Presto Pesto on the Cheap
I’ve been loving pesto lately! Fresh basil is one of those really expensive items at the grocery store. Now that we have a porch for the first time in a long time, we picked up 2 basil plants near the end of the season for cheap, and they’ve been growing like wild ever since! This […]
Plantain Tortillas and Some Lovely Topping Options
Plantain tortillas: slightly sweet, wonderfully soft yet stable texture, and incredibly easy to make. Blake whipped these up quickly, and we can’t wait to try them out again with other toppings! They work perfectly as a soft taco shell, but I’m sure we could find many other uses for this mixture, as well. It’s very […]
3 Bean Vegetarian “Burgers”
It’s Blake’s ultimate plan to go completely vegan at some point in the future. Food politics aside–although we both see reason in a variety of aspects of why to not eat animal products in terms of cruelty, sustainability, and so on–it is important for him to watch his animal fat intake due to a history […]

In this post, I’ll teach y’all how to make an easy paleo/primal gluten-free alternative to a personal pan pizza! I’ll also walk you through learning to chiffonade your herbs and tell you how abusing your leafy greens can make them even healthier for you! Ingredients I don’t really list quantities here in any definite sense. […]
Baked Eggs in a Rutabaga and Sauerkraut Nest
These days, I’ve been focusing on my art-making, playing catch-up with various projects, and *gasp* being a “housewife.” The term is repulsive to me. No offense to y’all, but without kids at home, I want a serious full-time, work-my-pants-off job. Even with kids I want that. It’s just my personality. Blake’s gonna be a better […]
Veal Livers with Onions, Beet Sauce, Cranberry Port & Prune Reduction with Horseradish Butter Muffins and Green Beans
This meal was intense! And delicious. I know, I know–we are horrible people for eating the livers of baby cows. At least we’re using the whole animal efficiently! I love to try the livers of animals. My favorite I’ve tried so far is rabbit liver. It was like meat butter. Don’t worry, we don’t eat […]
Culinary Post-Work Delight: Quick Turkey Lime Zucchini Pasta
I had zucchini pasta first at my friend May‘s house a few weeks ago. I’d heard of the idea to intersperse pasta-cut veggies with actual pasta in order to get kids to enjoy their vegetables, but I’d never tried the veggie pasta myself. Having only eaten breakfast, I returned home from teaching Design I in […]
