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 […]
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 […]
CAULIFLOWER BOLOGNESE
“I want you to come watch the movie with us ON the couch, not be in the kitchen!” I’ve been filling out this one-question-a-day journals for moms that I received for Christmas. It records a little thought or memory over the last year, and then starts again, so you can see how your answers change […]
MUSHROOM, LEEK + GRUYERE STRATA
While more rich than our everyday fare, this year needs a Christmas breakfast to top all Christmas breakfasts. We will be making the cinnamon rolls from our Sprouted Kitchen Holidays ebook (gifting half because what better door drop is there). We have made cinnamon rolls the tradition, but everyone is ready for something more substantial […]
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. […]
Pasta with Creamy Crushed Walnut Sauce
This is the best thing I’ve cooked with the least amount of effort in the past month. Most of my lazy lunches never make it to the site, but this pasta is an exception. If you have a favorite dried pasta, a few cloves of garlic, walnuts, and black pepper you can make it too. […]
TOMATO SOUP WITH SPICY SAUSAGE AND ORZO
Less of my friends are having babies and needing deliverable meals these days, but there will always be something happening in life when it feels good to give someone a dinner off. I brought this to my sisters’ family last week, after they’ve had to make a sudden move from the Palisades due to the […]
Forged by Nature: How Maine Shapes This Artist’s Pottery
>Listen and subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and all major podcast apps. Kelly McEvers: Hanako Nakazato says, when she was a kid, she didn’t want to work in pottery. Hanako Nakazato: I grew up in Karatsu, which is known for history of pottery. So when I was younger, I wasn’t interested in pottery. It was […]
Vegan Red Pozole (Pozole Rojo / Mexican Hominy Stew)
For many years our “house pozole” was a bright, vegetarian green pozole (pozole verde). It’s a pozole made with serrano and poblano chiles, one that really goes for it on the cilantro and garlic fronts. It was my go-to pozole, I included the recipe in Near & Far and I would make it often in the […]
Discover Arizona’s Majesty
Arizona is wild in its environmental diversity, boasting five of the six distinct types of ecological biomes. Tundra, forest, woodland, scrub, grassland, and desert biomes are spread across the state, with four deserts, over 210 named mountain ranges, a biblical-scale monsoon season—and, of course, the Grand Canyon. The Sonoran Desert, which stretches across much of […]
