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 […]

Linguine with Kale & Caramelized Onions

For some, it’s online shopping, for others, it’s their boxed set of Lost DVD’s… I, personally, get more than a tiny bit obsessive about new cookbooks (seriously, it’s a problem.) Over the holidays, I literally couldn’t stop reading At Home in the Whole Food Kitchen, the new vegetarian cookbook by chef Amy Chaplin. The mouthwatering photos, nourishing and simple […]

10 Best Detox Drinks

When I submitted my New Year’s resolution to this post last week, I wasn’t being entirely truthful. While I did mention that I’d resolved to be more of a morning person, I didn’t list the other half dozen resolutions I’ve embraced — probably more than any one person can realistically take on. In addition to waking up early, and cutting […]

What’s On Hand :: Sweet Paul

Paul Lowe, aka Sweet Paul, is certainly living the sweet life. He was born in Oslo, Norway and raised by his Auntie Gunnvor (Great Aunt) and Mormor (grandmother) who nurtured his love of cooking and crafting at an early age.

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 […]

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!

Fig, Ricotta, & Almond Flatbread

I think this year was the first time I stopped by the farmer’s market, saw figs and actually wanted to buy them. I know, I know. It seems crazy that something so sweet, delicious, and versatile wouldn’t have made it onto my shopping list before, but I just didn’t know how to eat them. Growing up […]

10 Best Holiday Party Appetizers

One of my favorite holiday traditions is my family’s annual Christmas party every December. We spend several days cooking and preparing our party spread, complete with my dad’s Swedish meatballs, my mom’s caramelized onion and feta cheese pizza, and my selection of seasonal desserts. Then on a Sunday night, we fill our house with dear […]

2 Great Holiday Punch Recipes

Thank goodness that the old-school punch bowl is having a “moment” again, since a huge batch of fruity, boozy punch is one of my greatest secrets to stress-free holiday entertaining.
