In Erika's Kitchen

Seared eggplant and tofu with chili crisp 🍆 "Are you going to post that soon?" asked my coworker when I told her what I'd made for lunch. The silver lining of the pandemic - homemade hot lunch.

Why yes, I did swirl some pistachio butter into these fudgy brownies. And yes, they were delicious!

First caprese salad from the summer garden. Definitely not the last. The tomatoes are Yukon Quest, a cold-tolerant dwarf determinate variety perfect for the Santa Monica fog belt.

Always a good night for chicken piccata 🍋🍗
