Grilled Carrots with Creamy Green Sauce

Grilled Carrots

Yep, you read that right we are grilling carrots today at The Jazzed Kitchen. We had a 5lb bag of carrots that was on the verge of going bad the other day and after two rounds of bone broth we still had about 2lbs of that bag left. Gabe is […]

Broccoli, grape, walnut, and feta salad

Broccoli Salad

When the two of us started dating I was finishing up college, Gabe was about to start paramedic school, and we were both pretty dang broke. Like, laughably broke. We didn’t have money to go out to eat every time we hung out so instead we cooked most meals at […]

Grilled Tri Tip

Grilled Tri-Tip

There’s an old stagecoach stop in the hills above Santa Barbara called Cold Springs Tavern that serves the best smoked tri-tip sandwiches. The meat is perfectly cooked and mouthwateringly juicy. We love these sandwiches so much that we drug our families out of bed pretty early the day after our […]

Lemon Blueberry Muffins

Lemon Blueberry Muffins

Who out there grew up eating Jiff blueberry muffins from the box? They were my absolute favorite muffins when I was a kid and I knew it was going to be a good day when I’d come into the kitchen and see the blue box sitting on the counter. The […]

Watermelon, cucumber, tomato, and red onion salad

Watermelon Salad

I will be the first to admit that I am not a huge fan of watermelon. Someone once asked me, while they were shoving their face full of the red mush, if there was anything better than watermelon on a hot summer day. Um, ya, there’s a dozen other things […]

Chocolate Collagen Zucchini Muffins out of the oven

Chocolate Collagen Zucchini Muffins

When you look up the word Funcle* in the dictionary I’m pretty sure it just says “Gabe”. Our nieces and nephew are so obsessed with him that everything and everyone fades away into the background as soon as he walks in the room. He’s the cool firefighter and the one […]

Grilled chicken, pineapple salsa, and cabbage on a bed of kale

Chicken and Pineapple Salsa Salad

When I was in grad school I used to stop at this restaurant before class to get the best steak salad. It had spicy cashews, pineapple, and jicama and it.was.ah-mazing! I went twice a week for a month and spent an hour before class savoring the salad and completing the […]
