Tina To Table

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.
Eating for love, a variety of flavor, and with a whole foods mindset is what helped me lose over 150 lbs on my own and keep it off for the last 25 years.
Most of my meals are often times the result of freestyle recipe free ingredient riffing and a trip to the market. Produce and protein are 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 that there is power in a stocked pantry and freezer. There is power in cooking our own food.
From traditional Italian dishes, and meals of my childhood, to alternative sweets, vegan and vegetarian swaps— there’s something for everyone.
Let this serve as inspiration and let’s eat for health!

Mixed Seafood Two Ways: A Quick Dinner Fix

Stepping into a fish market will always prove to be somewhat of a time machine. No matter where I’ve lived or traveled, the fish market is always loud, as loud as crashing waves that pound the sand on the beach with fury. The voices of men that can carry for miles and, that, realistically, do not need to be that loud in a small store. Salumeria’s work the same way. I think men who play with fish and meat are in a similar club, lots of bravado, knife skills and the moving of heavy protein, objects and machinery. I’m kind of also really into it. Men who cook and use their hands.

The Day the Sweet Potato Didn't Die

Roasting a sweet potato brings out its deep coloring and its candy like, caramel like syrup. The residue left on the foil after its bake is tacky to the touch; a sweet syrup that is only revealed when it is properly loved. Yesterday’s roasted sweet potatoes became tonights veggie taco dinner with an egg on top. The sweet potato, much like me, is simply awaiting proper love and care.
