Homemade Thai Chili Sauce

My little sister and fellow Cooking Spot contributor Nathalia of Creatively Conscious was married this fall in the loveliest wedding ceremony up in the pine-dotted Sierra.  She and her husband Loren then took off for an epic honeymoon of honeymoons – to travel the world together for 7 months hand-in-hand. It really doesn’t get any more lovely or romantic than that.

It has been like a dream to be able to follow their adventures through their Instagram “Lov3_is_Key” and their Blog, LoveIsKey.net.  But, better than that, Loren and Nathalia invited family members to join them along the way.  I poured over their itinerary with my husband’s large atlas spread on the floor in front of me, my calendar to the right and my computer to my left, tracing what would be their epic journey, trying to decide where in the world would we fly off to see them, fantasizing about all the wonderful places, the amazing food, the cultures, and the people one would meet.  I knew a few things for certain, I wanted to be with my sister for a holiday, traveling can be hard and so can being so far away from your family so this was a priority. If I could make at least one holiday feel a little bit like home, I would have achieved my goal.  Also I wanted to go somewhere new, somewhere I thought I would never get a chance in my lifetime to visit, an adventure to top all adventures.

Easy Paleo Crock Pot Chicken

February 16, 2015 By Rebekah Stark 2 Comments

My husband and I were recently given 28 days to move 1200 miles away . . . 28 days to find a house 1200 miles away, pack our current house, sell our current house, and then get our things to the new house 1200 miles away. I refused to live off fast food, especially since just 3 days before we accepted this challenge I had decided to do a whole 30. I know I’m a little crazy, and no, it didn’t go exactly as planned. But here’s a recipe that helped save time, stress, and me from the drive thru.

Quick Pickled Vegetables

Thank goodness for my friends. Really and truly, I get so much inspiration for my blog Marcella Rose’s from the fantastic meals and moments I spend with my girlfriends. It’s been hard for me since I moved away from New York and the strong group of fabulous women that I was lucky enough to call my friends.

The older I get the harder, it is to find true friends. I am a bit of a quirky girl so for me that instant shock of connection when I meet, as Anne of Green Gables would say a, “Bosom Buddy” or a “Kindred Spirit”, is a rare thing. I have been on the search since I arrived in Southern Oregon and then it happened. I found her, a girl with style, class, and she can cook too! It’s like magic to find someone who is not only hilarious, but also has similar interests.

Shaved Brussel Sprouts Fruit Salad

January 9, 2015 By Rebekah Stark 1 Comment

A new year brings resolutions of good health, exercise, and clean eating. The gyms are packed, Target is out of yoga pants, and the grocery stores are out of vegetables. That leads us to brussel sprouts . . .

The vegetable has a sweet, almost nutty flavor, and are are surprisingly high in protein for a green vegetable Just one serving meets your needs for vitamin C and vitamin K for the day. That’s a win!

If you have to eat good then it should taste good, too. That’s really the only way those resolutions will hold on through February, right? This shaved brussel sprouts salad has apples, pears and cranberries mixed in and is tossed in a mustard dressing. Full of goodness and rich flavors remnant of fall, but still fresh and crisp for the dead of winter.
