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!).

Posted on April 8, 2011 by Salts Kitchen

Tomatoes might be my favorite fruit. But a bad tomato, even a slightly mealy tomato, may very well be one of my least favorite textures known to mankind. How often do people say they don’t like tomatoes and then they … Continue reading →

Shopping at the HEB and Making Friends

Posted on April 8, 2011 by Salts Kitchen

Earlier this week I was in the bulk/”healthy” section of the Hancock Center HEB. There was a woman making faces at the Gluten Free section and mumbling to herself. She laughed when she saw me notice her. I minded my … Continue reading →

Artichoke season is short. I mean really short. I was working at the farmers’ market last week and walked passed the artichoke vendor and couldn’t help myself. I knew he would sell out so I asked him to set just … Continue reading →

Oh so spicy sweet potato and beef red curry

Posted on April 5, 2011 by Salts Kitchen

Again with the sweet potatoes you say? Yes, I had a frackin’ ton. I also had opened a can of coconut milk to make some rice pudding, so I decided curry sounded good. Thai Fresh on West Mary street sells … Continue reading →

Sweet, sweet, sweet potato pie

Posted on April 3, 2011 by Salts Kitchen

Not so yammy…I’m not really that clever. There is an existing recipe called Yammy Muffins. However, I didn’t actually use that recipe from The Happy Kitchen/La Cocina Alegre™, I just like the title. I think I’m getting braver. Or sillier. … Continue reading →
