I spent all weekend cooking, and it was glorious. This salad was the freshest, simplest thing I made—it is wintry crisp and showcases persimmons, which are in my opinion one of the highlight produce items of late fall and early winter. Other things on the weekend’s cooking agenda: black sesame-pear-miso bread (an experiment and a … Continue reading Persimmon, Avocado, Pomegranate, & Pistachio Salad
How was your Thanksgiving weekend? We had a great time in Pennsylvania, though we skipped the Turkey Trot since with the wind chill, it was 3 degrees! On Thanksgiving, just after we finished baking the pumpkin pies, the oven started to malfunction, and could only make it to about 250°F for the rest of the … Continue reading Coconut-Turmeric Granola

I’m not sure what to say about any of it right now, but for the time being I can share this recipe with you. It’s very tart and surprising in a … Continue reading Pomegranate-Glazed Beets with Pistachios
This banana bread appears in my kitchen about once a week. It slowly disappears, as we eat it for breakfast, snacks, dessert—really at any time of day—and is quickly replaced by a new loaf almost as soon as the old one is finished. Continue reading Chocolate Chip Banana Bread (gluten free)
If you read my Friday Favorites post, you’ll know I was sick this weekend and feeling very sorry for myself. I made the most of the situation, though, since staying home to rest meant lots of time to cook! These crispy kale chips are very easy to make, and they’re a great snack item to … Continue reading Crispy Kale Chips
