I'm seeing figs everywhere 💜 here's my rustic version of fig almond cake for #throwbackthursday. I created this cake last year and it's one of my favorites- This lightly sweetened cake is made with a combination of almond & spelt flours, olive oil & dairy-free. Flavored with hints of cinnamon, cardamom, vanilla & Meyer lemon zest. A combination of Kadota & Black Mission figs, sprinkled with crushed slivered almonds adorn the top creating jammy fig pockets in each golden bite. Perfectly suitable for brunch, dessert or with a big mug o'tea. It's on the blog 👆in the archives under desserts & sweet bites. #eatonhealth #goodeggseats #feedfeed #cagrown #foodgawker #eatingwelleats #kitchenbowl #organicmoments #f52grams #bareaders #yahoofood # #cookit #onmytable #foodandwine #howisummer #jbfsummer #buzzfeedfood #imsomartha #bakefeed #thenewhealthy #barneybutter #baking #foodblogfeed #saveur #bonappetit #myallrecipes #tastingtable #thekitchn #realsimple Every summer, my brother in-law's family hand picks figs from their fig tree in Southern California & delivers them to me here in Berkeley. Usually I turn the batch into fig jam but this year I made a sweet & slightly spicy fig chutney. It's made with shallots, crushed red pepper, whole cloves, coriander & mustard seeds which are first toasted and lightly crushed to release their full essence. The yellow coriander seeds look like little specks of ☀️ sunshine against the dark jammy spiced figs. The hubs said it tastes like Christmas but I couldn't wait until then to share it with you. The recipe for this quick chutney comes together in under 40 minutes. Serve it with a cheese platter, on roasted chicken or lamb, with Indian food or eat by the spoonful - it's on the blog now 💜#eatonhealth #kitchenbowl #organicmoments #f52grams #bareaders #yahoofood #nytimesfood #feedfeed #gloobyfood #onmytable #lifeandthyme #esfgrams #howisummer #eattheseasons #f52picnic #buzzfeedfood #foodandwine #eatingwelleats #honestcooking #cagrown #jbfsummer #thekitchn #cookcl #spoonfeed #homecanning #chutney #foodgawker #tastingtable #recipeoftheday #imsomartha I'm using up my leftovers today- I made @ottolenghi's zucchini turkey burgers so I crumbled & mixed them up w/ some leftover red quinoa, dried currants, sprouts and a drizzle of lemon olive oil-yogurt sauce. Top w/ sunflower seeds or nuts of choice & stuff filling to the brim in radicchio cups. Happy Tuesday everyone ❤️#eatonhealth #kitchenbowl #organicmoments #f52grams #bareaders #yahoofood #nytimesfood #feedfeed #howisummer #thenewhealthy #foodandwine #honestcooking #cagrown #goopmake #huffpostetaste #thekitchn #eeeats #buzzfeedfood #jbfsummer #bonappetit #saveur #bbcgoodfood #tastingtable #imsomartha #todayfood #realsimple #progessivenectar #ottolenghi #recipeoftheday #f52picnic I'm honored to be included in the latest edition of @chickpea_mag's International issue out today ❤️Here's my chickpea curry which was a staple in our house growing up. I was such a picky eater that I would constantly tug at my mom's shawls, begging her to make anything but chickpea curry 😆. The irony of it all is that now I make this dish on repeat at home & my kids love it- life seems to come full circle, doesn't it? I would be humbled if you read my story, "A Dish, A World Apart". You can grab a copy( online or pre-print) at www.chickpeamagazine.com. My recipe is included along with other beautiful photographs & recipes from many wonderful contributors. Thank you sweet friends 🙏 #chickpeamagazine #feedfeed #organicmoments #f52grams #bareaders #yahoofood #nytimesfood #cookit #saveur#bonappetit #gloobyfood #esfgrams #tastingtable #buzzfeedfood #jbfsummer #foodandwine #eatingwelleats #eatonhealth #eeeats #thekitchn #goopmake #eattheworld #betterbutter #huffpostetaste #foodtalkindia #honestcooking #thenewhealthy #realsimple #recipeoftheday #thrivemags #eeeats Nothing says summer to me more than mango salsa 💛 I've paired my new favorite @oaktownspice blend, Chile Limon in my favorite sweet -n-spicy salsa. The Chile Limon combines the heat of Turkish Chile and coriander with the tartness of lime juice and sea salt. It tastes fantastic 👌🏼The salsa is also made with cherry tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, jalapeno, lime juice & EVOO. Pair it with chips or serve as a light meal with (veg or fish) just in time for Taco Tuesday. The recipe is on the blog now - link attached in profile or head to Oaktown Spice Shop's website under recipes ❤️#oaktownspiceshop #feedfeed #kitchenbowl #f52grams #bareaders #yahoofood #hbloggers #cookit #thenewhealthy #gloobyfood #onmytable #honestcooking #buzzfeedfood #huffpostetaste #saveur #howisummer #jbfsummer #goopmake #cagrown #recipeoftheday #tacotuesday #meatlessmonday #progressivenectar #cookcl #eattheworld #eatonhealth This salad is the highlight of my summer 😍- it's been on repeat in our house, from @dianahenryfood wonderful book Simple. It's thinly sliced red cabbage & onion, baby spinach, apples, blackberries, caraway & sunflower seeds. The vinaigrette is made with apple cider vinegar, EVOO, mustard & maple syrup. I soak & salt my cabbage for 15 minutes & then drain & dry right before preparing to keep it crunchy. I also soaked the red onions in just a bit of apple cider vinegar to cut the bite of the red onions... hope everyone is having a lovely weekend 💜 #eatonhealth #feedfeed #kitchenbowl #organicmoments #f52grams #bareaders #yahoofood #nytimesfood #esfgrams #cagrown #howisummer #honestcooking #bbcgoodfood #thrivemags #buzzfeedfood #foodandwine #saveur #bonappetit #huffpostetaste #todayfood #jbfsummer #rslove #thekitchn #foodblogfeed #dianahenry #veganfoodshare #thenewhealthy #tastingtable #progressivenectar #telegraphfood It was a weekend of celebrating summer with friends & hanging out by the pool & I had loads of leftover fresh corn. I'm usually a stickler for buying seasonal produce but the hubs came back from the market with a huge butternut squash 🤦🏽‍♀️🙄so I threw it into this corn chowder. The recipe is inspired by the lovely Nancy @urbankitchenapothecary - ever since she made her smoky coconut sweet corn chowder last summer, I have been wanting to make it too. You take cooked corn cobs and make a quick 30 minute broth which is an absolute game changer 🎉. Along w/ the squash, I added carrots & thyme w/ smoked paprika. A little coconut milk & apple cider vinegar at the end for brightness. I puréed about a cup of the soup at the end to thicken it a bit. Garnished w/ fresh parsley & Aleppo pepper. Summer soup is done! #eatonhealth #goodeggseats #kitchenbowl #organicmoments #f52grams #bareaders #yahoofood #feedfeed #cagrown #thrivemags #healthyfoodshare #eatingwelleats #buzzfeedfood#saveur #howisummer #jbfsummer #huffpostetaste #todayfood #veganfoodshare #nowaste #foodblogfeed #cookcl #rslove #thekitchn #foodandwine #cratestyle #progressivenectar #meatlessmonday It's that time of year again to gather basil & make pesto. I make a kitchen sink version with whatever is leftover in my fridge- this week it was basil, a little green onion & parsley. For a nut free version, add pumpkin seeds which also helps to amp up the color