If I’m being perfectly honest, I hate making salads. Especially in the bus, with our tiny counter and tinier fridge, it is such a hassle. One little bin of greens, enough to have salad with dinner for a few days, takes up about half of

Recipe Round-up (June 2024)

This month’s recipe round-up has some seriously good eats in it. Chorizo sandwiches stuffed with cheese, Spanish-inspired tuna patties with a seriously amazing aioli, a flavor-packed Thai green mango salad, and a light and refreshing ginger-glazed tofu bowl featuring probably the best tofu you’ve ever

Late spring and early summer always make me think of brunch. What’s better than sitting outside on a warm morning, preferably under a shade tree in someone’s garden, enjoying a nice breakfast and maybe a mimosa or two? This dish of fried eggs over a savory herb and lemon yogurt is a perfect brunch dish for this time of year–it’s simple to put together from ingredients which you might already have on hand, it has a touch of elegance to it, and it celebrates those Mediterranean flavors which always feel right when the weather is warm.

Recipe Round-up (March 2024)

It’s amazing how quickly a month can go by! We’re down in Baja California right now, and balancing work with international travel has been an interesting new challenge. Somehow it seems to have made life move even faster. We are, of course, used to working on the road, but it’s a little bit different when you are someplace as exciting as this. In the states we are generally  fine with parking up someplace nice and working most of the week, only making the effort to get out for adventures on the weekends, but that is simply not enough in Baja. There is just too much to do down here. Continue reading Recipe Round-up (March 2024)

Alright, y’all. Times have been busy finishing the recipes for the second cookbook, so I haven’t been too active on the blog here, but I have still been hard at work over on Food Republic and Chowhound. Here’s a little round-up of some of the

This recipe came from a request by a fellow nomad. It has been incredible to get to know more and more of the nomad community over the past few years, and it makes me so happy to get requests for recipes from other folks on

Albondigas

Albondigas

Albondigas are a typical tapas dish in Spain, little meatballs in a rich, paprika-infused tomato sauce, served alongside a cold beer or glass of wine. They are a perfect appetizer, each bite being a delightful combination of meat, herbs, and spices, all coated in a
