Summer-summer-summer-time! Summertime means zucchini-time in my li’l brain. My family had a big, completely unruly and untended vegetable garden that produced 8 billion zucchini no matter HOW much we ignored it! I used to have to wade through thistles and weeds to pick the zukes and heavenly-smelling tomatoes among other veggies. It wasn’t fun –…
I’m in Love with the Coco! Playa Blanco Chicken
Oh, my word – I’m about to get all up in your grill with this delicious, tropical recipe. And you KNOW I mean your backyard barbecue grill! You can totally make this quick coconut-turmeric-ginger-lime-black pepper chicken on the stovetop or in the oven as well, but the point is, you have to make it, and…
Keto Hazelnut Lace Waffles
Last night, I catered and attended a rather impromptu little dinner party for a treasured friend and client. I feel so fortunate that I get to work with people I adore, and that oftentimes, I can surprise them with a menu that I know that they will love based on my past interactions. It’s the…
Fermented Friday! Addictive Burmese Tea Leaf Salad
One of my go-to spots for to-go food in San Francisco, the land of 10,000 dishes, is B Star Bar on Clement Street, the chilled out little brother of the famed Burma Superstar. Both places have a variety of amazing options, but I personally only go there for one: the fermented tea leaf salad. It’s…
Fauxlenta! Grain-Free Creamy Polenta with Mushrooms, Kale, & Dates
I love polenta. It’s smooth, creamy, just a little bit sweet, and goes with pretty much everything despite being an oft-neglected member of the gluten-free carb family. But I have an ever increasing base of grain-free clients, and just had a client ask me to whip up a vegan & Paleo dinner party menu –…
Wrap It Up! I’ll Take It – Cleansing, Cancer-Fighting Collard Wraps
These last couple of weeks have been awesomely busy, but left me feeling a little run down. The only thing to do when feeling overextended, in my book, is to bring the energy back in with self-care and extra-clean eating. So with massages booked, feet up, and probiotics popped (this is my blend of choice) – I’m…
So Fresh and So Green Green Curry Paste
Oh. My. God. I think I just died. Did I die? Because if I’m alive, this super-easy green vegetable curry is heaven on Earth and will leave your tummy singing like an angel! It took me less than 10 minutes to prep AND cook with the ingredients I have on hand, which you will if…
Thai Five Blend, Tamarind Dipping Sauce, and Spring Roll Bites
Now that we know about all of the health bennies of the Thai 5, it’s time to incorporate them into some delicious recipes, and I don’t know anybody who doesn’t love a good spring roll! Rice paper wrappers are available at most supermarkets these days, and once you learn how to make these little guys,…
OOOOO, Mommy! San Francisco Som Tam – Green Papaya Salad
Tart, salty, sweet, and spicy. Words that describe both my personality and so many amazingly delicious Thai dishes. Somewhere between daily massages, beach treks, yoga classes, and steam baths, I learned how to cook healthy Thai cuisine at a fantastic health retreat and juice-fasting spa in Thailand called Samui Detox, high on a mountain on…
Kale, Yeah! One Kick-Ass Salad
So, I made this amazingly delicious salad yesterday and got quite a bit of feedback from different sources requesting more information. It’s SO EASY, and sooooo tasty, I’d be a selfish Sally not to share! Make it both vegan and Paleo simply by omitting the cheese. Kale, Yeah! One Kick-Ass Salad Print Prep time…
