WINTER SQUASH SOUP
I’ve officially decided to announce soup season as the days grow shorter and cooler. I love hunkering down on a rainy day with a warm bowl of soup.
Here’s my latest recipe — and keep an eye out for my upcoming soup lineup featuring some of my past favorites.
Recipe:
TROPICAL BANANA BREAD
This Hawaiian-inspired twist on the Amalgam Kitchen classic GF School is In Banana Bread is golden, moist, and full of island vibes. While it makes the perfect after-school snack, here’s the good news—it’s just as much for the grown-ups.
Recipe:
GF HAZELNUT CHOCOLATE SWIRL BANANA MUFFINS
When I tell you people freak out over these muffins, I am absolutely serious, no joke. These moist gluten-free muffins are filled with and topped with a creamy, chocolaty, hazelnutty Nutella-like spread.
Recipe:
BEAN-FREE ZUCCHINI HUMMUS
Zucchini are still in full swing here in Southern California and are plentiful at our farmers’ markets. I’ve always loved classic hummus, but because of my bean intolerance, I end up bloated every time I eat it.
This bean-free version really hits the spot. Even my kids, who adore traditional hummus, love it!

SOUP SEASON
Recipe:
CREAMY ARTICHOKE HEART TAHINI DIP
This dip is heavenly, smooth, and creamy with the umami combination of artichoke hearts, tahini, garlic, lemon and a dash of cumin. It’s that perfect crowd-pleasing potluck dish to bring to a festive gathering.
Recipe:
PERSIAN CUCUMBERS WITH COCONUT LABNE
Given that Southern California is in a heat wave right now and into next week, I decided to post this incredibly hydrating and refreshing cucumber salad. With this salad, you can eat your water. This dish is incredibly easy to make.
AMALGAM FAVORITES
Recipe:
THE ULTIMATE GRAIN FREE BAKER’S BLEND
I recently took a blood food sensitivity and allergy test (the Dunwoody) at my doctor. Here is an at-home version, if you feel you need to know about your potential food allergies. I sadly learned I was allergic or had a high sensitivity to some of my most favorite foods. Coming in first place was almonds, the precious nut I (seriously) eat every day of my life in some form or another.
A Visit With:
OJAI ROOTS
I had the opportunity to visit Rei and Evan at their small, neighborhood farm last fall and was surprised to learn they were around the corner from me in Ojai. Ojai Roots was started by this duo in the height of COVID, a pet project to pass away the time and grow some food.

What does Amalgam Kitchen mean? Quite simply put it is “a blend or mixture” of the way I have learned to cook, the education I have pursued about food and the nutrition and all the ways food and cooking have influenced my life, including what continues to come into my life.
