Would you all still love me if you found out that I watched Gossip Girl for 12 hours (straight) this weekend? Please tell me that you all still love me anyways. Because exactly that has happened. And since we’re being completely open and honest, I loved every single second of it. My Mr. Carrot is…

Wednesday + RECIPE: Curried Carrot Soup with Cumin Roasted Chickpeas
Some weeks it’s worth celebrating just making it to Wednesday. Like this week, when you skipped out on all your to-do lists two nights in a row to cook elaborate yummy meals and then ended up dropping both, yes both, meals on the floor. Oh, was that just me? Grumble, grumble. I don’t want to…
Weekends are for Lovers + RECIPE: Banana Bread French Toast
On this perfect it’s-almost-spring weekend, this little weekend lover: Attempted this, but subbed in cauliflower and bacon for the mortadella and changed just about everything else. They need a little work. More news on this later. Attempted an avocado pistachio pesto (because it is March and there is no basil for sale anywhere) then disappointingly…
Local Education
This past week, I had one of the best meals of my life. And not only did I not cook it, I didn’t even take one picture to show for it. I’m so sorry. I’m a terrible blogger. But honestly, I was way too busy devouring and learning to even remember that my camera, er,…
No Time Like The Present
I have been wanting to make this recipe for far too long. Since I first checked out Plenty More from the library and became entranced by its stunning and beautiful photographs. Since way after the book was due. Since long before our last butternut squash rotted away in its basket, unused as I waited for the perfect…
RECIPE: Working Girl’s Oatmeal
Believe it or not, in addition to farming and blogging and the occasional waitressing shift, three to four days a week I am a working girl. An in-the-city, in-an-office (at least it’s a beautiful non-profit office filled with amazingly beautiful people) working girl. And busy working girls sometimes need a quick go-to breakfast. This oatmeal…
Quest for the Perfect Waffle + RECIPE: Alton’s Perfect Waffle
I have been looking for years for the perfect waffle recipe for my traditional (non-Belgian) waffle iron. Just because I don’t have a Belgian waffle iron, doesn’t mean I don’t still deserve waffles that are crisp on the outside and soft on the inside and somehow equal parts fluffy and dense. A waffle that is…
Spring Fever + RECIPE: Winter Hash & Avocado Toast
Spring fever. Oh it’s in the air. Days are getting longer. Which means my commute home is no longer in the dark and sometimes when I’m feeling extra ambitious, I can even get a little time with the pups on the trail before the sun goes down. And daylight savings, and with it more sunshine,…

MOSES conference + RECIPE: Butternut Squash Mustard
Sorry everyone!!! It’s been too long! I feel like I haven’t cooked or talked to you in forever! I know it hasn’t actually been very long at all but my mind has been so preoccupied that it feels like months and months have gone by since we last spoke. What has my mind been so preoccupied…
