Granola is one of my biggest weaknesses. I think it’s something about that sweet-salty-crunchy combo; if I know it’s in the pantry, resistance is futile. Since I’m not planning to ban granola from my life any time soon, I’ve been making lots of homemade versions that are way healthier than the processed sugar-laden ones you usually find at […]
With Christmas in the rearview mirror, we’ve officially reached that point in the season where I start feeling the itch for warmer temps and swimsuit weather. Luckily, Austin’s winters are so short that we really don’t have that long to wait (sorry, rest of the country), and as a result I usually start incorporating springtime flavors into my […]

This soup is as close to “fall in a bowl” as it gets. Full of curry spices, warming winter squash and a bright hint of citrus and fresh herbs at the end — there’s just nothing I’d rather curl up with on a chilly night in November. Oh, and did I mention that you can […]
It’s officially soup season! Okay, admittedly it’s been soup season at our house since the minute the temperatures dipped below 75 degrees in Austin, but I’m still really excited about it. How do I love this soup? Let me count the ways. First, it’s loaded with white beans and hearty vegetables that make it quite possibly the most […]
This post is sponsored by Mars SEEDS OF CHANGE® and Target It’s become a running Thanksgiving joke at our house. Each year when I start planning the menu for our family feast, everyone else votes to have the exact same menu items as last year, but I just can’t help myself from spicing things up with something a little different. […]

One of my favorite elements on the table at our wickedly gorgeous Halloween dinner party were the delicious and surprisingly healthy caramel apples that nixed the butter and sugar, but still felt like a major treat (because it is Halloween, after all.) The “caramel” sauce is made from medjool dates and coconut oil for the most addictive all-natural sweetness — a few of the girls loved this […]
I’ll admit, I can be a little picky and hesitant about trying new foods. My biggest hurdle came along with trying tofu for the first time, but I’m so glad I did and now can’t imagine my diet without it. Tofu excels in absorbing the flavors it’s cooked with, so with the right recipe and ingredients it’ll […]
You know when people say that a spaghetti squash pasta tastes “just like real pasta?” I hate to be the one to break the news, but usually, they’re kidding themselves. (It doesn’t help that, by the time you read this, I’ll be in Sicily eating all the pasta in sight… So I’m a little biased […]
Eggplants are one of my favorite things about end of summer produce — I always buy way too many at the store, and then… don’t really know what to do with them. That was before I discovered THIS incredible stuff-and-roast technique, shown in the video above. It’s the perfect party recipe because everyone can build their […]
It always happens around September 1st, just like clockwork: I’m relishing the warm weather and wishing that summer would never end, when BAM! I feel a cool breeze and leaf through the September issues of all my mags, and suddenly I’m as obsessed with fall as this guy. Without a doubt, my favorite thing about this […]
We can’t ignore the fact that summer is coming to an end, so I’m taking every opportunity to enjoy it before it’s gone. Cooking dinner while it’s still light out, eating meals outside, New Jersey tomatoes. I’m also stocking up – literally and figuratively – for the winter by eating those perfect summer tomatoes on anything and […]
Summer is definitely my favorite time of year: beach trips and endless hours spent outside are just a couple of the reasons I wish the season could last forever. Another thing that makes summer summer is the bounty at the farmers market, which I frequent at least once a week. I cannot get enough! Right now is the best […]
From Bonni: “I love this raw corn summer salad because it is so refreshing! Feel free to add whatever seasonal veggies are available. You can certainly make this ahead of time and keep refrigerated, but I suggest adding the okra right before you serve because it can get slimy.” Read the full story here: Entertaining With […]
When I set out to create a healthier version of key lime pie, I had a lot of goals in mind. First, I wanted it to be no-bake, because #August. And #Texas. Which was tough, since you can’t have key lime pie without that signature graham cracker crust. Second challenge is that I wanted it to […]

In the warmer months, I’m always looking for easy, throw-together meals that are more about “assembling” than actual cooking. Smoothies are great, of course, but while looking for ideas to change things up a bit, I found these amazing breakfast bars inspired by Green Kitchen Stories. I know they look like a candy bar, but they’re […]
I’ve made some version of this soba noodle and mango salad for the past few summers and, without fail, people go nuts over it. Full of thai flavors like lime, peanuts and a profusion of herbs, it’s really the crunchy coconut throughout the salad that takes it over the top and makes people stop and say, […]
Not sure why it took me so long to hop on the overnight oats bandwagon, but now that I’ve discovered their brilliance, I’m fully hooked. For the uninitiated, making overnight oats requires little more than stirring together a few ingredients then letting them sit in the fridge overnight, and when you wake up in the morning, […]
