Ok, admittedly, this is kind of a mouthful of a recipe title, and you might be thinking: wow, sourdough and whole wheat and oatmeal in a pancake seems like kind of a lot. Full disclosure: these are kind of a lot. They are hearty and serious, especially when […]
Seattle’s been weird this week; wildfire smoke clogging the city, everything hazy and unclear. I just got back from a fun little mini-holiday, both here and in Montana, following Pearl Jam (my long-standing beloved and most favorite band ever) for a few shows. It was […]
I am not vegan (as you may have been able to discern from this blog), but when I am feeling particularly stodgy and not quite at my optimal plumpness, I often switch to a hybrid Vegan Before 6 plan. If you haven’t heard of it, […]
I lived in Switzerland for about three years right after college. As you can imagine, it was The Greatest. Pretty much everything about it was great, and one of the best parts was having weekend adventures all over the place, especially into the magnificent-cannot-be-overstated-how-magnificent Swiss […]

Bananas rarely last long enough in our household for me to make banana bread. More often, they’ve been gobbled up for an after run or after school snack, or I’ve frozen them to be tossed into smoothies. This past week, I bought a bunch of […]
Steel cut oatmeal is the best kind of oatmeal. I’ll fight you on it. I like regular rolled oats just fine, but the nubby little grains making up a bowl of warm, milky steel cut oats make a morning special. I didn’t grow up eating […]
Store-bought granola almost always underwhelms. It’s often doctored up with things that I do not want in my breakfast (peanuts, coconut, chocolate, dried tropical fruits), or so sweet it overwhelms any other flavors at breakfast. I also find much of it to be chalky, almost […]
