Breakfast

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 […]

Easter Egg Pancakes

Lately I’ve started letting Phoebe “help out” in the kitchen: she was my devoted sous chef on last weekend’s pizza dough, and she singlehandedly added all the ingredients to a batch of zucchini muffins the other day. It definitely gets messy and undoubtedly takes longer than if I just cook something myself, but we have […]

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 […]

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 […]

Spiced Candied Pecans & Pomegranate Yogurt Cups

With all the Christmas cookies and treats going around, now is the time to start the day on a lighter note.  This yogurt cup is almost entirely healthy with just a hint of spiced decadence (it is the holidays, after all!) This makes the perfect pairing for chai tea and gift-wrapping. Happy holidays!

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 […]

Maple Molasses Muffins

I love a warm, spiced muffin as soon as the temperatures begin to drop. I know most jump for pumpkin bread and the like, but I love the simple flavors of maple, molasses and lots of Autumn spices. These muffins are perfect for breakfast, as a mid-day snack and they’re even great for dessert (maybe add […]

Apple Almond Breakfast Cake

It’s finally Apple season, meaning the weather is cooler and indian summers have passed. Fall is officially here with all the flavors that follow. I’m craving the most warming and comforting flavors like apple crisp and nutmeg with pretty much anything. This apple cake is pretty perfect any type of day, but it is especially […]

Salted Caramel Apple Muffins

I’ve officially been bitten by the salted caramel bug. Salted caramel ice cream, salted caramel sauce (to drizzle over ice cream, of course), salted caramel brownies… there’s something about the toasty buttery flavor of caramel that’s just made for a sprinkle of sea salt, and I’ve recently caught myself fantasizing about how to add more of […]
