I’m not about to let a holiday season slip by without sharing a recipe for the bacon-lover in your life. Admit it, you all know someone who is obsessed with bacon – why else would we mass produce bacon bandages, bacon toothpaste, bacon socks, and for all those bacon-pizza-cat-lovers: THIS?

Maple Bacon Fat Caramels
Does your loved one have a thing for bacon?

And maybe a whole slew of these other DIY bacon gifts I made last year….
Chocolate candied bacon ice cream
On this Saturday a year ago, we were melting in the 110°F sun while exchanging forever and ever vows in front of all our friends and family. Best and hottest day ever. A friend recently asked, “is Chico always that hot? When I think of Chico I think of scorching heat that I never want to…
DIY Bacon gifts: bacon jam, bacon salt, and bacon candy
Back in January, my friend Tina kicked off the new year with a resolution about healthy eating. I kicked it off by infusing bacon into everything. And then waited 4 months to tell you about it – until it was safe to say that most New Year’s resolutions had been long forgotten and you’d be…
Double chocolate bacon cupcakes
Candied bacon is all the rage these days, and pairing it with chocolate seems to be a popular choice. To test the fad, Lucas and I shared a strip of chocolate covered bacon on a candy shop stop on our Colorado trip earlier this year. Who knew the salt and sugar combination would be so tasty?…
Seared swiss chard and leeks topped with crispy bacon
This chard lasted less than an hour from being picked to being served in a deliciously fresh dish. On Sunday, Lucas and I visited my cousin Scott’s urban farm down in Hayward and came home with a bag bursting with freshly harvested citrus and greens. We first made a pit stop by his home garden…
Butternut squash soup with bacon, sage, and parmesan crisps
Tonight’s meal began with two jumbo artichokes I impulse bought for 98 cents yesterday (you can’t pass that up); I had to find something that complemented this find.

In partnership with Pacific Foods, I’ve used their Hazelnut Non-Dairy Beverage to create sweet morning muffins with a distinct nutty flavor that are fluffy and moist.

Served over a bed of pasta, this low-prep one-skillet chicken is simple enough for a weeknight, but fancy enough for a dinner party.

Roasted Butternut Squash and Cardamom Granola Yogurt Breakfast Bowls
I hate mornings. I’ve always hated mornings. I’m cut from the night-owl cloth and, as someone who doesn’t drink coffee, what could possibly drag me out of bed in the AM? In high school, my mom would start the shower then wake me by telling me I was wasting water by staying in bed (it worked…mostly) (sorry,…
Gluten-free Savory Amaranth Waffles
I wanted to wax poetic about these gluten-free savory amaranth waffles because they deserve a sonnet, but then I sliced open the tip of my index finger on the blade of the food processor today, which is proving challenging for typing. These waffles though.

While some of you may have made New Year’s resolutions to eat healthy, I’ve spent the past week dreaming about what kind of cookie I want to make next (chewy gluten free oatmeal toffee cookies sweetened with dates in case you’re wondering – no shame). Then I promptly ate all the leftover…
Kabocha Empanadas with Gruyère & Thyme {Gluten-free}
It’s really tough to edit photos and write about food as tantalizing as these empanadas while in the middle of fasting for a glucose test in the morning. Talk about torture. The clinic instructions prompted me to have snacks ready for when the test was over, so naturally I’ve prepped the dough and fixings to put another batch of these…
Black Sesame Pumpkin Mochi Cake
To celebrate Halloween (aka pumpkin month) and getting the keys to our new house, I baked up two trays of this black sesame pumpkin mochi cake. Last Wednesday, we chowed on take-out and this mochi cake on folding chairs in our new (empty) house with our good friends Dane & Angi. We’ll have a new…

Hibiscus Ginger Ice Cream Float – A Trio of Floats Collaboration
Summer is finally barreling in – and by barreling I mean, it’s peaking near 70°F here, which means as long as the sun is out I only need a light cardigan. Like I said: barreling. Meanwhile, we just bought an outdoor space heater for our back porch so we can actually have barbecues this summer without…
