  • This feels like a special Mid-Autumn Festival with the four of us in our new house. It’s starting to feel so much like home in almost all ways, but the one thing I hadn’t done until this ☝🏼 was take any food photos! Now it really feels like home. (Even if I didn’t make the mooncakes!) And now I’m even more excited for the work that we’re going to do on the kitchen (more on that soon if you’re interested!!!!) so so soon 😱 Lots of things going on these days but in this season of family, feeling so thankful for ours. 🍂 Happy #中秋节 and #Chuseok to all my friends celebrating tomorrow! Mooncakes are from @keewahla 😋 homemade recipe in the archives! 🥮 OMG JUST DISCOVERED THIS MOONCAKE EMOJI 🥮🥮🥮🥮🥮🥮
  • The blog got a new look last week thanks to the best ever, magical wonderful @meyne_co!!! I’ve been digging around in the sandbox of old posts enjoying how new and shiny they look. This one popped up and I’m pretty sure it’s perfect timing for the decidedly NOT fall weather we’re still having in LA. Cold udon in sesame dipping sauce (three EDIT: lol four years ago! Post-Japan honeymoon! We were babies with no babies!) in the shiny new-but-old blog archives. ✨
  • Not the end of summer yet!!!! I might not actually be making these blueberry hand pies right now (best recipe ever on @kingarthurflour ✨) but it’s the spirit of the thing, I think 🙃 Happy long summer weekend!
  • Work trip ✅ Weekend on the couch ✅ Double chocolate mochi ice cream with black sesame fudge sauce on the blog ✅✅✅ Happy Sunday, friends!! ❤️🍨
  • Where to start with this dish?! It’s from @hettymckinnon’s third beautiful plant-based book #familythecookbook, and it stars stir-fried lettuce, which is at odds with every way you might think to enjoy lettuce (unless you are Chinese 😜) but is so actually magical, the core still crunchy but edges silky, sweet from the quick cook and savory from the soy ginger sauce. It transports me back to my childhood and my mom’s kitchen so instantly. With ginger fried rice, spicy warm yet delicate, and a buttery sunny side up egg, it’s the very best quick lunch, Sunday breakfast, healing meal for an unsettled tummy, everything. I just wrote a whole novel but that’s how much I love Hetty’s recipes—as much about the memory behind the dish and the people it brings together as the food itself. Family is such a gift for our little family learning to eat more plant-based and less meat, and doing so deliciously 🌱✨ Recipe is #ontheblog this morning!
  • Channeling my best @thaliaho on what’s evidently #nationalicecreamday 🍨🍫🥳 Happy Sunday!
  • Last day of maternity leave with this little lovebug. Grateful for these days but will miss them so much! ❤️❤️
  • Two days into summer and it still feels like spring in LA, peaceful and gray in the mornings and sunny in the afternoons. Pretty much my favorite time of year (even if I get confused and keep thinking it’s January) but especially this year, with our babies and B2 at home. And also because we’re moving! Currently packing madly but taking a few minutes to be nostalgic about the tasty things and memories we made in our first home in LA. This springy pea and shiso pasta, from this time of year two years ago, in the blog archives. 🌱
