One month since we left Brooklyn, three full weeks in California have now come and gone and life is starting to fall into a routine. Our boxes are unpacked, furniture built and the obligatory stressful trip to Ikea has been made twice. For both Tai and myself, we are almost at a moment where we…
Honey Brined BBQ Shrimp
Of all of the flavors in the world, honey is one of my all time favorites. Its sweetness, its rich fullness and the fact that it will never spoil even after being left in a cabinet for ages all make for a reliable seasoning. Today I’m posting a recipe for Honey Brined BBQ Shrimp that will…
Honey Sriracha Roasted Brussels Sprouts
I had another one of those days where I went out to eat and ordered something that afterwards I thought “wow I could totally make this too and rock it!” Tai and I meet up on Mondays for lunch in the city and we usually try to grab something easy and eat in the…
Pear and Camembert Crostini

Spicy Glazed Carrots
Once again I found myself at the Union Square Greenmarket and stumbled upon these gorgeous heirloom carrots from one of my favorite vendors. When i bought them, I had no idea how I should prepare them, so when I got home I experimented with a few different seasonings and flavors. And omg, it was a…
