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.

This is my favorite time of year for flowers #exploring. #flowers #flowerstagram #dahlia #howissummer #sanfranciscoliving #enjoytheday #simplepleasures

I had no intention of making a nicoise tuna salad today but was inspired by the lovely green beans, potatoes, tomatoes and pastured eggs I picked up at the #psufarmersmarket this weekend. #howissummer #eatfresh #salad #scalingback #pdxeats

A little post-dinner harvest. Baby gem lettuce, yellow wax beans, Thai basil and sun gold tomatoes. #howissummer #homegrown #growyourown #summereats #eattherainbow #eatyourgreens

Dark chocolate cookie dough ice cream. This gets a #healthyish boost from a secret ingredient, cauliflower! Let summer ☀️☀️☀️never end! #vegan #veganfoodshare #nicecream #foodstagram #feedfeed #howisummer #cauliflower #scalingback

Dark chocolate sweet potato pudding now on the blog! Dairy-free, paleo and vegan! We have been making this for a few weeks and it gets better every time! #healthyish #eatyourveggies #scalingback #linkinbio

First #fennel from my #homegarden. I need to make sure all those beautiful fronds don't go to waste. What are your favorite things to grow at home? #urbangarden #pdxgarden #ediblegarden

My farmers market haul for the week ahead. I let my meal plans develop themselves based on what's in season. How do you decide on what to cook for dinner? Do you meal plan or just make it up as you go? I do a little bit of both. #farmersmarkets #summereats #eattherainbow #freshfood #supportlocal #eatyourgreens

Sweet treats! Unicorn strawberry and blueberry bars. #cocoabutter, cashews and fresh fruit on top of a nutty cookie crust! #vegan #dairyfree #summereats #
