12 Years of : Work, Gratitude, and the Challenge of the Present Moment
I’m late to my own party, but April 1, 2020 marked twelve years since I quit my job as a lawyer to travel the world. By now you guys know the drill: each year I wrote an annual update post for April 1st, about my state of mind and the state of my business. I’d […]
GREEK QUINOA SALAD
Phew. I used to use this space as a public journal, like old school blogger days plus a recipe, but I still don’t have words yet. That is ok. Most mornings I wake up in the morning, Hugh brings me coffee so I can check my emails and read the news, which as of late, […]
SMASHED POTATOES
There is more to say on this subject, and this will be clunky and too much and not enough but I need to start somewhere, even just for me. I started this blog over 11 years ago as of writing this post, and if I look at my past writing, both the personal parts and […]
YOSEMITE + AUTOCAMP VISIT
We planned this trip pre-pandemic. It got rescheduled three times and by the time we were actually going, I didn’t think the four of us needed any more time with each other. The kids had been extra bickery and Cleo had been a bit of a loose cannon and Hugh and I, who run a […]
FOOD FOR NEW PARENTS : CRUNCHY LUNCHY LENTILS
For my sister (and maybe my 6-years-ago self, too…) I know you guys are so ready for this. You’ve been ready, the road to get here has been a little twisty and I CANNOT wait to be moms together. Just giddy about it. Let’s start there. We were a few days home from the hospital […]
TAHINI GLAZED CAULIFLOWER
We’re obsessed with this cauliflower. I’ve made it three times in the last week for different people and it reports back as the favorite dish. Every brand of tahini varies in texture. I find the 365 Whole Foods brand to work well here because it’s naturally quite runny. If you need a visual, albeit on […]
A Patreon, a New Newsletter, and a Site Redesign
It’s been a long while since I’ve written on . When people ask how I’m doing, I’ve taken to saying, “I’m hanging in as best as I can.” What else can we all do? These are pretty unusual, extreme times, and honestly I’m just impressed with anyone who makes it through each day without cracking […]
3 Years Later, A Surprising Reunion with Something Important
A few weeks into December, I received a message in my “requests” folder on Facebook. I didn’t know it at the time, since it was buried in Facebook purgatory. It was only a month later that I thought to check my requests inbox. I found the following message. Hi, you don’t know me, but we […]
VEGGIE CHILI
The internet is a hottttt place right now, so I’ll just pretend we’re catching up on the porch, sharing a glass of wine and updating you on the bits and bobs of our little life. Like a Christmas letter in October?Curran is back at school and albeit strange and distanced, he’s so happy. He loves […]
SWEET POTATO CINNAMON ROLLS
We made another ebook! Sprouted Kitchen Holidays is a collection of a handful of my favorite recipes from SK Cooking Club, plus a few more, and we made a beautiful online resource for your seasonal table. There are 25 recipes that feel good for celebrating, regardless that this year will be different than any other. […]
