Raspberry + Coconut Dark Chocolate Cups
So, we’ve been home 3 weeks today. I’ve written this blog post over and over in my mind since the very moment we stepped foot off that plane. But now that I’m finally sitting down to write, I don’t really know where to begin. So many people have asked us why we moved back to […]
Gluten-free Holiday Cookie recipes
Chocolate-filled baby hazelnut cookies (gluten + dairy-free) Try as I might, pulling together a new recipe for a post this past month was just not ever going to happen. Between final book edits, dance rehearsals, end of year school trips and packing up our ENTIRE LIFE to ship home to NZ (in just over two […]
Indonesian-inspired choko curry + photos from Bali!
The first time I travelled to Bali as a 10 year old, I can’t say I really took in the food at all.

Sara’s strawberry + quinoa tabouli
We’re finally emerging from the fog of sickness that wiped out both kids these past few weeks. I wasn’t pretty. Days blurred into sleepless fever-spiked nights. Dates were confused, as we hibernated from the cold and rain. All outside distractions were forgotten as I did my best to nurse my babies back to health. Miraculously, […]
