I think this soup must have humble origins because it cost like $4 to put together! Aside from Top Ramen, it’s also one of the quickest soups I’ve ever made – a great weeknight meal!
4 cups of chicken broth
2 eggs
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan-Reggiano
1 cup of spinach, roughly copped
pinch of nutmeg
salt and pepper
Heat broth in a [...]

In my last CSA box, I got my first butternut squash of the season. I’m going to be honest…I was not happy. Any San Franciscan will tell you that we got robbed of a summer this year and receiving an autumnal squash was the sure sign of it ending. But, this story ends happily because [...]

It started pouring in San Francisco on Monday, marking (what I thought was) the end of our very short Indian summer. Instead of heading to the gym, I hunkered down at home and pulled on a pair of very elastic pants so that I could enjoy one of my favorite comfort treats – homemade chocolate [...]

I know, I know, cabbage and sublime in the same sentence sounds crazy right?? But this combo of cabbage and lime-y, thai-inspired dressing is just that. I came across yet another awesome recipe on TheKitchn this week called Grilled Cabbage Wedges with Spicy Lime Dressing and tested it out alongside chicken enchiladas for dinner. All [...]

Sunday evenings send me scrabbling to find something easy to whip up for the next week’s worth of lunches. This quinoa salad has become a standby because you can basically add in whatever vegetables you have in your fridge and it is hearty enough to not send you running for the vending machine by 2pm [...]

When I’m burnt out on all the summer pastas I keep tossing together, I try to mix it up with a farmer’s market salad. I truly mean a farmer’s market salad because every ingredient is straight from my Sunday pickin’s at the Marina Farmer’s Market.
This one includes unbelieveably sweet early girl tomatoes, fresh zipped corn, mixed [...]

My new go-to meal this summer includes some kind of conglomeration of summer veggies and fresh pasta, all procured from the farmer’s market blocks from my apartment. The one photographed above happens to be my favorite combination – corn, shaved zucchini and yellow squash. Oh, and chunks of mozzarella. So simple and so delicious.

A few weeks ago, I came across a dish on The Kitchn called Summer Squash with Baked Eggs. A mouth-watering photo accompanied it (see above, looks pretty good right?) so I “pinned” the recipe on my current obsession Pinterest under Yummy Dinner Ideas. Then this weekend, I spotted eight ball yellow squash at the farmer’s [...]

Doesn’t this look pretty? I wasn’t even planning to blog about this side dish, but then I saw how elegant the rosemary looked draped across these taters and I had to grab my camera!
I get little baby potatoes sporadically in my CSA box, including these baby red potatoes. I just sliced them, tossed them with [...]
