After several years in the big city, I moved to a cabin in the woods of Northern California. Inspired by local ingredients I create simple, beautiful, healthy recipes anyone can make.

Pressing little clementine “cuties” into cake batter before baking makes it just a little more fun! You can use any basic cake recipe, but I recommend something citrussy like this Grapefruit Yogurt Cake from Smitten Kitchen. In lieu of a glaze, I drizzled mine with honey. Enjoy!

It was so fun to share this dish on A Cup of Jo last week and I’m excited to share it with you now! It’s one of the prettiest, simplest salads I know. You wouldn’t necessarily think red onion goes with citrus but it does! They really compliment each other, in my opinion- especially with the herbs and some sea salt. The citrus juices combine with the olive oil naturally on the plate to make a lovely dressing. Enjoy! Photos, recipe and artwork by Erin Gleeson for The Forest Feast

Matzo Brei is a traditional Jewish dish using eggs and matzo crackers  and is made during Passover, which is this week. It’s often sweet with cinnamon and sugar but I made a savory version with scallions (and some green garlic that came in the CSA box). Love to hear your favorite matzo brie recipes…Happy Passover!

For those of you planning your menu for Passover - or for anyone looking for a quick, tasty appetizer idea- here’s a fun and colorful twist on the traditional Jewish dish, haroset. Haroset is usually a blend of fruit and nuts made during Passover (which starts a week from today). Sometimes chunky, sometimes smooth, it’s often served on matzoh crackers. I replaced the usual apple with beets to rosy things up! It’s a sweet nutty spread, so the radishes on top add a nice bitter balance. For more Passover menu ideas, check out the Passover Seder we hosted at our cabin in the woods last year. By Erin Gleeson for The Forest Feast
