Mango & Coconut Soba Noodle Salad

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, […]

The Breakfast Recipe That’ll Save Your Morning

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, […]

My Favorite Poké Bowl, 2 Ways (video!)

In today’s video, I’m making one of my favorite things on the planet: a poké bowl made with ahi tuna and tons of fresh crunchy veggies. Poké bowls are pretty trendy right now, but I didn’t really discover the real deal until we went to Hawaii earlier this year and there was one on pretty much every […]

Tropical Green Smoothie

We’ve got a heat wave here in NYC that’s letting us know: summer has officially arrived. The idea of turning on the oven is a joke, and I’m on the hunt for cooling meals at all times of day. Green smoothies are my breakfast of choice which makes things easy in the mornings, and this tropical […]

BLT Brunch Frittata

You say “frittata,” I say “gimme”: especially when it tastes like the lovechild of a BLT and a piece of pizza (without the carbs and the gluten.) A frittata is every savvy hostess’s secret weapon when it comes to serving brunch to a crowd. A few veggies sautéed in a skillet, in go the eggs, […]

This Grain Bowl Will Save Your Lunch Hour

Would you agree that lunch is the meal where it’s easiest to get stuck in a rut? Most days I toss together a quick salad with some protein, or just mash up a sweet potato — but lately I’ve been taking just a little extra time to make a grain bowl (mostly with leftovers from the […]

Why A Salad Is the Best Way to Start Your Day

Would you guys eat salad for breakfast? I have to admit that it’s something I would never have considered a couple years ago, but as I’ve gotten more into savory breakfasts (and started filling my smoothies with loads of spinach), suddenly the idea doesn’t seem so crazy. And there’s no doubt that starting things off […]

Sweet Potato Poblano Soup

I’ve been a huge fan of Dr. Weil’s and his sage advice on wellness and nutrition for years, so I was thrilled when the restaurant he co-founded, True Food Kitchen, opened its doors in Austin a couple months ago. The menu is built around his anti-inflammatory approach to food, so I knew it would be […]

Passion Fruit Chia Pudding

We’re having some unseasonably cold weather here in NYC… and I’m pretty sure I’m not the only one who’s totally over it. Although I’m not quite ready for the humidity of summer, the bright and lovely produce of the warmer months is sounding pretty heavenly right now. In rebellion, I’m eating tropical fruit chia pudding like it’s 80 […]

Spring Onion & Feta Frittata

Spring is in the air! Or at least in my farmer’s market. Even though it has been rainy and cold here in New York, I’m relishing the greener spring vegetables finally available at the market. As it happens each season, I’m completely over all heavy, winter foods and looking forward to light and colorful meals […]
