ZA’ATAR SPICE One thing I love about living in Paris are the spice shops. There are many – some great, some good and some not so good. But, every time I walk into a shop, Marc says ” ahhhh… your space mountain!” and I proceed to stay much longer than expected 😉 I can’t deny […]
Introducing Gold&Thyme’s LE BALM Part 3 {Making Le Balm} + GIVEAWAY Since returning home to Paris from the States this fall, I’ve been busy cooking at Chambre Noire, a small natural wine and tapas bar located in the 11th arrondisement.

And as hummus is one of my favorite foods, I decided to start playing around with different recipes. Pea Hummus, Lentil […]
CHIPOTLE LIME CASHEW SAUCE {Vegan} I arrived in California a couple of weeks ago for what I’m calling, ‘a creative hiatus.” The sun is shinning the weather is sweet, (and I’m hoping this weekend) I’ll get to move my dancing feet! Thanks, Bob Marley! Suffice it to say, I’m very happy to be here! I’ve […]
CHOCOLATE CHERRY OATMEAL COOKIES {V + RSF} How many times have I made oatmeal cookies in my lifetime? Many! I grew up making these cookies because they were a family favorite, and because my dad preferred oatmeal raisin to chocolate chip.
