Things with Maizy have been rough. She spent last Friday in the ICU trying to get her IBD under control. She’s stable for now and home with us. Her spirits are pretty good, and she’s been resting a lot at home. It was an emotionally taxing weekend for all of us. During stressful times like these, it’s nice […]

Tortilla Soup
We’re currently having a torrential downpour in Seattle with insane winds, sideways rain, thunder and lightning, the whole nine yards. Speaking of nine yards (is that a football reference?!), the Seahawks are playing the Saints today in Seattle. I feel bad for those guys out on the field, and the people who are actually planning to […]
Rosemary-Sage Butternut Squash Soup
Apparently Thanksgiving is hurdling towards us quite quickly! I, for one, woke up this morning shocked that we’re already practically to mid-November. I’ll post a Thanksgiving recipe round-up soon to help with some ideas for the big day, but I thought this might be a nice main dish option. Soup is generally a non-traditional main […]
Curried Pumpkin Soup
I’m finally ready to admit it’s fall. The leaves are officially changing and dropping to the ground. The weather has turned and the days are getting shorter. I’ve pulled out my fall coat and scarves from the closet. For me, this soup epitomizes fall. It’s pumpkin — one of the stars of autumn produce — and […]
Shiitake Noodle Soup
After a visit to the naturopath earlier this week, I’ve been assigned to do an elimination diet. First step: eliminate ALL grains, except for rice for three weeks. Today is day 4 and, honestly, once I hid all the bread items in the house in the freezer so they weren’t staring at me every time […]
Roasted Nectarine Coconut Soup with Cardamom
When my mom was here visiting, she took us out for an absolutely amazing meal at Sutra in Wallingford. I’ve blogged about Sutra before. This, though, was by far the tastiest meal we’ve had there to date. The first course was a cardamom grilled nectarine coconut soup with an arugula salad on the side. Oh man, was […]
Egyptian Red Lentil Stew
I’m in Pittsburgh visiting my family. My mom and I made a delicious dinner last night–red lentil stew, farro salad, and roasted asparagus. I can’t wait to share the amazing farro salad recipe from my mom with you, but for now here is the red lentil stew, which is one of Eric’s and my favorite go-to meals […]
Potato, Leek, Fennel Soup
After we bought a bunch of leeks and fennel at the vegetable stand last week, I’ve been trying to figure out different recipes to use either or both. The beet, fennel, pomegranate salad was one recipe. This potato, leek, fennel soup is another. I’ve generally had an aversion to using leeks because of how sandy they […]
Chipotle Chili
The other night I made up this chili recipe and we topped it with the butternut squash salsa I had made the night before. I grew up on green chili stew, which is probably my favorite, and is very different from the tomato based chili to which most Americans are accustomed. Lately, though, I’ve been on a […]
Basil Kale & White Bean Soup
In the middle of summer, I’m always looking for ways to use the abundance of basil we grow in our garden. Summer salads with basil are great, as are pestos, but it’s been quite a cool summer overall. My sister arrived on Thursday from Baltimore, where it’s been hovering in the high 90’s and low […]
