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.

What began as #watermelon #poke became so much more. Watermelon, black rice, cucumber, avocado, toasted coconut, macadamia sea beans and a spicy coconut lime dressing. This #bowl will be on repeat all summer long. ☀️ #healthyish #scalingback #vegan #whatveganseat #summereats

I've tried a lot of #superfoods but Maca is the one that has made the biggest impact on my mood and sense of well-being. It gives me tons of sustained energy, clears my brain fog and sets me up for a productive and positive day. What's your favorite superfood? I'd ❤️to hear from you! #linkinbio #cauliflower #lucama

Happy Mother's Day! I hope that all you moms get a moment to yourselves today. Mine is right here @sterlingcoffee. ❤️❤️ #coffee #slowsundays #mothersday #pdxcoffee #pdx #treatyoself

If you've never made homemade bread before this no knead super seedy spelt loaf is a good place to start. All it takes it a few minutes of prep and then some patience to let it sit and do its thing. #ontheblogtoday #nokneadbread #healthyish #healthyeats #scalingback #homemade

Happy May Day! In an attempt to take control of my rapidly diminishing memory I have decided to give bullet journaling a try. I ❤️ the personalization it offers but worry I am going to get obsessive about getting it perfect. Any tips, tricks or pitfalls to share with me? Much appreciated! #butfirstcoffee #bujo #bujojunkies #bulletjournal #morningmotivation

Meal prep Sunday. I turned the stinging nettles I scored at the farmers market yesterday into this delicious vegan nettle pesto. Great tossed with pasta, in top of scrambled eggs or layered into a sandwich. They are a fairly new ingredient for me but I am loving the taste and amazing health benefits they provide! How do you use #nettles? I'd love to hear any recipes or tips you could share! #mealprepsunday #slowliving #homemade #scalingback

Saturday farmer's ‍ market haul. Purple sprouting broccoli, stinging nettles, rhubarb, fresh sprouts, #portlandjuiceco green juice and lots of potted herbs and vegetable for my spring garden! I'll plan my weekly meal prep around my finds and share my menu tomorrow! #farmersmarket #mealprep #pdxfoodie #eattherainbow #pdx #pdxfood

Now #ontheblog this gluten-free, dairy-free grapefruit almond cake is healthy enough for breakfast but makes a great dessert as well. Especially if you add the optional cashew cream frosting! #scalingback #cake #linkinbio
