breakfast
whole lemon and ginger tea with honey
between the farmers market and chinese medical school, i get a lot of different recipes relayed to me in short little snippets – usually no more than 15 words or so. off the top of my head i think of the sweet pickled carrots and daikon or the okra and miso marinara, both of which [...]
parsnip muffins and blood orange mimosas
i rarely follow recipes word for word. i’ve been toying around with the proportions in this whole wheat apple muffin recipe from smitten kitchen, but with everything except apples. i tried them with blueberries, pear – and now – shredded parsnip, which i got the idea for from the very gingery parsnip cupcake at four [...]
pomegranate and dark chocolate chunk scones
scones have become my go-to baked good as of late. i like how they can be a hardy catch-all for whatever ingredients seem to be lying around, they aren’t overly sweet, they keep well and i’ve already got a killer recipe that can flex to my specifications. all you really need is a pastry cutter, [...]
whole wheat raspberry rhubarb scones
i started this recipe with an hour left before i had to walk out the door for improv practice. we had just gone berry picking that morning at underwood farms, so there was a pound plus of fresh raspberries staring me down, with a few ants still crawling on them and juice already leaking from [...]
dutch baby with berries and honey yogurt cream
i kept seeing recipes for dutch babies all over the internet, but it was the version on orangette that made me finally bite the bullet and try out this buttery, over-sized pancake – and boy am i glad i did. eggs make up for most of the batter, so it’s low in flour and has [...]
spring veggie frittata
i used to make a lot of quiches because they are really easy to make ahead of time for lunch leftovers and are a perfect catch-all for any veggies i have in your fridge. but i realized that a frittata is basically a quiche without the crust – even lighter and easier to whip up! [...]
coconut and oat pancakes
i’ve been eying this recipe by orangette for a while now, and finally attempted something similar. instead of buttermilk to soak the oats in i knew i could use thick and slightly sweet coconut milk, so i tossed in a little shredded coconut while i was at it. it all soaks in the fridge for [...]
raw maple flax granola
my dad bought a dehydrator many years back, probably after being convinced by an infomercial that making his own jerky would change his life. but several years later it ended up sitting in the cabinet unused, along side the super slicer and turbo cooker. being that i was in the market for a good dehydrator [...]
apricot scones
i don’t understand why it’s considered normal to eat super sweet food first thing in the morning. if i wake up and eat a blueberry muffin my blood sugar will be bouncing up and down all day, let alone pancakes or waffles stacked high and drizzled in syrup. that’s why i usually look to the [...]
a raw oat breakfast for two
i’ve been working at my local juice bar for a few months now where we make all the milk for our smoothies fresh daily. we make coconut milk by blending the meat and the water – we make almond, oat and buckwheat milks by simply soaking, blending and straining the grains or nuts. the pulp [...]
