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!).

Wisdom Berry Trail Mix

I love sorbet. I always have. I miss ice cream every so often, but sorbet easily fills this void. Dairy-free ice creams tend to often disappoint, but the naturally dairy-free wonder that is sorbet, never fails to satisfy the need … Continue reading
