Last updated on August 20th, 2019 Earthy whole grains mix into a pliable gluten-free pasta dough that cooks up smooth with a deep flavor profile that’s simultaneously rich and balanced, while also soaking up the flavors of whatever sauce it’s tossed in. Gluten-free pasta perfection. With an independent organic market down my street and countless…

Gluten-Free Tempura Asparagus with Matcha Salt
Last updated on April 8th, 2019 Ultra-crispy gluten-free tempura asparagus spears fried up with a rice flour and egg batter, then sprinkled with togarashi and earthy matcha salt to give these spears lots of sweet, savory, and salty matcha umami. While you will likely find tempura something on most Japanese restaurant menus in the States, our experience when visiting…
Gluten-Free Butternut Squash Falafel Salad Bowls with Pickled Beets
Last updated on July 8th, 2019 Crispy gluten-free chickpea and butternut squash falafels on a bed of quinoa and arugula with an assortment of flavor-packed salad toppings: Quick-pickled beets, crispy fried shallots, crumbled feta, roasted peanuts, and a drizzle of tahini dressing. Zoella has suddenly discovered that she has free will. Namely that she can say no…
Roasted Butternut Squash and Cardamom Granola Yogurt Breakfast Bowls
Last updated on April 8th, 2019 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…
Asiago Seed and Cheese Crisps
Last updated on April 8th, 2019 My girl Carla and I have fallen into a standing weekly boba & pupusas lunch date. We didn’t set out to turn it into a habit, but last month, the waiter at the pupuseria came up to our table and grinned, “the regular?” That’s when we realized what we’d become. In all fairness,…
Maple Harissa Sweet Potato Gratin
Last updated on April 8th, 2019 I keep meeting people who insist they don’t really like sweet potatoes. And by people, I mean my husband. This maple harissa sweet potato gratin topped with almond dukkah is for all those bah humbug naysayers. Here, the sweetness from red garnet “yams” is subdued with hot chili pepper paste (harissa) and topped…
Roasted Squash with Burrata, Spicy Hazelnuts, and Maple Vinaigrette
Last updated on April 8th, 2019 We usually have our Thanksgiving menu planned weeks in advance, but this year we’re heading to my folks’ house and they’ve been in New Zealand for the past three weeks. In other words, my mom hasn’t been thinking about meal planning at all. By default that puts me in…
Apple, Cheddar, & Caramelized Onion Galettes with Gluten-Free Buckwheat Crust
Last updated on October 30th, 2018 Today’s recipe celebrates two strong, inspirational, nasty women and their badass cookbooks that just hit the shelves. The apple, cheddar, & caramelized onion galette combo comes from The Gourmet Kitchen by Jennifer from Savory Simple and I’ve paired it with the gluten-free buckwheat pastry crust from Alanna’s Alternative Baker cookbook. They’re…
Chicken Pot Pie with Chestnut Biscuits
Last updated on April 8th, 2019 This warm and roasty chicken pot pie topped with chestnut biscuits is a tribute to the cutest new baby bowl to join Two Red Bowls. Today was officially Cynthia’s due date, but baby bowl just couldn’t wait to eat his mama’s cooking and came a little early! Welcome to this big strange world, baby bowl,…
Butternut Squash & Turkey Lasagna with Chestnut Pasta
Last updated on April 8th, 2019 Lasagna from scratch was the first dish I made Lucas. He says it’s when he fell in love with me, but that was like our third date, so probably an exaggeration. On the other hand, it might also be the reason I have a husband, so I keep making…
Ginger Lemongrass Pork Lettuce Wraps
Last updated on April 8th, 2019 These ginger lemongrass pork lettuce wraps with nuoc cham sauce are my contribution to a lettuce wrap party for two with Todd of Honestlyyum . When we hatched plans to use a lettuce wrap collab to try our hand at stop-motion video (inspired by Betty’s tutorial), I could have sworn he said “Hey, can I come…
Gluten-free Savory Amaranth Waffles
Last updated on April 8th, 2019 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.
