Easy Burrito Bowls, aka, Repurposing leftovers to save my sanity.

I’m starting to see a pattern. Every fall I start to go a little bit crazy. School starts back up, and with school comes homework and trying to figure out how new teachers work and communicate. Piano lessons and dance classes get back under full swing. You find yourself saying yes to being the head […]

I know it’s not Friday, but we’re talking pie today anyways! (I’m impatient, what can I say?!?) Actually, I’m sharing a pie recipe with you today because I filmed it on Studio 5 today, and the episode goes live this morning! This pie was inspired by the Brown Bag Baked Peach Pie that I wrote […]

Happy Monday everyone!! As we transition from summer into fall, this is the perfect time to grab the last bits of summer fruits and vegetables and preserve them for fall and winter.

Today I am teaming up with World Market (I’m a World Market ambassador) and The Chew to celebrate all things Italy because of a Gourmet Getaway Sweepstakes that they just launched! (Details on how to enter are after the recipe.) I am sharing one of my favorite Italian dishes—risi e bisi, Italian style rice and […]

The Kyotofu bakery featured Nicole’s quirky approach to Japanese sweets and customers fell in love. In 2013 Nicole and Michael decided to close the restaurant so Nicole could focus […]

I’ve recently had friends that live in New Mexico, Arizona, and Texas, rubbing in my face the fact that they’ve got Hatch chile roastings all over the place where they live. Not fair! Thankfully I was alerted to the fact that I was not out of luck. Harmons Grocery, a local grocery chain here that […]

Summer seems to be barreling through like a bullet train this year. How is it possible that it is already the middle of August? I’ve been trying to keep cool by not turning on the oven. I find that if I don’t turn on my oven, I’m less likely to have to blast our air […]

The Japanese do incredible things with fruits and vegetables. From braising to deep frying, and drying to pickling, there are hundreds of ways to use and transform a wide variety of plants. A particular favorite at our house are umeboshi, Japanese pickled plums (usually translated as plum, though they are actually made from a species […]
