I am always looking at those beautiful spring rolls with the bright pink shrimp glistening through the rice paper. They always look so elegant, reposed, and so above and beyond what I’m capable of making! After all, I do like a good plating and have […]
In the very last throes of summer produce, I have a couple of Thai chilis. So, what better way to use them than for spring rolls with a spicy peanut sauce? Now, Thai chilis might not be in the more classic of peanut sauces. But […]
I have been craving peanut butter lately. I can’t exactly explain it. Maybe it’s the crummy weather and needing a comfort food. Maybe it’s the rapid 30 degree shifts in temperature overnight. Or maybe it’s just stress eating! Because life also happens. But all that […]

This is a surprisingly classic burrito for me. I’m quite often throwing everything plus the kitchen sink into a burrito. But squash, rice, avocados, and enchilada sauce? That is pretty tame for me! It might be Calabaza Squash Infused Rice w/ Homegrown Anaheim Peppers, Avocado […]
