I’m not exaggerating when I say that I very well may love avocados more than anyone else in the world. Not a day goes by that I don’t consume at least one, and just the thought of cutting into a perfectly ripe avocado makes my mouth water and heart skip a beat. I once thought […]
Jeanine here, and today I’m sharing my go-to meal of the moment: cold soba. I made a big bowl of this as a side dish with dinner last week, and then ate it for lunch the next two days in a row. And when I ran out, I made it again. It not only keeps […]
While going through photos from this Oscar Party photo shoot, I realized I’d never shared the recipe for the incredibly delicious arugula, blood orange & almond salad that we served to guests as a first course. (We collaborated with Word of Mouth on this one, and they created the most perfect dinner party menu full of […]
In last week’s 10 Best, we rounded up some of our favorite products and appliances for the makings of a healthy home. Slide 3 pictured a Breville Juice Fountain, and while it totally fit in with the other items we spotlighted, we thought a little more credit was due to the world of juicing. Now, if […]
Are you all ready to get crafty with your food? This one takes just a little bit of wrapping skills… but if I had to guess, I’d say that after the holidays you’re all DIY pros, so this should be a cinch! Jeanine here, and I just love this method of cooking fish — the result is […]
On Sunday we talked about developing healthy habits (be sure to check out the comments for amazing reader suggestions), and I mentioned that one of mine is always eating a healthy breakfast. Thought I’d share the recipe for my current favorite, though the combination of ingredients changes daily depending on what I’m in the mood […]
You know those nights when you’re starving and want something warm and toasty… but don’t feel like going to the grocery store or cooking? My usual answer: BLT’s. Crispy bacon, butter lettuce and sliced, salted tomatoes layered with a bit of mayonnaise on toasted bread always hits the spot. As does this Curried Chicken & […]
Looking out the window today, all I could see was rain, rain and more rain. It’s one of those January days where you’re inspired to be creative, and dazed by the weather, I was suddenly transported to Italy as I reminisced on past holidays. Rome is one of my favourite romantic cities, and I was […]
We’re eleven days into 2013, and I’d say now’s a good time to check in with ourselves: how are your resolutions materializing? I’m sure that more than a handful of you vowed to eat more healthfully, maybe even committing to a cleanse or regimented diet. Or if you’re like me, you resolved to just eat at […]
It’s true, we don’t have the harshest winters here in Austin, but the last few days have been rainy, grey and cold (cold for us anyway). Perfect soup weather in my book. I (Jeanine) made this a few nights ago and have been eating the leftovers ever since. When I think healthy comfort food, I almost […]
Last week, I took advantage of the last few days of a semi-holiday schedule by inviting a couple of my best gal pals over for lunch with Phoebe and me. I was so ready for clean, nutritious eating and figured that I probably wouldn’t be the only one, so I put together this Quinoa Harvest Salad […]
It’s the day after Christmas, and food is quite possibly the farthest thing from my mind. Among other holiday indulgences, I’ve eaten more cookies than I’d like to admit and I’m, well, full. But the holiday season is still a week from over, so I (Jeanine) think it’s the perfect time for a healthy reprieve… […]
Next up in our 12 Tastes of Christmas series is a gorgeous holiday first-course from Béatrice Peltre, the culinary creative behind La Tartine Gourmande. I’m continually wow’d by Béa’s beautiful photography and the drool-worthy recipes I’m dying to sample, and I’m so thrilled that she popped in with this salad stunner that’s perfect for kicking off […]
‘Tis the season for holiday parties to begin… I don’t know about you but I (Jeanine) am still pretty darn full from Thanksgiving. So today I thought I’d offer up a healthy holiday appetizer idea. Of course, healthy still has to taste really good, so here’s what I did to make these little bites delicious: […]
I (Jeanine) come from a very traditional midwestern family where some Thanksgiving traditions are not to be messed with. I don’t know how some of these culinary delights came to be, but I’m sure many of you can relate… the infamous canned green bean casserole made with canned cream of mushroom soup and canned fried […]
Last week, a huge box showed up at my door bearing…(wait for it) tons and tons of goat cheese. For a chèvre lover like myself, this felt very much like a fantasy, especially since it happened to be from Cypress Grove, the Northern Cali cheesemaker behind my favorite Humboldt Fog selection. Anyway… I knew I […]
Now that Halloween is over, the countdown to Thanksgiving has officially begun. For a lot of us, (myself, Jeanine, included) turkey day is no longer about the turkey. But I realize that for many, the idea of hosting a vegetarian or two at your holiday table is still a scary and stressful thought. The first […]
I’m so thrilled to introduce our newest contributor Jeanine Donofrio and her new series In Season. Twice a month, she’ll be stopping by to share a healthy, delicious recipe inspired by one seasonal ingredient picked up from the farmer’s market. I’ve been a huge fan of Jeanine’s blog Love & Lemons for a while: it’s one […]
I could probably eat a butternut squash every single day. Especially when it’s chilly out, there’s nothing I love more than when it’s roasted until caramelized and sweet, tossed with sea salt and sage… nothing that is, except for when those same flavors meet my other all-time favorite (do I even have to tell you […]
