Hi friends just a little note to say 👋- our hea Hi friends just a little note to say 👋- our hearts have been heavy with all that is going on in the world & now our beloved state ablaze with all of these crazy wildfires. . If you can, support your local farms by visiting your farmers markets today( many are still open) @aim_farmers_markets @urbanvillage has more info on their feeds. And here is an article that has places to donate for wildfire relief https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.mercurynews.com/2020/08/21/northern-california-wildfires-how-to-help-fire-victims-and-fire-fighters/amp/ . These dry farm tomatoes are from @tomaterofarm & my absolute favorite (pic taken a few years back for a big canning project) We roasted some the other night & turned into a red sauce and have just been eating the rest- they seriously taste like candy & are such a treat if you can find them 💯 . Stay safe everyone ❤️ . . #myberkeleykitchen #feedfeed #farmersmarketinspo #farmersmarket #farmtotable #dryfarmtomatoes #tomatoes #cagrown #tomaterofarm #realfood #plantbased #uvfmtotable
I bring this salad back every summer .. It’s a g I bring this salad back every summer .. It’s a great recipe from @dianahenryfood cookbook #simple . . It has all of my favorite things...thinly sliced red onion, baby spinach, apples, blackberries, caraway & sunflower seeds. It’s also so pretty to look at 😃 . The vinaigrette is made with apple cider vinegar, EVOO, mustard & maple syrup. I pre-soak the red onion a bit to cut the bite of raw red onion 👌🏼Salads never have to be boring 💜 . #myberkeleykitchen #feedfeed #salads #healthyeating #thecookfeed #taste #dianahenrysimple #driscolls #driscollsberries #eatingwell #healthyfoodshare #fruitsalad #summersalads #berrytogether #allergyfriendlyfood
Apparently it’s #nationalicecreamday so here’s Apparently it’s #nationalicecreamday so here’s my contribution 😃 . I’ve made ice cream before & love doing it when I have the time but luckily for us there are many #allergyfriendly brands out there making yummy ice cream. This one is from @so_delicious coconut ice cream. . I’ve topped it with a homemade blueberry cardamom sauce that takes a few minutes to throw together & makes any store bought ice cream even sweeter. Recipe link in my profile 👆🏽💙. . #myberkeleykitchen #feedfeed #icecream #thekitchn #dessert #sweettreats #sodelicious #summertreat #bombesquad #imsomartha #nobakedessert #dairyfree #nationalicecreammonth #nutfree #chowhound

Yesterday we drove out to the country to go look a Yesterday we drove out to the country to go look at sunflowers.. this is what you do when you are trying to stay safe & can’t do much else 😃 . We were able to visit a private farm so it was empty and we had a picnic lunch in the ☀️ . Even in the quiet, you can still hear some monkey calling for mom 😳 . Did you know that sunflowers follow the arc of the sun even on cloudy and rainy days, and then, reposition themselves during the night to face East? It’s a beautiful symbol of hope, resilience & love 🌼🌟💛 . Have a happy & safe 4th everyone.. . #myberkeleykitchen #sunflowers #hope #farmtotable #flowers #flowerfarm #summertime #4thofjuly #thehappynow #beautifulmoments #momlife #davis #daviscalifornia #visitdavis #sunflowers🌻 #sunflowerfield
Every summer I make my mom’s #nocook easy recipe Every summer I make my mom’s #nocook easy recipe for mango achaar aka spicy mango pickle. Recipe is on the blog with a story of what achaar means to me☝️ . My grandfather was the achaar maker in our family. I didn’t get to spend much time with him because he lived in Pakistan but I was lucky to spend a summer there when I was 12. His love for mango ran deep. . . When he died my mom started pickling as a way to keep his memory alive 👏. You can make achaar out of any fruit or veg which is cut up & dunked in a brine of oil & vinegar & mixed w/ spices & left to ferment for a few days.. . This mango version is more like a fermented chutney. If you can’t get to the fireworks this 4th, make this & bring it to you 😃💥🔥 🧡 #top8free, #vegan . . #myberkeleykitchen #feedfeed #achar #thecookfeed #preservedgoods #achaar #foodandwine #goopmake #bombesquad #topchef #betterbutter #desifood #eattheworld #glutenfree #tastecooking #buzzfeedhealth #guthealth #mango
