Here you’ll find everything I’m preparing in my kitchen - from veggies, to leftovers and pasta. I eat simply, and I cook for one, but love cooking for others. And no matter what, I always pause to plate pretty.
Most of my meals are often times the result of freestyle recipe free ingredient riffing and a trip to the vegetable market. Produce is my passion, and I hope that you won’t simply come here for a recipe - but that you’ll read, cook and create a new story of your own.
I believe there’s power in a stocked pantry and freezer. From traditional Italian dishes to alternative sweets, vegan and vegetarian swaps - there’s something for everyone.
Let this serve as inspiration and let’s eat!
Three more bananas were staring me down in the kitchen this week and I really should be eating them given their benefits when one is PMSing and needs anti bloating and potassium boost for muscle relief.

Read MoreThe other morning I woke up to three very ripe bananas hanging from the hook on the far left of my utility stand in my kitchen. I watched them for days, moving from green to perfectly ripe.

3. Get sand out of crotch and under boobs
On Saturday night my father sent me a photo of my grandmother. This photo captured the essence of who she was as she stood in her element. Photographed standing over a table in the basement of our Brooklyn home, hair uncombed, glasses on, iron, scissors, clothes, and her sewing machine surrounding her - all I had to do was
Read MoreNow, hear me out, waking up and making homemade pancakes isn't everyone's jam nor would I expect it to be. I'm a fool who loves cooking, experimenting, freestyling recipes and bringing them to you. And a lot of folks who are on their own personal journey to cook and feel well may be intimidated by all this cooking I do ... but I don't want you to be. Not for one minute because I've got you.
Read MoreFood is delicious. It's nutritious. There are so many ways and why's to how we feed ourselves. When I see this oatmeal, I do get excited. I know it's good for my body, my mind, and it will keep me full and energized.
When I want a muffin, I will eat it.
When I want a cookie, I will eat it.
But what I've learned about my own eating...
I'm holding a class this evening on breakfast and choices, so I thought it might be helpful to share what I'm eating this morning. Tina To Table is more than a recipe hub, it's a look inside my kitchen and mind - where the hope is that my choices and story with food may serve to inspire you to take a look at how you want to feel, your habits and emotions when it comes to food and your life.
Read MoreThe beauty of toast is that YOU CAN PUT ANYTHING YOU WANT ON IT! Eat it with good butter or olive oil and a lil salt! That reminds me of childhood! Use nut butter only!
