I was raised in California, and the closest it gets to cold, wintry weather is dropping below 75 degrees in December. It’s not the most festive place in the world for the holiday months, but we had other ways of making it special. I always associate banana bread with the changing of seasons, as a […]
Typically around this time of year, I find myself daydreaming of ways to spookify my favorite baked treats. Witches, goblins and all the creepy crawly things I can wrap my head around, they’re all there, waiting to be turned into something sweet. But this year, it’s been a little different. The end of the month crept up […]
I know, pumpkin spice everything has invaded the interwebs this month, but c’mon: it only comes around once a year and the season is so fleeting! And I’m #sorrynotsorry that we’re just going to keep the pumpkin train going for 6 more weeks until we’re officially sick of it. You’ll forgive me once you’ve laid […]
I think it’s safe to say Summer is officially over. It’s suddenly a little too cold in the evenings to go out in a tee shirt, and naturally I’m craving anything spiced. Now that we can use our ovens happily without resenting it, I think it’s time to get baking. These donuts are the perfect transitional breakfast […]
It might not be sweater weather quite yet here in Austin, but I’m feeling pretty autumnal anyway, thanks to one of my favorite fall crops: apples. I was so surprised several years ago to discover that Texas boasts several thriving apple orchards, and now as soon as the rosy Galas, Annas, and MacIntoshes start coming […]
Socca has been a staple in my house for years because it is the most delicious (and nutritious) meal ever! Whether it’s for breakfast, lunch or dinner, socca is perfect anytime of day. For mornings, it’s an amazing savory idea – similar to a frittata and just as satisfying. Plus, it’s the easiest and quickest […]
Do you guys go through breakfast “phases” where you tend to crave the same types of food every morning? I totally do — during my pregnancy, it was all about the scrambled eggs with avocado and toast. But (and I’m not sure if it’s due to the hotter weather or my post-baby body goals!) lately […]

Click here to see more healthy power bowl recipes from Kelly! My friend & I shared this acai bowl in NYC last Fall and I’ve been hooked ever since. Full of fruit and antioxidants, but also not too sweet. This is a great option for me before a long bike ride as I need all the fast-acting […]
Finally: tomato season is in full swing! The farmer’s market is bursting with the most beautiful array of heirloom tomatoes and I want to use them on everything. Besides simple summer salads & no-cook sauces, toast is my favorite way to eat tomatoes this time of year. They don’t need much – just some garlic, olive oil […]
Summer fruit is giving me life these days. Whether it’s raw, baked or preserved, I truly can’t get enough. This blueberry ricotta cake is the perfect way to highlight summer berries & serve a gorgeous, crowd-pleasing sweet. While it’s technically a “cake”, we highly suggest you give it a try for breakfast. After all, summer’s […]
I’m a big fan of brunch as one of the most fun times to invite friends over for a meal. It always feels way more laid-back than a dinner party, and everyone arrives feeling relaxed and happy after sleeping in that morning. For the first post in our series with Blue Diamond Almonds, I decided to organize […]
It’s that time of year where I avoid “cooking” at all costs. The weather here in NYC has been in the 80’s and humid, so the last thing that’s on my mind is the warmth of a hot oven. These days, breakfasts have been refreshing and quick – smoothies, yogurt, granola, and the like. This chia pudding […]
Strawberry season has come early this year and I can’t get enough. I love them most when raw, so over greek yogurt is always a great, easy option. But for just a little more effort (and a lot more flavor), strawberries are also amazing when macerated with a savory herb, like thyme or rosemary. It makes […]
The markets are filled with amazing Spring produce and I couldn’t be more excited. Now that it’s finally warming up and feeling like Summer, all I want to eat are raw vegetables. There’s nothing like a good scramble, especially when it’s packed with vibrant, green things. This one is super tasty & features my favorite […]

The first signs of spring are finally showing up here on the East Coast — and one of my favorites is the fresh rhubarb that’s suddenly available! After a long winter where citrus were the only in-season fruits, I’m ready for something bright and juicy. This oatmeal is the perfect simple breakfast bowl to remind you […]
Will it waffle? I’m only now discovering what an important question this is. I love discovering new uses for my kitchen tools—the slow cooker, the pressure cooker, the blender, and the rice cooker have all been the source of new culinary discoveries this year. But what about the waffle iron? A quick internet search led […]
I am (and have always been) the biggest fan of toast. To me, it’s the most perfect and versatile blank canvas to satisfy hunger at any time of day. Whether topped with avocado, eggs or something a little sweeter – a piece of toast provides endless opportunities for experimentation. On busy mornings, there’s no faster breakfast […]
I rarely leave home without a granola bar tossed in my bag, but I’m not a big fan of the processed ingredients and refined sugars that are in most of them. So lately I’ve been really into making my own, and when I hit upon some of the great no-bake versions out there, I started tooling around […]
