everyday sage: snack time

http://everydaysage.blogspot.com/2014/01/snack-time.html

Flavors and musings from my every day. Tuesday, January 28, 2014. Oh my It has been so very long since I have visited with you. The last few months have been very busy. When we left SF for the mountains of Tahoe, I took at job at a major ski resort to open and run two new food trucks. Even with our lack of snow so far this year, I have been busy with repairs, training my team, and operating the trucks. To wrap up and carry as my snack. 1 1/2 cups shredded carrots (about 4-5 medium sized carrots). Simple ...

everyday sage: August 2013

http://everydaysage.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html

Flavors and musings from my every day. Wednesday, August 28, 2013. I am not often one to sit long enough for a movie. But when in Central Oregon with my family, sometimes a movie is the perfect way to come together in the evening. We pick a DVD from the small library beside the TV, scoop up some ice cream, and gather on the couches with dogs at our feet. One movie we have watched. Way too many times is Talladega Nights. It's a fair compromise, no? Makes about 8 - 8" crepes). 1/4 cup garbanzo bean flour.

everyday sage: annibirthday surprises

http://everydaysage.blogspot.com/2013/09/annibirthday-surprises.html

Flavors and musings from my every day. Wednesday, September 11, 2013. I'm not very good at keeping secrets. But for the last month or so, I have had to keep mum to my Mom, someone I talk with nearly every day. You see, my sister and I decided to throw our parents a little party. They have been married 35 years, which it certainly reason enough to celebrate, but they also had milestone birthdays this summer. So we combined it all in one big surprise "annibirthday" party. But somehow, we pulled it off.

everyday sage: cilantro chimichurri

http://everydaysage.blogspot.com/2013/11/cilantro-chimichurri.html

Flavors and musings from my every day. Sunday, November 10, 2013. But that is beside the point. My topping of choice lately, is cilantro chimichurri. It has all of the same sorts of flavors ketchup does (tangy, sweet, salty, a bit spicy), but with a totally different, more grown-up take. Definitely not a classic chimichurri (don't tell my Argentine friends! But still really delicious. I recommend making some and keeping it in the fridge, just like you might ketchup: ready to top everything! Simple templa...

everyday sage: it's still fig season

http://everydaysage.blogspot.com/2013/09/its-still-fig-season.html

Flavors and musings from my every day. Wednesday, September 4, 2013. It's still fig season. School is starting. The yellow school buses have come out of hibernation. The leaves are starting to fall. It is finally getting warm in SF. All signs that summer is coming to an end. This last weekend, as we said our goodbyes to summer in the annual Labor Day holiday rituals, my sweetie and I were asked to participate in a bake sale. My first thought was, "Figs! What can I do with figs? Makes 16- 2" squares.

everyday sage: September 2013

http://everydaysage.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html

Flavors and musings from my every day. Wednesday, September 25, 2013. As promised, I am back with some recipes from our little party a couple weeks ago. Now, I am not new to cooking for a crowd in a home kitchen (or professional one, for that matter, but there are fast dishwashers and fancy tools and generally more space in a professional kitchen), but it can be daunting to me too. Because of our our picnic theme and our limited time to prepare these items, we kept the food really simple. But sometim...

everyday sage: goal of the century

http://everydaysage.blogspot.com/2013/06/goal-of-century.html

Flavors and musings from my every day. Wednesday, June 5, 2013. Goal of the century. When the new year began, I created a list of goals for 2013; " A year of big ideas. I called it. This list is not long, but it contains things like "practice Spanish" (which I am not so good at remembering to do! It; one of those ideas that pop around in my head for years, but I have a hard time acting upon. Why was I so scared? Able to more-or-less stick to my training plan, I learned about what to eat on long rides (NO...

everyday sage: power in change

http://everydaysage.blogspot.com/2013/10/power-in-change.html

Flavors and musings from my every day. Monday, October 21, 2013. As a school-girl, I loved the fall. New pencils and notebooks ready to be put to use, new teachers and classrooms, a wide-open year of learning ahead. Even the air in the fall smells new, so crisp and clean. I loved that the changing school year brought with it so much opportunity. And while you are at it, you may as well make it amazing. The clean slate and jumping board are ready for you. In this new position, I will be doing something I ...

everyday sage: June 2013

http://everydaysage.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html

Flavors and musings from my every day. Sunday, June 30, 2013. I've never been a fan of leftovers. So much so that I once had an agreement with a friend that lived down the street: I would leave my leftovers from the night before at his doorstep as I passed by on my commute most mornings. In return, he would come over at least once a week for dinner for which he bought the ingredients (and brought the wine - it's important to mention that! Saute some vegetables and combine with the flavorful sauces. Be cr...
