Spring is my favorite time of year to visit the farmer’s market. There is so much excitement at this time of year when the farmer’s market is finally back in full swing after a slower winter season. I love the bright and fresh produce that fills the stands and feel incredibly inspired to eat lighter…
