About Me

Greetings. I’m Jessica.

Whether sipping away at a cup of loose-leaf tea, plunging my nose into a glass of cabernet franc, or fiddling with new uses for my rye sourdough starter, I am game for an adventure when it comes to food. Eating and drinking don’t merely sustain us; they are meant for our joy. I am a firm believer in the good reality of this journey called life, and invite you to join me in discovering myriad ways to get lost in wonder. Read more

Lunch today: vegan nachos. Cashew queso and tempeh chorizo. Smoky, creamy, spicy… proof that nachos don’t need animals to taste amazing. This is what #plantbasedsummer looks like. Garden tomatoes, tofu feta, basil, and balsamic on sourdough bread. Embrace right now. Lean into the season. It’s here today and soon gone… Sumptuous breakfast bowl to say farewell to summer: millet, sweet cherries, pistachios, and balsamic vinegar 😍 Loving my rye berry salad today. Tuscan kale, rye berries, tofu feta, white beans, Castelvetrano olives, capers, sundried tomatoes, artichokes, and walnuts. (Don’t forget the squeeze of lemon 🍋😉) Are we, as unique individuals, “meant for” something in particular? If so, are all of us “meant for” something? ... could that thing ever be bad, evil, negative? “We’re both masters of our own destinies and victims of circumstance.” Cinnamon-Chocolate Loaf made with a common kitchen scrap. Can you guess what? Anyone have any good savory oatmeal recipes or ideas? Here’s one we tried the other day—miso, scallions, sesame seeds, black garlic… it was tasty, but more what we’d want to eat for lunch or dinner. Time for a little soul care this rainy afternoon. For me, that means a cup of tea, a biscuit, and probably listening to an episode of @emilypfreeman ‘s The Next Right Thing podcast. Journal and pen nearby, of course, in the event I want to process something.
