📋The 2019 « Dirty Dozen » list is out. For those who don’t know what this means, every year, Environmental Working Group runs a myriad of tests on non-organic produce in the US, looking for signs of pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, etc., and publishes a list of the top 12 « offenders » - the non-organic fruits and veggies that test positive for the highest qualities of nasties; the fruits and veggies that you absolutely need to be buying organic, or, better yet, growing yourself. 🌱☺️ Here is the list for 2019: 1) Strawberries 2) spinach 3) Nectarines 4) Apples 5) Peaches 6) Pears 7) Cherries 8) Grapes 9) Celery 10) Tomatoes 11) Sweet Bell Peppers 12) Potatoes 🍓🍏🍐🌱🍑🍒🍇🍅🥔 Some key findings of this year’s report: • A single sample of non-organic strawberries showed 20 different pesticides. • Non-organic spinach samples had 1.8x as much pesticide residue by weight than any other crop (mold & mildew killers/neurotoxicity bug killer/DDT). • Pesticide residues on non-organic pears more than doubled since 2010 Thankfully, it’s not all bad news. The « Clean Fifteen » is also out (the conventional produce with the least toxic residue).

Happy St Patrick’s! 🍀🌷🌤🍻

Gratin dauphinois. 🥔🥛🧀The traditional version from the Alps/Côte d’Azur région calls for sliced potatoes, garlic, butter, and full-fat cream (you know, light and delectable🤣), but today, each French family puts their own twist on it. 🇫🇷 For this version, I switched the cream for cashew milk and used Manchego for the topping. ✨ What I love about this dish is that you can throw it in the oven and forget about it for an hour. ☺️

Purple sweet potato buckwheat ‘oatmeal’ with pistachios, olive oil, honey, & raisins. 🍠💜 Sounds like a combo you’d think of when you’re high as a kite, but I promise, this was a product of pure sobriety (thank our upcoming house move & transitional pantry situation. Totally worked though! 🤣) 🌸🌺🌸🌺 Always inspired by the porridge genius @porridge.l.a.b 🥣

Plant based paleo with this spaghetti squash ‘spaghetti’ & veggie marinara 🍝🍃 Does anyone else feel the daylight saving jet lag?! 😜

❤️In honor of International Women’s Day, allow me to introduce you to the woman who invented badasserie, my great grandmother, Juana. She was born in 1909 in Andalusia, Spain, the eldest of 9 kids, and as the first born daughter, she was denied an education so that she could help raise her siblings. She had an arranged marriage at 17 following her father’s death (he had promised her to her childhood sweetheart, but when he died, her mother decided otherwise and married her off to one of her friend’s sons). Together they had 6 kids, 3 of whom died from infantile diseases within months of being born. My grandmother (who is now 85) is her youngest surviving daughter. When the civil war broke out in Spain, her husband moved the family to Algeria, but he headed back to Spain to fight against Franco. He was killed, and she was left a widow at 26 with her 3 remaining kids. Because she was illiterate, she could only work menial jobs, which she did with a lot of grace and a solid work ethic - selling fish at the market, cleaning wealthy French people’s mansions. When her children moved to France to seek jobs as adults, she followed, and she retired in her 50’s and lived with my grandparents for 40 years. People have trouble imagining how you can live with your parent(s) for that long without quarrels, but she was the sweetest most discreet person. I never witnessed any arguments among them. Because she couldn’t read, she developed an amazing memory for poems and songs, which she could recite by heart all the way up to her peaceful passing at 94, when I was 20. She and I were very close, and when I was in high school, I would stop by to see her almost every day. I never once heard her complain about the hand she was dealt in her earlier life. Her later years were much happier, and she would always say that for everything she ever lacked or lost in love, God made it up to her in family. A true glass-half-full person, who was grateful for every good moment. I miss her every day, but am also so grateful to have known her and to be so close with my grandmother, her daughter. ❤️ Happy International Women’s Day (photo - she and I, South of France, 1983).
