Easy chocolate peanut butter pretzel hearts recipe
Lemon Poppyseed Yogurt Loaf
One thing that I enjoyed about living in San Francisco was the abundance of citrus. It was so easy to grow there that a co-worker with a Meyer lemon tree in her yard would bring in big bags of lemons to give away. Given the differences in climate, I figured it wouldn’t be possible to […]
Slow-Roasted Cherry Tomatoes
In the last couple of weeks my tomato plants have been producing tons of cherry tomatoes. Last summer I discovered the best way to use up an excess of cherry tomatoes: slow roast them. Chop them in half, throw them in a baking pan with olive oil, garlic, herbs, and salt, and they shrink up […]

Almond Honey Cold-Brewed Coffee
Too hot for coffee? Stay cool with honey almond milk cold-brew coffee.
Raspberry and Rhubarb Crostata
This was my very first time making a crostata, and I quickly discovered the advantages over a pie. With a pie, you have to worry about making your crust pretty, but since a crostata is supposed to look “rustic,” it’s totally fine for the crust to be a bit pretty messy. Also, you don’t need to […]
