It's smoothie weather! I've mentioned on the blog before that I don't do smoothies when the weather is cool or cold. And in general, I actually try not to eat too many smoothies on an empty stomach. An acupuncturist told me decades ago not to consume ice cold beverages with meals as they squelch ...
Dinner Planner – Week of June 18, 2018
I know many of you started your summer last week or even several weeks ago, but my youngest was still in school up until this past Wednesday. So we are just easing into summer right now and it feels GOOD! I have all the kids home for the next week and then they go in different directions at ...
Wild Salmon Burgers Recipe
The past two nights I set 5 places at the dinner table and I could not have been more grateful or HAPPY. All three of my kids are home, and although it will be a short time that we're all together, I'll take what I can get! I am going to pull back a little from social media and lengthy blogposts ...
Dinner Planner – Week of June 11th 2018
This was a busy week! I started my new breakfast menu this week and it is crazy good! Having the best time teaching it. If you subscribe to my monthly classes, the breakfast menu will be released towards the middle of July. I just filmed the next class which will be released in a week or so. If ...
Pea Pesto and Burrata Crostini Recipe
It's practically summertime and my cooking/entertaining strategy has already shifted. I'm making mental notes of easy-breezy recipes with lots of color and freshness. Even though I feel comfortable cooking any recipe in any cookbook, I don't feel as though I have to prove anything to my family and ...

Turmeric Rice Bowls Recipe
I am so excited to share a recipe on the site with tempeh, a fermented soy product that I really like and one that I have been using much more since Mr. Pamela Salzman (LOL) became WFPB (aka whole food plant-based.) Tempeh may not be as mainstream as tofu, but I think it's actually more nutritious ...
Dinner Planner – Week of May 28th 2018
Memorial Day weekend is not just a 3-day weekend, but a time to be grateful for the ultimate sacrifice our military made for us so that we can enjoy the freedoms we do and that we often take for granted. I appreciate the choices I am permitted to make this weekend - I am going to try to not work ...
Sparkling Blackberry Shrub Recipe
I love trying new eats and drinks and learning about different kinds of foods and flavor combinations. It is one of my favorite things in life! A few years ago, I was curious about a drink on the menu at Gjelina Restaurant in Venice, California which was described as a fruit-based drinking ...
Dinner Planner – Week of May 21st 2018
I am in Dallas as you read this, so forgive me if I'm not quite as present on Instagram as usual. It's not every day that my daughter graduates from college! My husband and I are beaming with pride as we celebrate her and her achievement with our extended family. I'll be back soon, but I haven't ...
Roasted Cherry Tomato and Feta Salad Recipe
I have had the pleasure of reading and cooking from several books recently that have been written by friends. The latest is "I Love California" by California native and celebrity interior designer, Nathan Turner. Nathan is the sweetest guy and uber talented. I met him at Jenni Kayne's house many ...
