  • Brown Sugar & Spice Roasted Sweet Potatoes

    Quickie post with my sweet potato recipe from my friends Thanksgiving.  Simple and yummy! I really wanted to make sage-spiced sweet potato rounds, but couldn’t find ground sage! So frustrating.  So at the last minute, I just threw a few things in a bowl and tossed the potatoes up.  Turned out wonderful. 

  • Savory Roasted Pumpkin Seeds

    I posted a recap of my trip to Apple Hill the weekend before last.  It actually didn’t take much convincing to get Preston to go with me.  He was fairly excited for orchards, wineries, and food.  Who wouldn’t be?!  Of course, he did seem to realize that he would be forced to go regardless of…

  • Roasted Vegetable & Creamy Pesto Sandwich

    I had a sandwich like this at a little random restaurant while wine tasting this weekend, and it was so good that I had to recreate it immediately!  My friends and I went to Amador County for some wine tasting (some pics on yesterday’s weekend recap post), and we wound up getting a little lost. …

  • June Salad Challenge + Basil Gnocchi + Roasted Asparagus Salad

      Ohmygosh it’s June already! Can you believe it? I am done with all the posts about myself, but I really did enjoy having a blogging challenge last month.  This month I’m giving myself a new challenge: a salad a day.  I always aim for a salad a day, but it’s usually just a goal…

  • Marsala & Garlic Roasted Mushrooms

    Want some mushrooms that have been roasted in sweet wine?  With lots of garlic too? I thought you might. I have never had marsala wine before, but always wanted to try, so I picked up a bottle at Trader Joe’s this weekend and just tested cooking a couple mushrooms that I’d completely drenched in it. …

  • Chipotle Roasted Sweet Potatoes

      I have a new obsession.  I already posted it, but the obsession has grown exponentially since that day.  Earth Balance + chipotles in adobo.  Sooooo good. I first used it on the buttery chipotle crostini I made to go with my split pea soup!  Remember that?  No?  Well, it was delicious.  Look into it.…

  • Easy Cheesy Roasted Brussels & Potatoes

        So usually I have a story behind the food I make, some kind of inspiration for a recipe. This has none of that.  It’s just yummy.  That’s it. Really yummy. If you haven’t tried nutritional yeast yet, I think coating roasted veggies with it is definitely the way to go.  It turns into…

  • Roasted Brussels Sprouts w/ Caramelized Onions

    The other day I whipped up this quick dinner and just kept throwing things together, and it turned out so beautiful and delicious I had to snap some pictures and make a post of it!  I had very little left in my fridge aside from a big bag of Brussels sprouts to use up –…

  • Roasted Butternut Squash & Fennel Soup w/ Crispy Apple-Sage Sausage

      Today was the first really fall-like day we’ve had in Sacramento, which I was pretty excited about.  So it’s time for my first really fall-like soup recipe!  Hoorah! 

  • Drunken Tuscan Pasta w/ Pan-Roasted Tomatoes

    I got to do something pretty exciting yesterday!  I joined the brilliant planners and participants for the 2nd Annual Sacramento Vegan Chef Challenge for a little meet-and-greet.  The Vegan Chef Challenge (“VCC”) is a month-long event here in Sacramento in which a bunch of restaurants have agreed to provide a vegan menu.  They’ll make an…
