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…
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 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…
Parmesan and Tomato Flatbread
It’s that time of year again, tomato season!!! The farmer’s market was absolutely full with tomatoes when I went on Monday. So obviously I bought as much as I could carry and have been making tons of veggie based recipes all week, much to Tai’s dismay (he is a fully fledged meat eating man,…
Layered Ratatouille
Bounjour mes amis! Aujourd’hui je vous présente le meilleur ratatouille! Or in english, today I’m sharing with you THE BEST ratatouille. Yes it’s the name of the Pixar movie and no, there was no actual rat involved with the making of this dish. Ratatouille is one of my favorite movies. Who doesn’t like…
Zucchini Ribbons with Basil Pesto
Summer is amazing right? Everything just feels so vibrant and full of life. I love going to the farmer’s market during the summer because it is just so full and exciting. Each stall is packed with fresh fruits and veggies, it’s hard to not be impressed. I decided to make a dish from items found…
