this is a super simple recipe that comes together in just a few minutes if the quinoa is already cooked! and if not - then about 30. easy peasy, y'all! i won't lie - this is somehow a lot tastier than it sounds. one might say, i inhaled it. i originally wanted to add a … Continue reading black quinoa with garlicky spinach and a fried egg
i often forget what a simple, sustainable delight it is to caramelize onions. i've recently turned to red onions for caramelizing as opposed to yellow or white, because that's amy chaplin's go-to move! and i'm assuming it is because red onions have a higher amount of antioxidant compounds than yellow or white onions. and they're … Continue reading caramelizing onions

When I headed to the farmer's … Continue reading Persimmon and pomegranate seed salad with walnuts and radicchio
