Braised Red Cabbage with Goldenberries
You can trust that it came as quite the surprise to me when I asked my S.O., Oliver, for a holiday dish request and his answer was… “cabbage.” In all fairness, he’s fully German, with culinarily-gifted grandparents that have spoiled his tastebuds with decades of wholesome, comfort food know-how. As a cabbage lover myself, I […]
Last-minute DIY superfoodie gifts
When it comes to holiday gifting, there’s pretty much two types of people: those that have their shopping system down PAT (“You mean you don’t have your list checked off by December?”), and those that are nervously checking the last day companies offer guaranteed shipping as we speak. For those of us in the latter […]
Black Lentils with Brussels & Gojis

This simple soup is a great example of their flavor flexibility, where they […]
