California Avocado Spring Roll Noodle Salad

This week I’m sharing a deconstructed version of Vietnamese fresh spring rolls with peanut dipping sauce, one of my favorite meals on the entire planet, over on The Scoop. This is a California Avocado Spring Roll Noodle Salad. It happens to be gluten-free (just make sure the miso paste and chili sauce you use are […]

We are currently in the middle of a crazy wind and dust storm here in Utah. I’ve watched a trampoline, sandwich board sign, and a trashcan fly by so far. So while we hunker down and hope we still have a roof tomorrow morning, I’m going to share a new recipe with you! I have […]

This post is brought to you by the California Avocado Commission.

With Memorial Day right around the corner, I’ve been planning what will be on the menu. This Cotija Chipotle Corn Guacamole, inspired by Mexican elote, is a must make! One of my favorite treats is elote, a popular Mexican dish of freshly roasted corn that is spread with mayonnaise, rolled in crumbled cotija cheese, then dusted […]

Miss Piggy once said, “After all the trouble you go to, you get about as much actual “food” out of eating an artichoke as you would from licking 30 or 40 postage stamps.” Growing up I always looked forward to the days when my mom came home from the store with a bag of artichokes. […]

With Mother’s Day quickly approaching, I wanted to share a savory yogurt parfait that is so simple that even your kids could whip it up. (Just think breakfast in bed for mom!) The parfait will leave you feeling refreshed and ready to face the day.

The inside of my refrigerator is starting to look like one big lab experiment. I seem to have developed an obsession with putting things in jars. There’s a batch of Mark Bittman’s easy kimchi, several jars of Three Pepper Jelly, some sliced variegated pink lemons marinating in honey, several different types of tsukemono (Japanese pickles) […]
