Roasted Acorn Squash with Cilantro Chutney

I have ulterior motives. In the spirit of full disclosure, I should probably admit that I start businesses (or as I sometimes like to call them, “projects”) for selfish reasons. I opened a gourmet grocery in the smallish East Texas city I lived in years ago because I wanted a place to buy good bread […]

Maple Banana Bread with Hempseeds

I was raised in California, and the closest it gets to cold, wintry weather is dropping below 75 degrees in December. It’s not the most festive place in the world for the holiday months, but we had other ways of making it special. I always associate banana bread with the changing of seasons, as a […]

Savory Stuffed Sweet Potatoes

If sweet potatoes haven’t become a regular staple in your household, it’s time to make them one. There’s simply no vegetable like it: healthy and satisfying, crazy delicious, and as easy to prepare as a bowl of cereal. For the laziest meal, I throw a whole sweet potato into the oven, just as-is, and enjoy […]

How to Cook Perfect Quinoa Every Time

I don’t know what I ate before quinoa became a permanent pantry staple of mine. It sounds cliche given how much quinoa has been dubbed a “trendy” food, but if you ask me, the grain is here to stay. I usually make a big batch at the beginning of the week (practically with my eyes […]

Sicilian-Style Zucchini Spaghetti

I know, I know… I can’t stop talking about my new addiction to spiralizing (as shown here and here.) And we really only have one person to blame thank: when Ali of Inspiralized sent me one of her genius inspiralizers to try out, it was so simple to use that I started creating noodles out of […]

Marinated Eggplant & Tomato Crostini

Recipe from Huckle & Goose | click here for the full story “We are huge fans of roasting, and while most of us don’t want to turn on the oven in the summer, this recipe is so worth it. The best part is the longer it sits the better it gets, so you don’t have […]

Mango & Cucumber Noodle Salad

Have I mentioned that I finally have a spiralizer in my life? I don’t know why I waited so long (especially since I’ve been pinning zucchini noodle “pastas”  for months now) but ever since I added this model to my kitchen gadget collection, I’ve been making noodles out of, well, just about anything that can become a […]

Chickpea Socca with Cherry Tomato, Soft-Boiled Egg, & Mesclun Greens

Socca has been a staple in my house for years because it is the most delicious (and nutritious) meal ever! Whether it’s for breakfast, lunch or dinner, socca is perfect anytime of day. For mornings, it’s an amazing savory idea – similar to a frittata and just as satisfying. Plus, it’s the easiest and quickest […]

Raspberry & Chia Seed Superfood Parfait

Do you guys go through breakfast “phases” where you tend to crave the same types of food every morning? I totally do — during my pregnancy, it was all about the scrambled eggs with avocado and toast. But (and I’m not sure if it’s due to the hotter weather or my post-baby body goals!) lately […]

Raw Raspberry Lemon Cheesecake

I can still taste that life-altering first bite of cookie dough cheesecake. I literally thought I had found dessert nirvana. God knows what was in that cheesecake that made it weigh a pound. […]

Farro, Tomato & Herb Salad with Roasted Lemons

It’s Monday! And if you’re like me, that means clean eating to make up for the sins of the weekend (rosé, fries, and an inordinate amount of caramel corn… check.) Let’s start by talking about these roasted lemons. They’re a new thing for me, and I currently want to put them in everything (i.e., last night […]
