We can obsess over a quick protein salad, can’t we? We can. And this one is speedy, beany, herby and crunchy. What’s not to love. I didn’t roast these chickpeas, but get on with that if it fuels you. I looooove roasted chickpeas to freaking death, but my impatience won this time. Jars open, beans […]

Farro Salad with Cucumbers, Shallots and Mint

Chicken Koftas

A nano second later we noticed sprouts appearing all OVER the bed. These weren’t seeds we planted you guys. These were volunteers. Intruders. Burglars. So we compared the sprouts to […]
Basil-y Grilled Salmon with Cucumbers and Potatoes
Today I went the extra mile to prove to my husband that I do in fact love him. We went, and I’m not kidding, to the Street League Skateboarding Championship at the Sprint Center. Skateboarding. Let me remind you, I’m FEMALE. AND 34. In the 15,000 people that attended, there was only 1 other female, […]
