  • 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. 🌱
  • Clara’s 100 days and baptism!!!! So grateful for 100 days of this chubby, sunshiney, easygoing angel girl of ours who chats and smiles all day, sleeps through her baptism, and doesn’t know what crying is (unless presented with a bottle). My sweet girl, I’m in love with you. We are so lucky to be your parents. ❤️
  • Still happily baking bread in this cool late spring we’re having in LA—especially when that bread is no-knead and, oh yeah, is stuffed with pork sung!!!!!!!! Did you eat pork sung (aka curiosity of fluffy meat cotton candy) when you were a kid? I was obsessed. In a crusty boule instead of on soft bakery buns or in congee, it turns quietly savory, lacing the bread with a subtle soy saltiness and somehow a bit of sweetness too. A rainy day project that requires barely 5 minutes of hands on time, my favorite kind. The recipe is #ontheblog (that old thing) this morning. ✌🏼
  • Happy start to potato salad season!!! 😛 Potatoes with sugar snaps, pickled shallots and dill in the blog archives. Hope you’re having sunny second Saturdays ☀️
