This summer has been hot, hot hot. Fortunately, I’ve been hard at working making recipes for cocktails that will cool you right down. This month’s recipe round-up features four recipes for ice cold drinks which will make even the hottest days a little bit more

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 our fridge space. And that little bin of greens also mandates a whole host of other vegetables and various accoutrements. or else the salads will be incredibly boring. Then, each evening, you must remove each of these from the fridge, one at a time, and chop up a tiny bit, all to make everyone’s least favorite part of dinner. It’s a real bummer in my book. Too much work and too much space for too dull a dish. But then, what if we were to eschew all those fridge-hogging greens and instead make croutons the base of the salad?

This month’s recipe round-up has some seriously good eats in it.

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

In honor of the end of our 3-month Baja excursion, here are a handful of Mexican and Mexican-fusion recipes that I’ve put together in recent months.

Before crossing the border into Baja this past February, I was nervous that I might have trouble doing my recipe development job down there. For this job I’m given a list of ideas each week from which I select one and pitch a recipe. I then fine-tune and shoot the recipe, write the accompanying blog, and submit the final work. Sometimes there is a lot of room for creative license, and other times the recipe ideas are more specific to particular ingredients or techniques. Continue reading Recipe Round-up (May 2024)

Somehow another month has already passed, which means it’s time for another recipe round-up. This month we have a wide selection of dishes and drinks covering a large swath of world cuisines. Whether it’s the creamy, spicy Panang curry tomato bisque which catches your eye,

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

Recipe Round-up (February 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 recipes I’ve developed for them.  I hope you are as excited to try them as I am to share them. Continue reading Recipe Round-up (February 2024)

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
