Last updated on April 8th, 2019 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…

Butternut Squash & Bacon Deviled Eggs
Last updated on April 8th, 2019 Howdy from Texas! We’re in Austin/San Antonio for a quick trip to visit Lucas’s family and are currently on our last day of binge-eating Mexican food and allofthemeat. We warmed up for our trip by snacking on these spicy butternut squash deviled eggs topped with crispy bacon.
Spaghetti Squash Fritters with Dill Yogurt Sauce
Last updated on April 8th, 2019 For years we’ve talked about houses as though we could actually buy them. “We’d totally knock down this wall” or “we’d change the counter tops first thing.” Just dreaming, of course, but we could spend hours visually remodeling a house (and we have for our current rental). Finally these daydreams…
Heirloom Tomato and Bell Pepper Gazpacho
Last updated on April 8th, 2019 Oh hai there. Remember me? Yeah, probably not. I made this end-of-summer heirloom tomato and bell pepper gazpacho almost two weeks ago to match up with our lil’ baby’s size, but then my best friend was getting married and I spent a full week using all of my creative juices mulling…
Seeded Cheddar Brazilian Cheese Bread
Last updated on April 8th, 2019 Do you love cheese as much as I do? Did you wake up at 3am to make nachos the other night too? No? Just me then? Hm. Anytime you want to stop by at 3am to wake me up for a nacho-fest, I’m totally in. I know I’m supposed to be…
Mexican Street Corn Grilled Polenta Bites
Last updated on April 8th, 2019 Last Saturday was one long celebration of Lucas’s birthday (though his actual birthday is today!). We meant to get up early to spend the full day at food festivals, but in true Sarah-Lucas form, we slept in (shocker). We’re the kind of people who set three alarms – 7:00,…
Black Sesame and Wild Rice Crackers {Gluten-free}
Last updated on May 11th, 2019 I made a cup of rice in the rice cooker a few nights back and forgot about it. Overnight! As in, I didn’t eat any of it and it wasn’t until the next morning that I remembered I’d put rice in the cooker. I started the rice, then planned to…
Gluten-free Scallion Pancakes
Last updated on April 8th, 2019 Sometimes a recipe idea pops in my head seemingly from nowhere at all (the recipe gods?). Take these gluten-free scallion pancakes, for example. I’d never eaten a scallion pancake. Not once in my whole life. In fact, I’m not even sure I’d ever even seen a picture of scallion pancakes…
Pistachio Basil Ricotta Spread with Honey
Last updated on April 8th, 2019 There’s an insane amount of cheese in our fridge right now (best problem to have). Last week Lucas came home with teeny tiny half-wheel of fancy cheese and a box of crackers he’d picked up at the market on his way home from work. In our marriage, this gesture…
Halloween Jack Skellington Ricotta Olive Tarts
Last updated on April 8th, 2019 Halloween struts in at just the right time. With some sort of time warp, it’s magically the end of October and I’m on the brink of losing my mind. Anyone else with me? I poured a scoop of cat food into the detergent slot of the washing machine at…
Texas BBQ pulled pork quesadillas with vinegar slaw
Last updated on April 8th, 2019 The neighbors got suspicious when they peered through the fence and noticed Lucas and Mikey digging a 4-foot deep 3×5-foot pit in our backyard. By offering an invitation, I assured them that we were planning to roast a pig, not bury a body. For my last 20-something birthday, we invited all our…
Goat cheese stuffed figs with pancetta
Last updated on April 8th, 2019 Here, have a goat cheese stuffed fig! Now that you’re munching on something, I’m bursting at the seams in excitement over the news I’ve got – I can’t contain myself. (No Mom, we’re not pregnant). Snixy Kitchen is getting a remodel! A digital remodel. A make-over. A complete overhaul…
Baked white bean and artichoke dip
Last updated on April 16th, 2019 We should probably go pick up some lottery tickets. At least the low-investment scratch-off kind. You see, we’re on a winning streak. How’d you get so lucky? I don’t have an answer for that, so I’ll just brag about it instead. Our good fortune extends beyond how lucky I feel that I got to…
Zucchini arepas: zucchini corn cakes with cheese, salsa, and guacamole
Last updated on April 8th, 2019 When I first went off to college, I’d regularly call my mom from the grocery store to ask, “in what part of the store would I find _____ ?” Anything from salsa to olives to pizza sauce. For me, this was the adult manifestation of watching my parents drive from one place to the next without…
DIY Bacon gifts: bacon jam, bacon salt, and bacon candy
Last updated on April 8th, 2019 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…
Coca Cola pulled chicken sliders
Last updated on April 8th, 2019 Since we’re back in the US now, I thought I’d share a recipe that screams “America!” And what’s more American than Coca Cola, amiright? Really, I made these sliders the week before we left, but I’ve been saving the recipe. To be honest, besides my fresh fruit breakfasts, I hardly…
Spinach artichoke dip stuffed mushrooms
Last updated on April 10th, 2019 Despite attending two Pac 10 schools, I have very little interest in March Madness. I feel pretty much the same about it as I do about the Superbowl. If my friends are watching, I’m more than happy to make finger food all day and chat during commercial breaks. Except…
Gluten-free tempura artichoke hearts with spiced aioli
Last updated on June 8th, 2014 You know something’s awry when St. Patrick’s day comes and goes with radio silence over here at Snixy Kitchen. I love themed food, and with my birthday the day after, March 17th has a special place in my heart. Alas, I’m up to my ears and drowning in wedding planning, and…
Almond crusted baked goat cheese medallions
Last updated on September 13th, 2018 My elementary school soul mate got married few weeks ago. The kind of soul mate that pretends to taste the broccoli you’re eating just by holding your hand. You know, the kind that will spend all recess walking in circles with you around the roots of the giant oak tree…
Over easy avocado toasts [Gluten-Free]
Last updated on February 16th, 2013 When you’ve got chronic headaches, you’ll try just about anything to find a remedy. Over the past few years, I’ve exhausted nearly every possible option to get rid of them, short of adjusting what I eat. You see, when I tell myself “let’s just take a break from cheese…
BBQ tofu bites
Last updated on March 30th, 2014 As a California native living in The Bay Area, I really should have been much more interested in the Superbowl than I was (or ever have been for that matter). While in Chico making wedding crafts for the past two weeks (Lucas in China, again), my dad turned on…
Healthy whole wheat vegetable quiche
Last updated on March 30th, 2014 Howdy, folks! We returned from our trip to Texas (more on that in the next post), did a few loads of laundry, and quickly headed out again. Lucas to China and I to my parents’ house for a couple of weeks to write a dissertation proposal and work on…
Cherry Garcia salad & a blogiversary GIVEAWAY! [Giveaway Closed]
Last updated on March 30th, 2014 One of the coolest people I know turned another year older last week. From the looks of it though, you’d never be able to tell my mama was aging. If we were sitting around a fire pit roasting marshmallows, all the smoke would go toward her since, as my…
Caprese salad quinoa stuffed portabellas
Last updated on March 30th, 2014 Happy 2013! This year’s gonna be a good one – filled with a wedding(!) and house hunting. That’s right, folks, we’ve set a June deadline for moving into a place with a larger kitchen. Don’t worry, with the rental prices in Berkeley, the kitchen will likely still be pint-sized, but…
