Gluten-free, fresh, homemade. Lots of us try to keep healthy by not adding processed sugars and grains to our diets, and sometimes it’s hard – especially when cravings for comfort food come in after a long day at work. When you feel the need for meatloaf but are trying not to fall into the carb […]
I have all these dishes in my head, things from my past, things I’ve dreamt about… But I don’t have recipes for any of them. So, here we are in the learning kitchen, trying to figure it all out. This time, it was the Singaporean noodles I first had at a random Howard Johnson’s in […]
It was finally cool enough last night to run the oven for a while, and I had a bunch of bananas turning dark brown, so… Time for chocolate chip banana bread!! It’s super easy – and such a forgiving recipe, I doubled it in this video: CHOCOLATE CHIP BANANA BREAD Ingredients: 1/3 cup shortening 2/3 […]
An old pal from Boston is in town this weekend, and we met up for lunch at my favorite sushi place in the South Bay: Izaka-ya by Katsu-ya. This tiny space fills up almost as soon as they open their doors, owing to their incredible Early Bird Special, a rotating list of awesome combos that […]

This week, it’s all […]
When I was little, my parents weren’t shy about taking me to restaurants with them. I guess I was mostly a well-behaved kid, preferring to doodle or nap or watch people rather than cause a ruckus. Because of that, I got to experience a wider variety of foods than my peers. While other families spent […]
We still don’t know what we’re doing with this garden, but we’ve kind of had a breakthrough: we went from a few chard leaves to about half a pound of assorted string beans, wax beans, and snap peas, plus an edible flower and some chard. Our tomato and pepper plants are flowering, and our sage […]
