happy new year

Happy New Year! Sorry for being absent for so long. I took an unintentional holiday blogging break. We spent some time with our families in gold rush country, where there’s no cell phone reception. We were able to spend time together with minimal distractions. We cooked, we ate, we drank wine, we chatted and we even built a snow man! It was really nice. Indyanna had a blast of course, with 4 grandparents, 3 uncles & an aunt all fighting over playing with her.

While they all fought over the baby, I made some delicious recipes that I look forward to sharing with you all – persimmon cobbler, delicata squash & chorizo hash & duck-fat french fries.

Here are some photos from the last couple of weeks…

    I can imagine Indyanna would have loved the attention and the atmosphere of family altogether. There’s nothing like it. Lovely photos.
    I just started eating paleo about a month ago with a few slip ups on Christmas day so I am keen to see what you will be cooking on your blog.

    Hi Nick! I’ll try to get the recipe up this week. But, it was super simple – I roasted 2 cups of squash, 1 cup of mushrooms, 1/2 lb. chorizo without the casing. Then put 2 fried eggs on top, plus parsley for garnish!
