I’m oftentimes overcome by the kindness I’ve received by some of the people I’ve worked for. The liquid way these relationships are able to transcend the boundaries of simply the employee and the employer, is a wonderful thing. It’s so nice when people hold a value to your life, even the parts they don’t see. […]

I’ve always wanted to make a wrap using a collard green leaf. It has seemed like such a great idea, to use the leaf in place of a tortilla. I’ve used cabbage leaves for raw tacos, and lettuce leaves for small boats of food, but I had yet to use a collard leaf to make […]

This is my very first Gazpacho. I think it was quite a success: refreshing, hearty, spicy, and sweet! I’ve had the dish once before, at a party in my middle school Spanish class. I thought the idea of spooning cold chunky tomato-ish soup into my mouth was disgusting. But, today I’m happy to report that […]

It starts with the ingredient and builds from there as it usually does. Look in the fridge and take what’s there, what needs to be used, or better yet, what was most inspiring to you at the Farmer’s Market, and then create a dish, or a menu, from that. That’s how I usually go about […]

So it seems I’ve been on this slushy ice tip lately. I think it’s the heat. With the first week of summer on the calendar here, the first week of summer in the air has come too. It has been hot! Like, sweating when you’re just sitting outside kind of hot, sleeping without covers hot, […]

This is amazing. I love snow-cones. I’ve been wanting to make some with natural syrups and unique flavors, and I still have that idea in my back pocket for later use. I also always imagined cubing watermelon and freezing them for instant popsicle bites. Something finally propelled me into the kitchen, which combines these two […]

I have been interested in raw foods for awhile. And, when I got my first dehydrator for my birthday this year I felt like raw food would become an official stamp on my diet. I believe whole-heartedly in the enzymes and the nourishment that come from sprouting, and lightly dehydrating raw organic foods. And, attempting […]

I get in the mood for scones every once in awhile. It was an occasional breakfast treat, on various weekends when my mom was feeling ambitious, I guess. That buttery aroma would lead my nostrils from under the covers to the kitchen, where I would anxiously await their time in the oven to end. She’d […]

I just blended this up, and it’s inspiring! It’s a bit sour, because of the raspberries. Yet, that tartness and the pink sits atop the base of authentic pineapple and coconut pleasantly. As the summer gets nearer, this smoothie would be a wonderful addition to any sunny day. I made mine virgin since it’s noon […]
