About Salts Kitchen

I write. I eat. And I cook. I write about what I cook and eat. I love finding new foods, being inspired to make something I've never made, and most of all I love feeding other people things that they have never tried before. I like disproving myths about food and what it means to eat well, to eat healthy, often on a budget, and for some of us- to eat with a bunch of food allergies (and still eat well!).

The Beat on Beets

Posted on June 6, 2011 by Salts Kitchen

I’m not sure when beets went from “eh, okay if they’re on my plate” to “mmm, let’s grab some beets for dinner.” Beets are abundant here in Central Texas and as much as I love roasted beets and beets on … Continue reading →

Skillet Baby New Potatoes, Green Beans, and Parsley

Posted on May 18, 2011 by Salts Kitchen

I’m not a huge potato fan. Really. I don’t like mashed potatoes and even as a child I felt that they were generally a waste of space on my Thanksgiving plate. Or maybe just the receptacle for the tasty tasty … Continue reading →

World’s Best Peanut Butter Cookies

Posted on May 9, 2011 by Salts Kitchen

No, I don’t mean the best for gluten free, I simply and truly and really mean the best. Better than a Nutter Butter from Grandma’s cupboard, better than Diddy Riese in Westwood, just the best. They also have very few … Continue reading →

Stuffed Crookneck Squash

Posted on May 5, 2011 by Salts Kitchen

I do love a good crookneck. Actually, to be honest, they’re not my favorite. I had a ton in my fridge last week and roasted a few with herbs and that was tasty, but really I wanted something where the … Continue reading →

Nicoise Salad

Posted on May 2, 2011 by Salts Kitchen

So I know this guy who volunteers at Green Gate Farm every Saturday. This week he asked me to make him potato salad for a party so I said, “sure if you bring me the potatoes.” So he did. A … Continue reading →

Roasted Brussels Sprouts everyone will love

Posted on April 29, 2011 by Salts Kitchen

Brussels Sprouts are a food I simply didn’t like until fairly recently. Yes, I’d had them prepared well. Yes, I’d had them straight from the farmers. No, I still did not like them. Then about 4 years ago, my then … Continue reading →

Coconut Custard Tart (with strawberries)

Posted on April 27, 2011 by Salts Kitchen

Passover just ended and what a gluten-free delight that was! Somehow this holiday was the worst to me growing up. Maybe it had something to do with the gefilte fish. Maybe something to do with the prayers that never ended … Continue reading →

Chocolate Pudding to please them all

Posted on April 22, 2011 by Salts Kitchen

The idea of tofu instead of something does NOT sound so appealing to me. Tofu for vegan mayo, tofu to make sauces, tofu to make fake cheese. I don’t know, it just goes along the same lines as the hippy … Continue reading →

Nutella-Cream Cheese Frosting

Posted on April 18, 2011 by Salts Kitchen

I could eat a bowl of this frosting. Well, maybe not really but it was quite tasty. I think it go well on a more delicate cake next time since it’s really rich and creamy. Also, I was concerned at … Continue reading →

Flourless Nutella Cake

Posted on April 18, 2011 by Salts Kitchen

We had a birthday in the office and I volunteer/have been volunteered to be in charge of desserts for such occasions. I wanted to experiment with something new and figured it had been awhile since I’d made a cake. I … Continue reading →
