Weekend Links

February 19, 2016 by Asharae 2 Comments

Happy Friday! Today I want to share some fun links for you guys – a few things I’ve been inspired by lately, the cookbook I’m most enjoying at the moment (in case you’re looking to increase your collection), and a few recipes I’m hoping to try soon! Oh and I’ve been catching up on editing personal photos lately and just had to share a few from our adventure in Oregon last summer. Hope you have some adventures of your own planned this weekend – I’d love to hear about them!

Articles and Videos:

These two articles from Darling Magazine. This one about consuming less and creating more. And this one about embracing the winter season and letting it renew you.

Marie Forleo’s video titled How to Not Miss Your Life.

This post from Megan Gilger of The Fresh Exchange about learning to let go during pregnancy.

Cookbook I’m enjoying most right now:

Plenty More by Yotam Ottolenghi. This cookbook is comprised entirely of vegetable recipes. Don’t let that scare you off. These are beautiful, vibrant, seasonal, delicious vegetable recipes. Tim’s parents got the book for me as a Christmas gift and I’ve been reading through it, marking all the recipes I want to make, and it turns out I have a lot of cooking I need to do!

The book itself feels awesome in your hands – it’s got a cushioned cover and is filled with gorgeous photographs. Turns out it’s actually the follow up to his other cookbook Plenty, which is also full of beautiful vegetarian recipes. Ottolenghi is also the author of the cookbook Jerusalem which I’ve seen featured over and over in every bookstore I’ve visited the past couple years.

I highly recommend Plenty More if you’re a vegetarian or if you’re simply looking for more creative, delicious ways to incorporate veggies into your meals.

Recipes I want to try:

These Homemade Poptarts from Cooking Classy. Helloooo childhood.

Birria Puffy Tacos from Half Baked Harvest. Seriously. Everything she makes looks incredible.

Brown Butter Scallops with Parmesan Risotto from Pinch of Yum. This is also one of my favorite food blogs! We’ve enjoyed everything we’ve made from here.

Lemon and Herb Summer Seasoning for French Fries from Paper & Stitch. I know it’s not summer, but I can pretend right?

Salted Caramel Double Chocolate Brownies from Broma Bakery. Holy moly. These are completely drool-worthy.

Hope you have a fun weekend ahead! 

We’re headed up to the mountains for a little getaway with our small group this weekend. We’re in for lots of good food, games, a lake house, and exploring Asheville with some of our favorite people. Cannot. Wait. On the good-food note, I’m making these barbacoa pork tacos for everyone tonight since they were such a big hit at the mountain house last year. If you have to feed a big group, I highly recommend this recipe!

Hello there!

My name is Asharae. I’m a photographer by trade, wife to an amazing man, and mama to three little ones. I am passionate about creating good food, sharing meaningful conversation around the table, trying new things, and encouraging others to do the same.

Welcome to This Wild Season! This is a place for sharing what I’m learning in the kitchen and outside of it. Most of all, it is a challenge to myself and to you to slow down, be present in the moment, and re-learn how to savor food and conversation around the table.
