Breakfast

Herbed Goat Cheese & Radish Tartines

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 […]

No-Bake Peanut Butter-Chocolate Chunk Granola Bars

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 […]

Pesto & Goat Cheese Frittata

Brunch is my favorite meal for entertaining, and not just because I love breakfast food so much. It’s a chance to have a slow-paced, leisurely start to the day with the ones you love. It also doesn’t hurt to have bottomless coffee and perhaps a glass of prosecco!My go-to is usually something baked in the oven, like […]

Sea Salt & Olive Oil Granola

I truly love homemade granola. It’s always so much better (and cheaper) than store-bought and makes your house smell amazing. The options are really endless with the different fruits, nuts, grains and seeds you can throw in, and the best part? Almost any variation will taste amazing. There’s nothing better than having a batch of homemade […]

Raw Kale Caesar with Beet Microgreens & Poached Egg

Raw kale caesar salads are one thing I never tire of. They’re hearty with a great bite & brightness making them the most satisfying meal ever.  I like mine with a few hippie add-ons and poached egg for breakfast (or anytime of day). This almond caesar dressing is naturally dairy-free, but has the bold, zingy flavor that every […]

Cardamom Kumquat Mini Loaf

Kumquats are the new beloved citrus at my house.  They can be eaten skin-on, whole or sliced, raw or cooked.  With their burst of zingy tartness, they provide a much-needed dose of bright flavor on these cold winter days.  Besides being hearty and delicious, these mini loaves have no dairy, gluten or grain, but I promise […]

Avocado Radish Toasts

2015 may be the year of the toast, but I’ve been mashing avocado into bread for many years.  It almost never gets old and the variations can go on for days (or even years).  I love adding something crunchy (or green), and a bit of citrus to brighten it up.   Plus, a little olive […]

Mini Dill Frittatas

Like many of us, I’m trying to cook and eat as pure as possible these days.  It’s a little cold for green smoothies every morning, so I’m opting for another simple & wholesome breakfast.  These mini frittatas take almost no time at all, and are the perfect breakfast for an easy weeknight breakfast or weekend […]

Detox Green Smoothie

Don’t know about you, but I’m still full from my December feasting and needing a post-holiday overhaul.  I don’t do liquid diets or juice fasts, but I do love the way green smoothies make me feel, especially when I’ve been feeding my body straight sugar for the last month.  This smoothie is packed with good […]

10 Best New Year’s Brunch Recipes

I love the feeling of waking up on New Year’s Day, full of renewed energy and hope for what lies ahead… and then, of course, promptly sitting down to one very delicious brunch. There really is no better way to kick off a brand new year than with good food and a toast or two with old […]

Creamy Pumpkin Oat Bran Porridge

Hot breakfast cereal may sound like the healthy and responsible choice in the morning, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be equally delicious!  It’s all about the add-ins (obviously) and in the fall & winter months, the options are really endless.  I love my oatmeal, oat bran, etc. with tons of warm spices and something special like pumpkin […]

Cranberry Pumpkinseed Granola

Making granola is my favorite weekend activity.  Besides being delicious (and a million times better when it’s homemade), having fresh granola baking in the oven makes the house smell completely mouthwatering.  Plus, you feel so productive filling a few jars full of homemade cereal for the coming weeks. All I do is vary the ingredients depending on […]

Arugula Breakfast Salad with Soft Boiled Eggs

As warming and comforting as sweet breakfasts can be, I often crave something really crisp in the morning.  You may think salad for breakfast sounds crazy, but I promise it’s the most nurturing thing to start off your day.  Especially if you’ve maybe had one too many glasses of wine the night before – this […]
