Autumn Sweet Potato & Carrot Crisp (gluten-free, dairy-free)
I feel like Autumn came on really quickly. Really. Quickly. One day I was sweating on a sunny hike and the next I was back into the hot-tea-all-day and big socks routine. The seasonal change has me craving more substantial foods like roots and tubers—creamy soups, and sweeter treats, which I think is the body’s way […]
Roasted Garlic Basil Pesto Potatoes with Arugula from “Oh She Glows Everyday” + A Giveaway
I finally had to face the music and come home after a one-week-turned-two-week trip to the beach recently, but right after I pulled up to the house, and shuffled inside (still barefoot) I was so very happy to find Angela Liddon’s gorgeous second book waiting for me! I immediately put my legs up and started flipping through drool-worthy photo […]
Garlic-Roasted Radishes with Meyer Lemon
When I buy a bunch of radishes, I use a few to garnish tacos, to brighten salads and make some kimchi, but there are usually a handful left that I don’t get to in time. While I always tend to eat them raw, I thought I’d give them a try roasted. Wow. What a happy surprise—the flavor is delicious and […]

Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free Pan-Fried Green Tomatoes with “Buttermilk” Dipping Sauce
When you hear “Fried Green Tomatoes” you probably think of the 1991 movie by the same name, and/or Southern cooking. If you look into the history of Fried Green Tomatoes however, you’ll find that most recipes from the 1900s–1960s were found in the North or Midwest, with many southerners claiming that growing up, they didn’t even know about Fried […]
Rustic Blue Corn & Green Tomato Skillet Bread
The sense of community and generosity in my sweet little town just can’t be beat. Every summer, my gardening pals and neighbors drop off bumper crop goodies like melon, peppers, onions, herbs, beans and of course, tomatoes.
