Favorite Things
Citrus and Chicory Salads. My current hyper fixation! I can’t get enough of these fresh and vibrant salads!! Bitter, juicy, peppery, fresh, and always stunning to look at 😍. I've shared the salad on the left previously but its so good I had to mention it again- the radicchio, citrus and prosciutto salad from Camille Styles. And on the right is the Citrus and Chicory Salad from the cookbook Salad Freak. Also check out the newest recipe on the blog below!
Bjorn Qorn. I'm on a major popcorn kick and nothing beats Bjorn Qorn popcorn! I love both the classic (nutritional yeast, oil, salt) and cloudy (oil, salt) versions. In my house, an open bag is a finished bag. My popcorn habit now has me making a big batch of popcorn every week and I was delighted to see Bjorn Qorn even sells kernels!
Sardinian Cuisine. I'm currently reading and cooking from Bitter Honey: Recipes and Stories from Sardinia by Letitia Clark. Like a lot of poverty cooking around the world, Sardinia cuisine is based on eating seasonally and locally, using inexpensive foodstuffs like pasta and beans, and using more expensive ingredients sparingly to elevate dishes. Sardinians are some of the longest living people in the world, and they are obsessed with eating and enjoying good food, no dieting, no trendy ingredients, no shame snacking or eating pasta for every night for dinner. This cookbook has been a good reminder for me to let go of what our culture deems 'healthy'. You don't need to avoid seed oils, buy the latest trendy ingredients, or spend a ton of money on expensive supplements to be healthy.
Snack Plate. My current favorite snack combo: mandarin slices, popcorn with olive oil and salt, thinly sliced parmesan, salami, and a couple pieces of dark chocolate
