Lemon, Rosemary Oatmeal with Goji Berries
When I was a kid we had oatmeal that came in small brown bags. You added hot water, stirred & then tried to only eat spoonfuls that had dehydrated bits of apple or clumps of brown sugar. Then I turned 16 and spent the summer interning at the Royal Melbourne Zoo in Australia. My six […]
Mushrooms & Leeks in Sherry Sage Butter
Some foods feel sexier than others. My mushrooms & leeks in sherry sage butter is a decadent, velvety, sexy appetizer. The leeks & mushrooms have a rich, caramel-ly flavor & go perfectly with a soft, spreading cheese on bread. Something earthy & delightful happens when you add the extra butter & the sherry at the […]

Tzatziki & Radish Toast
In a breakfast rut? There are days on end when I wake up & want the same thing each morning – big mug of strong coffee with a bit of whole milk, (actually with orange peel if I remember to add it) & then a super big mug of Bragg Apple Cider Hot Tonic. My […]
