Minimalism. Mindfulness. Munchies.
When I was a college student in Santa Fe, I worked for a local kitchen store and cooking school called Las Cosas. There were lots of perks of working in a kitchen store for a budding foodie, not the least of which was that, if one of the cooking classes didn’t sell out, and...
Kale, Italian Sausage, & White Bean Soup. Collard Greens, Andouille, and Kidney Bean Soup. Spinach, Chicken Sausage, and White Bean Soup. Get it? Sound good? A very easy and budget-friendly dinner option. I thought about titling this “quick & cheap,” but greens have such a reputation to uphold these days! Any variation featuring this...
You know those weeks when you are adrift in the meal-planning doldrums? When it just seems so far out and unimaginable that people actually make dinner every night? Asking yourself: What do people eat?? Wait, I’m a person, I should know this one… I have those weeks, but thankfully this isn’t one of them!...
If you’ve seen any of my previous meal plans, you know I’m a big fan of using up leftovers in interesting ways. This leftover magic remix is very similar! I started by cooking this crockpot Buffalo chicken from Skinnytaste; I served it on whole wheat buns with a slaw made from broccoli slaw and...

It’s mushroom season here in Colorado! My Facebook news feed has been dotted with photos of the gorgeous, wine-colored caps of wild porcinis for the last couple of weeks—some as big as three pounds! I haven’t made it up to the mountains to do any hunting of my own yet, though I have a...
I just ADORE this “tool” from Mark Bittman at the New York Times which offers up dozens of interchangeable ideas for what to put in your crock pot during the summer. A lot of us think of crock pots as wintertime tools—for stews and braised meats, primarily. But they can work wonders when you don’t...
