Of Cheeseboards and Thanks

11/24/2019 / Mita / Leave a comment

International trade has made the world a smaller, more accessible place--a concept reflected wonderfully in a cheeseboard. Marcona almonds from Spain, mission figs from California, apricots from Turkey, and cheese, oh the cheese from all over: Italian parmesan, French Brie, Swiss Gruyere, and of course wine soaked toscano. Food globalization is a wonderful thing. For … Continue reading Of Cheeseboards and Thanks

Weekend Words #3 and Almond Butter Bars

10/12/2019 / Mita / Leave a comment

I had a cold recently...and like a good mother, I passed it on to my daughter. Right before she got on a plane. With just her father. For 6 hours. Yikes. Her first cold, in a tin box, 6 miles up in the sky. Well then. A few weeks (months?) ago We went to Pinnacles … Continue reading Weekend Words #3 and Almond Butter Bars

Avocado Fries

07/31/201607/31/2016 / Mita / Leave a comment

As an Arizonan, I feel that I know avocados. I can estimate how long it will take them to ripen, I can figure out whether they'll taste better as guacamole or as just smashed on top of a piece of toast. Give me an avocado, some olive oil, some salt, and a spoon, and I am … Continue reading Avocado Fries

3-Ingredient Coconut Chia Seed Pudding

06/21/201606/21/2016 / Mita / 1 Comment

Some days you just want a dessert you can make in under 4 minutes. Where you don't have to turn on the oven, don't have to worry about anything other than a can opener, scooping, stirring, and tasting. That's what this Coconut Chia Seed Pudding is about. I got this idea from my friend Mary … Continue reading 3-Ingredient Coconut Chia Seed Pudding

Miso Baked Tofu with Shiitake and Bell Pepper Saute

05/30/2016 / Mita / 2 Comments

As a vegetarian, tofu is one of my go-to easy canvases to start a dish with. It's protein-packed, easy, and you can put a lot of different flavors on the tofu to color it. A lot of people say they don't really like tofu, or hate how it tastes; if you think of it as … Continue reading Miso Baked Tofu with Shiitake and Bell Pepper Saute

Spinach and Edamame Patties in under 45 minutes

05/19/2016 / Mita / Leave a comment

I was sitting at home the other day and feeling particularly lazy about dinner. Not to mention I didn't have any fresh vegetables in the fridge that I could make a meal with. So, I turned towards my freezer. I had spinach and edamame. So I pulled them out and made these patties with spinach, edamame, … Continue reading Spinach and Edamame Patties in under 45 minutes

Vanilla Bean Shortbread

05/08/2016 / Mita / Leave a comment

A little while ago I was searching for the perfect meringue recipe and I stumbled on Cupcake Jemma's youtube channel, and after a few videos was hooked. Her videos are pretty short, and show you how to do some pretty cool things, like make a polka-dotted swiss roll. Pretty shnazzy. Anyways, I was looking for … Continue reading Vanilla Bean Shortbread

Under 45 minutes: Shakshuka-inspired Brunch

04/29/201604/29/2016 / Mita / 1 Comment

Brunch is fun...it's even funner if you can make it under 45 minutes. Seriously -- when you have people over, it's key to make sure you're not in the kitchen the whole time. It's part of why I love this recipe, and my easy vanilla-almond baked french toast: fast, delicious, and you won't have to … Continue reading Under 45 minutes: Shakshuka-inspired Brunch

Heirloom Tomato and Burrata Salad

04/27/2016 / Mita / 3 Comments

Spring is upon us! Finally -- colorful foods, sunshine, jogging outside, not wearing seven layers indoor and pounding tea like it's your job! Spring. It's a happy time. Especially for food. You finally can put away those hot soups, stews, chilis, pasta bakes, and switch to delicate salads, with myriad colors and sharp flavors. After … Continue reading Heirloom Tomato and Burrata Salad

Sun-dried tomato and Basil Baked Ricotta

04/25/2016 / Mita / Leave a comment

Date nights are important. I talk to Tyler regularly, but it's not the same as sitting down on a designated day, with some food that's a little different than usual, maybe drinks that are a little different, maybe music that's a little different, and letting conversation wander. Nine years in, and I cannot express the value … Continue reading Sun-dried tomato and Basil Baked Ricotta