here 👏My freezer is stocked full of these little jars of sauces & chutneys which make weeknight cooking so much easier to manage. Do you have any weeknight meal prep tips? Happy #cleanoutthefridgefriday sweet friends 💚 #eatonhealth #kitchenbowl #feedfeed #f52grams #realfoodforkids #cagrown #vitamix #ballcanning #buzzfeedhealth #eatingwelleats #veganfoodshare #healthyfoodshare #thekitchn #cookcl #rslove #thechalkboardeats #huffpostetaste #foodblogfeed #thekitchn #eeeats #jbfsummer #top8free Happy 4th everyone! I'm a little late to the game but I finally got my ice pops out of their molds 😆😆😆- I snuck in some purple cabbage along w/ blueberries & strawberries for the extra hit of fuschia along w/ coconut milk, greek yogurt, vanilla, lemon juice & maple syrup. Hope everyone is enjoying their holiday 💜 🇱🇷#eatonhealth #feedfeed #redwhiteandfood #eatingwelleats #popsicleweek #cagrown #happy4thofjuly #kitchenbowl #f52grams #bareaders #yahoofood #onmytable #eattheseasons #realfoodforkids #foodstand #healthyfoodshare #buzzfeedhealth #thrivemags #howisummer #thekitchn #popsicles #foods4thought #cookcl #goopmake #thechalkboardeats #rslove #redwhiteandblueberry #veganfoodshare #huffpostetaste Here's a little dish from our Eid celebration yesterday at my mom's house...lamb pulao - basmati rice & shredded lamb cooked in a blend of crushed tomatoes, garlic, cilantro chutney mixed with masala spices- cumin, coriander, pepper, & cardamom. Garnished here with dried rose petals & more cilantro. The lamb is marinated in papaya overnight (it acts as a tenderizer) & just melts onto your plate. I'm still working on getting my version up to her classic standards( nothing beats mom's cooking) so hopefully one day I can share the recipe with you all. Hope everyone has a happy Monday ❤ #goodeggseats #feedfeed #kitchenbowl #organicmoments #f52grams #bareaders #yahoofood #nytimesfood #saveur #huffpostetaste #thekitchn #eatingwelleats #howisummer #jbfsummer #todayfood #tastingtable #foodblogfeed #eattheworld #rslove #eattherainbow #goopmake #thechalkboardeats #eatonhealth #beautifulcuisines #cuisinesworld #recipeoftheday #eeeats #eatonhealth Here are my matcha green tea energy bites (from a few posts ago) to celebrate the "almost" first day of summer 💚🎉They are refined sugar free; made with figs, dates, ground ginger, coconut oil & almond flour. The matcha is subtle with just a hint to kickstart your snack time. Recipe is on the blog ☝️Link attached in profile #feedfeed #kitchenbowl #f52grams #bareaders #yahoofood #cookit #gloobyfood #eatingwelleats #healthyfoodshare #buzzfeedfood #thrivemags #tastingtable #foodgawker #howisummer #rslove #thekitchn #foodblogfeed #jadeleafmatcha #healthyaperture #barneybutter #todayfood #eeeats #thechalkboardeats #goopmake #jbfsummer #huffpostetaste #eatonhealth Instead of a bouquet, I treated myself to these edible flowers & greens from the farmer's market yesterday. It's been quite a week & summer is finally here! The salad is thrown together with grated carrots, slivered almonds & fresh peas. It was lightly dressed with a lemon, honey & orange blossom vinaigrette because those flowers are the 🌟of the show. Happy Friday everyone 🌼🌻🌸 #feedfeed #f52farmstand #cagrown #tastingtable #saveur #coloryourplate #kitchenbowl #f52grams #bareaders #yahoofood #nytimesfood #buzzfeedfood #eatprettythings #howisummer #esfgrams #eattheseasons #honestcooking #northberkeleyfarmersmarket #eatingwelleats #thekitchn #eeeats #forkfeed #foodblogfeed #healthyfoodshare #eastbaynosh #eastbayeats #todayfood #jbfsummer #rslove #eatonhealth
