Winter farmers markets are in full swing, and we are transitioning from squashes and apples to a wide variety of root vegetables. One of these winter vegetables is the humble sunchoke, which I love to buy whenever I see it at the winter market. And…
I find that you either love or hate brussels sprouts, and that likely stems from how your parents cooked them. If your parents steamed or boiled the sprouts, you’re probably in the hate camp. But, if you were lucky enough to have roasted brussels sprouts,…
I’m always on the search for more savory cranberry recipes, especially if there’s no added sugar in the recipe. This can be difficult, though, because it can be hard to balance the super tart cranberries without adding some kind of sweetener. My Sausage and Cranberry…
There’s no doubt that winter is around the corner. There’s snow on the ground (in Alaska, anyway), and the nights are getting longer and longer. Which means, soup season is officially back! I mean, I’d eat soup year round, but truly, there’s nothing better than…

Sunchokes are a pretty unique-looking vegetable. In fact, while I was at the farmers market picking these up, a woman asked me, “what do you do with them?” The easy answer? Treat them like you would a potato. This simple Whole30 sunchoke hash is great…
This creamy, Whole30 beet soup is my twist on borscht, a classic Eastern European beet soup. I add tahini to my recipe to give this beet soup a nutty background flavor and creamy texture. Finish it off with a ton of fresh herbs, and you’ve…
I don’t like wasting food (or money), so I love having an assortment of recipes that use up all the odds and ends. Making hash browns is a versatile method to use up leftovers of many different vegetables. Recently, I’ve been testing a bunch of…
