If you’re like me, you hate wasting anything that you spent your hard earned money on. (Don’t act like you’ve never stuck your hand in an almost empty peanut butter jar to get the last nutty taste!) It feels badish-akward when you do it because you have no idea what you could possibly

Of all the places I’ve been, nowhere has been more culinarily diverse than Vietnam. The country is actually pretty damn big, so every region has an entirely different food culture and dishes to go along with produce locally grown and in season. (Yeah, turns out most people don’t eat food from other countries

You are so busy, I know. We value healthy food, we value shopping local and organic, we value our families, but we have no damn time. Ever. So because of this, I am basically in a love affair with my Instant Pot. You should know this about me by now. It is an

Unless you have lived under a rock for the last decade, you are fully aware of the diet super-fad "gluten free". I think one of the only good things to come out of this way of eating is the resurrection of the spaghetti squash, now available anywhere, and more or less year round.

We live in a beautiful day in age where we have the technology to coax nutrition from Central Oregon soil year round, and Rainshadow Organics has become so good at reading the ground and finding what it will produce. This intuition has led to a winter bounty of roots and hearty greens. One of

Fragrant and formidable in its raw state gives way to a lightly flavored complexity with toothsome texture that

Thanksgiving is always so fun! Family comes together which makes us equally elated and ready to pull our hair out, the air is crisp, and we are primed and ready to pack on the pounds.... Or we're about to, so we might as well embrace it. I mean, we don't even have to think

I love that Rainshadow had so many squash growing in so many places on the farm that they had to conduct The Great Squash Tasting. This may be helpful next year, but for now, I ended up with something oddly gorgeous; dark green with white speckles and stripes and deeply orange flesh. I was

When the days are long and warm, it is nice to have something cool and refreshing. And who doesn't love sushi? You? I don't believe it. Well, for you, we can add grilled steak or chicken. It's still awesome. I started making these poke style burritos when I lived on Maui, and
