It’s summer now, and summer shouts one thing to me: stone fruit! This peach gazpacho is the perfect summer dish. I love to serve this as a starter with a glass of sparkling rose and some cheeses. It also makes a great light lunch with a green salad. For something extra, I love to add…
macadamia pecorino pesto
This is a great tapa to serve with a cheese and charcuterie board. Unlike a typical basil pesto, this one is all about the pecorino, and I like to serve it in endive boats or in a small bowl with crusty bread and some castelvetrano olives. This would also be a great topping for yam…

easy breakfast – carrot cake oatmeal
We made this carrot cake raw oatmeal in my last cooking class. I love raw oatmeal because the oats retain their nutritional value when they’re raw, and because it’s an easy meal to prep, though you do have to start it the night before. This carrot cake raw oatmeal takes it to the next level,…

matcha chlorella lemonade
You might multiply this recipe and make a big batch on a Sunday to enjoy all week long. I blend everything together in my vitamix so the matcha and chlorella powders dissolve completely. I love matcha for its clean jitter-less energy and I love chlorella for its protein and chelating properties. Together they turn this…
cauli-sweet potato smoothie bowl v2
Another day, another smoothie bowl. You may remember the original cauli-sweet potato smoothie bowl I posted last month… but this one’s just a little bit different with no dates, maca or lucuma, or mesquite, adding cinnamon, reishi, and collagen. You know I love sweet potatoes, and to keep the color beautiful here, I’m using a white sweet potato along…
favorite: avocado oil spray
At my last cooking class, a lot of people expressed an interest in learning about what brands and items I stock in my pantry… and what I stay away from. I’m going to share here on my blog. Chosen Foods Avocado Oil Spray is a staple in my kitchen. I started using it because I needed…
paleo beet hummus
Not all of us can eat beans… so I created this bean-free (paleo!) hummus. It’s super easy and delicious. Just give yourself enough time to soak your walnuts and roast your beets. In the picture, it’s layered with avocado and some seeds in an endive boat, but you can eat it any way you would…
the next chapter
These are exciting times! We’re getting ready to open a second Source location, and my co-author Taji and I have been taken on by a literary agent to represent our forthcoming cookbook! While stress can run high, I’m trying to take moments wherever I can to breathe and enjoy what’s in front of me. Between…