Mole-Spiced Chickpea & Grilled Zucchini Tacos
Last updated on April 8th, 2019 We’re 7 months into this whole parenting gig and we’ve learned a lot. Not least of which is that as long as you have tortillas, you can generally always make tacos out of the contents of your fridge. These mole-spiced chickpea and grilled zucchini tacos are just that. Though, I have been day dreaming about…
Ricotta Tomato Tart with Gluten-free Cornmeal Crust & Arugula Walnut Pesto
Last updated on April 8th, 2019 Does anyone else get severe produce anxiety? As much as I like the idea of a CSA, it hardcore stresses me out. Suddenly a crate full of arugula and what if I don’t have time to eat the arugula before the edges wilt and the whole bag gets slimy? What happens if…
Eggplant and Zucchini Caponata with Burrata
Last updated on August 2nd, 2019 I didn’t grow up in a house with an alarm system. On the contrary, we left windows open all night, doors unlocked, and our friends didn’t knock. But once you’ve had something stolen from you – like say, your wallet and social security card right out of your backpack your first week…
Mint Jicama Cantaloupe Salad with Toasted Pepitas
Last updated on June 10th, 2019 I’m chopping up this mint jicama cantaloupe salad while practicing my breathing. The world said goodbye to a magic maker last week – unexpectedly too early. Two, actually. Just two weeks ago, I woke up to a group message to the 2007 cast of The Ash Girl. It was our former director letting us know…
Vegan Sunflower Butter Buckwheat Noodle Bowl from Pure Delicious
Last updated on April 8th, 2019 With temperatures reaching about a billion degrees, cold dinner is where it’s at. I could live off this vegan sunflower butter buckwheat noodle bowl through the dog days of summer. It’s my jam. With the house all but melting into The Bay, we’ve found another new evening groove to keep the babe…
Berry, Herb, & Cheese Toast Bites – Two Ways
Last updated on July 14th, 2016 On Zo’s first playdate with the neighbor baby, he pulled her hair so hard she cried. I told her it means he likes her (or else is jealous of her 3-month-old floppy mop of locks). I think she understood because on their next playdate, she stuck his hand in her mouth. Assertive and knows what she…
Green Goddess Pesto & Goat Cheese Bites
Last updated on October 28th, 2018 After frustratingly spending all day as a human pacifier, we started helping Zoella learn to put herself to sleep last night. She fended off fussies with her whole fist in her mouth. And though she can’t sit up or crawl yet, she pivoted perpendicular to her crib. It took every ounce of restraint not to just…
Cinnamon Raisin Seed and Nut Bread (Gluten-free & Vegan)
Last updated on May 23rd, 2019 This bread is an ode to my dad and the cinnamon raisin bread bars he’d toast for his breakfast every morning when I was a kid (not for me – I turned my nose up at anything with mushy cooked raisins in it). Mornings are my dad’s jam. For me, they’re the absolute worst….
Lemony Roasted Asparagus and Cauliflower Salad
Last updated on April 8th, 2019 Meal planning has gone out the window of late. You can find me walking through the supermarket like a zombified hungry teenager scavenging for anything that looks and sounds appealing at that moment. If a hungry teenager liked produce more than chips and always wanted ice cream. Instead of chaotic shopping, I like to think…
Harissa Snap Peas with Cashew Hummus & Sunflower Seed Za’atar + New Mama Reflections
Last updated on April 8th, 2019 On our first evening away from our new babe, we snuck off to Gather to celebrate my birthday just the two of us and ordered way too much food – as though it’d been over a month since we’d eaten dinner at the same time (it had). We spoke a love…
Salmon Tacos with Green Onion & Asparagus Salsa
Raise your hand if you’ve ever had popcorn and ice cream for dinner because the thought of figuring out what to eat, going to the store, and coming back to cook it was enough to make you need a nap. Real talk. That’s basically mealtime with a new baby in a nutshell. (Also: when can I get that nap?). What if I told you someone would do the recipe planning and shopping part for you and you’d spend only 30 minutes in the kitchen before chowing down on these healthy salmon tacos?
You’d probably get that nap. That’s what.
Today I’m stoked to share about my collaboration with Sun Basket – what kept us nourished for the month after Zoella was born and brought these salmon tacos into my life. But first: let me paint the scene in our house.
Kale Salad with Toasted Nuts, Seeds, & Buckwheat
We’ve been eating a lot of quick meals since Zoella was born. And we’re doing a killer job of cleaning out our pantry, fridge, and freezer, all while trying to avoid going to the store with a baby who hates the car. This chopped kale salad with shredded apples, carrots, and allofthenuts/seeds/grains satisfies both those demands.
