Spring Pea and Asparagus Pasta

Spring Pea and Asparagus Pasta

My search for clarity has left me empty-handed this week, which isn’t to say that I haven’t tried. There have been long walks and talks with friends, vinyasas at yoga class and lots of sleep, maybe too much.

Ribboned Asparagus and Quinoa Salad

When the temperature hit a muggy ninety on Saturday, I declared that it is officially salad season in Oklahoma. Sure, it’s still spring, but soup weather ended last month and swimsuit weather is fast approaching (eeks!).

Buckwheat and Spelt Crepes

My first experience with crêpes was in high school. I took French back then, and joined the French Club for something to add to my college application. I even became the secretary of the French Club, meaning that I did, basically, rien. Nothing. It was the perfect role for my nerdy, lazy, 17-year-old self. Anyway, [...]

stir-fried millet with egg and vegetables

Springtime Stir-Fried Millet

Can we get real for a minute? I have some confessions to make. Before we get started, though, I’d like to point out the absurdity of the above photo. It’s a bowl stacked on top of another bowl. Who uses two bowls when one clearly does the job?! Laura’s latest post really drove home how [...]

baked asparagus frittata

Baked Asparagus Frittata

Good afternoon! I’m excited to announce a new collaboration with Chesapeake TASTE Magazine. At the beginning of each month, I’ll post an original, seasonal recipe on my new online column, called Fresh Vegetarian. This month I chose to create a springtime take on my basic baked frittata recipe. It’s as delicious as it is beautiful, [...]
