Welcome!

Hi, I’m Tina and welcome to Scaling Back! I am a self-taught cook and photographer living in Portland, Oregon. Over the last few years both my husband and son have developed some severe food sensitivities and allergies, so this blog is a chronicle of my attempts to recreate allergy-free versions of their favorite foods.

Waiting for a snowstorm that never did arrive I decided to break out the tin of watercolors that I purchased once upon a time and try my hand at a medium I’ve always been terrified of. Not too bad for my first attempt. Working with ceramics has opened a place inside of me that is a lot more adventurous and curious about trying new things. #slowsunday #trysomethingnew

Amazing matchazuke @stonemillmatcha. This is elevated comfort food that reminds me of my childhood like nothing else can. So thankful I took the time to talk to a stranger to get this recommendation. Solo traveling isn’t all that bad. #solotravel #wherethedaytakesyou #tasteofhome

On my 1st #solovacation in three years. Exploring the city I ❤️ through my eyes only.

Happy Mother’s Day to anyone lucky enough to call themselves mom. I was served breakfast in bed and spent the morning in my garden. I never thought I wanted to be a mom but I wouldn’t trade the experience for anything. #perfectday #homegrown #ceramics

First day in the garden today. So much to do but so rewarding! It’s also the first time in months that I picked up my camera. I’ve missed you old friend. #minimalism #sopretty slowsundays #urbangarden #flowerstagram #scalingback

I had a craving for something sweet this morning so I bake up a batch of my gluten free banana chocolate chip muffins! @bobsredmill almond flour gives them the best taste and texture! #scalingback #livegreenhealthy #dairyfree #linkinbio

Looking to lighten things up a bit after all the holiday indulgence? This #vegan fall harvest salad will keep for several days so make the most of your #slowsunday and make a double batch! Your #lunchbox will thank you! #scalingback #pdxeats #pdxfoodie

Looking for a last minute #thanksgiving dessert? This #vegan pumpkin cashew pudding only takes minutes to prepare and can be made ahead of time to simplify your holiday table!
