Recipe:
BROCCOLI SWEET POTATO FRITTERS
I love a good fritter. I already have a broccoli fritter on the site, and while this version is similar, I decided to put a new spin on it—because I’m such a fan of both fritters and broccoli. This one features another of my favorite vegetables: the sweet potato, making it even more nutritious.
Recipe:
CURRIED CAULIFLOWER SOUP WITH CORIANDER CRUNCH
I learned to cook by making soups, and I will always love soup. Although we have moved into spring, the cool evenings still warrant a cozy bowl. In California, cauliflower is still widely available at the farmers market and will peak in April, so there is still time to enjoy this velvety, perfectly spiced soup topped with my latest obsession: Coriander Crunch.
Recipe:
CRANBERRY WALNUT MUFFINS
These wholesome muffins highlight the best of fall spices and ingredients. Walnuts and cranberries shine as the stars of this anytime Paleo treat — perfect at the start of your day with a cup of coffee, as a mid-morning snack, or an afternoon indulgence with tea.
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!

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.
