Tonight’s dinner: green lentils with caramelized carrots and onions topped with fresh herbs, feta, and toasted pumpkin seeds :)
Spring is almost here 🌷
Yesterday I filled our bird feeders and the birds returned to our garden - mourning doves, robins, chickadees, nuthatches, a bluebird, and a woodpecker.
There’s still a lot of snow, but I’m daydreaming about what I’ll be planting in the next couple months. Soon the forsythia, lilacs, and peonies will be blooming.🪻
This vlog has of some of my favorite springtime memories. I’ll never forget the time that finches built their nest in a hanging planter on our porch ☺️

One of my best friends is staying with us this week ☺️
I made a simple lunch for us with rainbow chard and eggs from my mom’s hens.
This morning I put bird seed in our feeders and all at once at least ten birds arrived! It was fun to watch them while I cooked. Will try to take photos of them sometime soon :)

Really excited about this one! :)

Cozy cooking vlog :)
I'm making sriracha glazed salmon, stovetop grilled zucchini, and roasted broccoli 🥦
Tips for grilling zucchini:
1. Cut zucchini into 1/2 inch thick wedges. If the slices are too thin they may become mushy when grilled.
2. Coat with olive oil and season them well (I used za’atar for this recipe)
3. Preheat the grill and, once you’ve placed them, don’t touch them until they are ready to flip. When they are ready they will release more easily from the pan.
4. Cook until the zucchini is tender but still holds its shape when lifted.

Leftovers for lunch 🍋
I reheated some roasted broccoli and chicken meatballs and added half an avocado. I topped the bowl with olive oil, lemon juice, lots of freshly grated Parmesan, pistachios, and red pepper flakes :)

Highlight of today was making lunch 🥗
The kitchen was filled with white light reflecting off of the snow outside. I put on my headphones and had a long call with my mom while I cooked :)

Today’s lunch: quinoa, kale salad, and crispy golden chicken
The first meal I cooked after getting home from weeks of travel :)
I cooked the quinoa in chicken broth and seasoned it with garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, and salt and pepper.
I sliced up the kale into thin ribbons and mixed it with a simple balsamic vinaigrette. I also added grated cheese. Since I didn’t have parm, I used Merlot BellaVitano cheese.
I pounded flat slices of chicken breast, coated them in panko, and fried them in olive oil until crispy and golden. I added some roasted pumpkin seeds as a garnish for a little extra crunch :)

Winter camping in a Jeep Rubicon 🏜️
My first time using a rooftop tent. I was able to set it up all by myself :) This was the most unpopulated campsite I’ve ever stayed at. The only sounds in the desert were occasional bird calls and planes flying overhead.
The camp was right beside a giant canyon which looked like a void at night. The stars were beautiful :)

Mini vlog: Sunrise + coffee at Zion National Park 🌄
Got up extra early to hike the Canyon Overlook Trail. I brought my coffee with me to drink in the balmy morning air at the summit. The rising sun created a dazzling display of color in the canyon.
Thinking about how crucial it is to respect and protect these places and support those who work there.
Grateful and humbled to have experienced this :)

Living on the road in this Jeep Rubicon. So impressed with what this vehicle can do!

A simple and cozy winter brunch ❄️
Hosted my family and created a very simple snack board for them. I made smoked salmon dip and served it with English muffins. I added different cheeses, apples, and olives to the board for a mix of sweet and salty. I also baked banana bread muffins (not pictured). I added more color to the table with some beautiful leafy orange citrus 🍊

How to poach an egg 🍳
A technique for delicious eggs that can be added to many dishes :) This process can take some practice, but it’s worth it! 💜
1. Bring water to a gentle boil
2. Add a splash of white vinegar
3. With heat on medium, add your egg close to the surface of the water
4. Boil on medium heat until egg white solidifies but the yolk remains runny. You can test this by lifting the egg gently with a slotted spoon.
5. Remove egg from water using a slotted spoon, add seasonings, and enjoy :)

Pizza-inspired Shakshouka
A dish I made while traveling :) I like how cooking in a new kitchen challenges me to use ingredients differently.
1 tbsp olive oil
1 small jar of pizza sauce (I used a Raos 12.3oz pizza sauce jar)
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 tbsp chopped fresh oregano (or dried oregano)
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
1/4 cup shredded mild flavored cheese
4-6 Eggs
Feta cheese
Salt and pepper to taste
1. In a stovetop pan add olive oil, pizza sauce, and 1/4 cup water. Cook on medium high heat until sauce bubbles and starts to reduce.
2. Add herbs and seasonings and cook on medium heat for 2 minutes.
3. Remove from heat and add cheese, stirring until melted.
4. Crack eggs carefully on top and then bring back onto heat. Season eggs with salt and pepper. Put a lid on the pan and cook on medium heat, checking eggs for preferred doneness frequently to prevent overcooking.
5. Top with crumbled feta cheese. Best served hot with bread to dip into the sauce :)

A super easy dinner idea: spicy chicken sausage, garlic lemon sautéed kale, and mashed potatoes
Condensed recipe below :)
1. Remove sausage from its casing and cook on medium high heat with a little olive oil until crispy.
2. Slice kale thinly and sauté with olive oil and garlic. Season with salt and pepper. Be careful not to overcook. Remove from heat and add a drizzle of lemon.
3. Boil potatoes until they can be easily pierced with a fork and drain. Mash and add warm whole milk, butter, and salt and pepper to taste. Fresh herbs would be a fun addition as well :)

Golden hour at Zion National Park
I highly recommend visiting national parks in winter when possible. The roads are quiet and the air is frosty. Standing alone at a viewpoint is such a beautiful and humbling experience. 🏔️

The last page of my journal 📖
Since I only travel with a carry-on and don’t have space for many souvenirs, I always try to get a sticker from each national park that I visit for my journal :)

Chocolate covered strawberries and waffles 💕
A decadent breakfast-themed Valentines Day dessert. I used a pre-made waffle mix and added chocolate chips.
Top the waffles with homemade whipped cream and strawberries dipped in chocolate with crunchy pistachios. Enjoy with coffee or tea :)
Tips for the strawberries:
1. Make sure the berries are room temperature and completely dry before dipping them into the chocolate
2. Chill the chocolate covered berries in the fridge on parchment paper to reduce cleanup

Travel Notes: A dreamy sunrise over the Grand Teton Mountains. I was journaling and sipping coffee while the sun slowly illuminated a veil of clouds on the mountain peaks.
The temperature that morning was so low that when I went outside with my coffee my hands immediately went numb!
Wishing you a wonderful (and cozy) day today 💜

Two easy recipe ideas for travel 🚗
When cooking in an Airbnb kitchen I love simple recipes that can be easily adapted depending on what ingredients I have. Pasta and gnocchi dishes are perfect for this!

I’m Galazio - I started using Warpcast in 2023 just before attending FarCon #1 in Boston. With the encouragement of the people I met there, I kept casting about the things I love even though I didn’t have a technical background. Casting has helped me meet some wonderful friends! 💜
I love to cook and I’m planning Season 2 of Galazio Kitchen now 🍋
I’m editing my first novel and write in my journal every day. Road trips are my favorite and my goal is to visit all 63 US National Parks (51 visited so far!)
In the spring and summer I’ll be casting more about gardening.🌷
I have a paragraph newsletter where I post recipes as well as photos and notes about my daily life in New England. Here’s the link if you’re interested in following along: https://paragraph.xyz/@galazio

Beautiful light in this hotel room. Even when I’m on the road I love to start each day with writing 📚 I usually write down the little details of the previous day and my hopes and expectations for the coming day.
