Going through my Instagram feed and I think I might need an intervention, guys. It all started with a mole fest/dinner/potluck with friends–old and new–from the Santa Monica Farmers Market and ever since, I’ve been churning out Mexican food like an OG abuela. On a serious kick. It could also have something to do with the […]
Got my knives sharpened and tested them out on every unsuspecting fruit and vegetable in sight. Picnicked at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery for a viewing of American Psycho. And yes, brunch–the most important meal of the day. Now I leave you with a recipe for spicy pickled carrots, which we enjoyed both at the […]
I made this food collage in honor of Brock’s birthday. I quizzed him on his five favorite foods and of course he listed 20! It’s a tough question to answer, I know. I narrowed the list down to spicy tuna (especially on crispy rice), corn (he’s from Kansas), hamachi sashimi (the […]
I adore sweet and savory combinations. Here’s the proof. Miso powder sprinkled over coffee-caramel popcorn. I also crumbled some up over a banana split sundae. I think it would make an excellent topping for peanut butter frozen yogurt or black sesame ice cream too.
I regularly devour popcorn by the handful/shovelful (shovel hands!), so I’m a wee bit enthusiastic about making popcorn seasonings. Can I be a professional popcorn seasoning taste-tester when I grow up? This is what we have going on in Julie’s Kitchen today: Pulverized Sriracha powder + nutritional yeast Pulverized white miso powder + furikake + […]
I’m a huge fan of nibbling and trying lots of different bites and flavors. I’m also a huge fan of dinner parties, especially ones that aren’t too fussy. Dun-da-dun-dun… Enter the tapas party. Put out some nuts, crackers, chips, cheeses, anchovies, pickles, charcuterie, and a pitcher or two of sangria and you’ve got […]
I grew up climbing trees and running through cherry orchards, all in a town famous for asparagus (hence, the slight obsession), yet Mother Nature still continues to impress and inspire. For anybody that thinks of LA as a concrete jungle, think again. These lovelies, with their vibrant colors and intricate shapes, are from the […]
THROWDOWN Unless we’re playing flip cup or Scrabble or fantasy football, competitive isn’t exactly the word I would use to describe myself. I’m way too laid back for that kind of intensity, but if the occasion should arise, you’ll see a whole different side of me. So when Jamie’s dad challenged me to a potsticker […]
Charmoula Shrimp Skewers On a recent catering event, Dylan and I totally fell in love with Susan's charmoula marinade. We were downright enthusiastic, threatening to eat it by the spoonful (okay, that was mostly Dylan). Herby, punchy and especially delicious on seafood, it came to mind immediately when I found out one of my dinner […]
