The parts of living in California that I have fallen in love with are both the food and the wine. The food because it’s so fresh and abundant and the wine, because…well it’s wine country after all. I was excited to work with Grocery Outlet for finding the perfect food to pair with some…
Spicy Roasted Garlic Cauliflower
This post is sponsored by Frontier Co-op. All words and opinions are my own 🙂 Since moving to California I’ve realised one big difference. The quality of the fruit and vegetables here is much higher than the east coast. Maybe it’s the soil, maybe it’s the climate, but either way I find myself gravitating…
BBQ Oven Roasted Cabbage
There are on many occasions where friends and family have a barbecue or cookout and forget to have a vegetarian option. Potato salad is delicious, but can’t count as a meal (it’s too much mayo anyways). I recently saw a video on Bon Appetit for a BBQ beer can cabbage and thought both how ridiculous…
Garlic Rosemary Baked Artichokes
Growing up as a picky eater, I didn’t eat a lot of vegetables. But there was always one exception: Artichokes. I know this sounds weird, but I loved eating them as a kid. Dipping them into butter was probably the main reason. Now that I’ve begun experimenting in the kitchen, I’ve found that I really…
Rosemary Brown Butter Shallots
There are few vegetables that I truly look forward to eating. Yup, pretty weird to hear that from a food blogger. But I grew up as a picky eater and am only now slowly dipping my toes into the world of vegetables and odd foods. I have a rule that wherever I travel, I eat…
Honey Balsamic Roasted Brussels Sprouts
It’s that time of year again where we finally get through the holidays and after eating every sugar cookie in sight are ready to fit back in our jeans. Don’t get me wrong, yoga pants are extremely comfortable but the do nothing to curb my expanding waistline. At least the jeans offer some resistance….
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…
Honey Lime Cauliflower
I visited my parents recently and they gave me some honey a friend had given them. I’m not an expert on honey, far from it, but let me tell you that this is the most fragrant and fruity flavored honey that I’ve ever tasted. It’s hard to believe this was harvested not far from…
Heirloom Tomato and Veggie Pie
I dared to try something that I haven’t ever tried before, a savory pie. Now bear with me here. It’s really, really good. So don’t be freaked out by the term “Savory Pie” because while different than its dessert based cousin, it is just as fulfilling. I made a Heirloom Tomato and Veggie Pie because…
Three Cheese Summer Squash Tian
Recently one of my coworkers told me of this great French dish that was new and amazing. It was a great way to cook summer vegetables he said. It ended up he was talking about a tian, which although nothing new, is something that I had stumbled upon recently and had peaked my interest….
