Cookbook author, podcaster, food blogger, pottery shop, and a gal who loves to eat. My friends call me "The Kitchen Goddess" and what could be better than that?
I love cooking for my family and friends, and filling my life with food-related adventures, including cooking, writing, researching, appreciating, photographing and talking about food. I love to create alchemy and inspire others to do it too: the devotion and intention in the cooking infuses friends and family with love on holidays and every day. Alchemy happens when food is served with love—it is magically transformed. Food + Love = Healing.
Jar-cuterie. This is perfect for anything, from bringing it to a party, to an easy weeknight dinner.

By the way, this is great with or without lettuce. You can make this with anything that you love to put in your charcuterie. Mine includes salami, gouda, California Ripe Olives, and I loved my twist with a sumac garlic vinaigrette! It’s a perfect do ahead snack. Let’s go!

Apple sandwich! This was totally delicious and so much fun to put together. It's pretty fun for back to school. My mom always packed me alternative sandwiches like red pepper sandwiches♥️♥️

I have nothing against bread, but I don't like to eat the same thing every day. Here’s how I made it, but use anything you have on hand:
RECIPE:
1 apple
2 slices of my Everyday Roasted Chicken (comment “recipe” for my chicken recipe!)
1 slice cheddar cheese
1 handful arugula
1 fork full Marinated Red Onions
1 spoonful Creamy Chive Dressing
Simply slice two slices off of one side of your apple (the flat side will be the bottom) and assemble!

This is my happy place: . I mean it when I say that all year round, I wait for this moment. If I’m ever feeling down, I tell myself that I am going to be in at Sostanza in September, it’s my happy place. The butter chicken is so unbelievably delicious, as is their delicate artichoke omelette. The meringue cake with berries desserts is heaven to me. Both the service and food are amazing.
If you’ve ever wanted to make your own pickles but thought it sounded way too complicated, start her.

These refrigerator pickles are ready the next day, and are SO crisp and flavorful. Fresh dill, garlic, and a simple brine made with ® — that’s it!

My Passport Chicken is always a big hit.

I’m a gal who loves to marinate, and this is a super simple recipe with ingredients you will already have in your kitchen. I like to marinate with items that naturally bring out the goodness and are also good for you. I marinate a day ahead to infuse the chicken with flavor. You can cut the chicken breast horizontally for crispy bites, or you can cut it into three pieces and pound. Who loves a quick and easy dinner?

Wedge Salad is one of my absolute favorites.
Comment “recipe” and I’ll DM you the recipe.
It always starts with iceberg lettuce, pieces of oven bacon, and jammy eggs. Be sure to wash your lettuce to crisp it up. It’s a perfect party dish. My family devours it. You can substitute in Everyday Roast Chicken Breast or skirt steak for the bacon. My Creamy Olive California Ripe Olives Dressing is so wonderful here. What do you put on your wedge salad?
