Over the last two years or so I’ve devoted more time and heart to cooking. One of the most helpful and coolest things I’ve learned is how to make satisfying whole meals using a seemingly disordered mishmash of ingredients into some kind of nameless stew situation. Don’t get me wrong, planned recipes and a set […]
Food & the Soul
A couple of weeks ago, I was dropping off rescued food at Sun Valley Kitchen. As we finished unloading the boxes of produce from Whole Foods, I suddenly saw myself in an outdoor market in Tlaxcala, Mexico. It was where I shopped for food each week for a year. I could smell the food stands, […]

It’s harvest time: what to do with all that excess produce
Yesterday, my refrigerator was a kale monster. Kale on the top shelf. Kale on the bottom shelf. Kale in the drawers and on the door. Kale is a wonderful thing, but there’s only so much dense greenery one woman can eat. Today, all the kale is gone, and it didn’t go to waste thanks to […]
Trailer Pullin’
I moved to Denver to follow my girlfriend, no job, no car, no plan. Just a bike, a room that I had found on Craigslist, and a vague notion that I wanted to work with people and food. Which is how I found myself pedaling off to the Growhaus bright and early one Monday for […]
