Side Dishes & Vegetables

Being from the midwest, green bean casserole was always a very big part of our Thanksgiving spread. Right up there with my grandma’s famous layered raspberry jello whipped cream dessert 😉 Okay, so the times have changed and what fills our plates on Thanksgiving has changed with it, but there are some dishes that I refuse…

YOU. GUYS. Easy dairy free cauliflower mac and cheese is in the HOUSE and it has got me all 😭 over here cuz I’m so excited to share it with you. Because a good recipe for mac and cheese is never something you should keep to yourself. I mean, you can MAKE mac and cheese and…

We’re lucky enough to have had a little mix of both fall weather and sunny days here in Seattle. We’ve had some rain (thank god!) but the temperatures have…

who’s ready to savor these last weeks of summer like the boss’s that we are? say yes and I promise to make you all the watermelon and arugula salad with mint red onion 😉 because everybody’s summer deserves this salad. in reality I’m actually kind of freaking out over here about ALL THE watermelon AND tomatoes AND salad greens…

when the days are short & cold as they are this time of year I often find myself looking for any (even slightly) justifiable reason to sneak into the kitchen and turn on the oven. this time that reason was three pretty delicata squash and a bunch of fresh herbs that needed to be used before they…

  well here we are at monday, looking back on some very real tragedy from the week passed. if ever there were circumstances to challenge the depth of the warmth and gratitude that we created over the holiday then this was it. it’s almost impossible to know what to say or do during a time like this. heartbreak…
