2015 may be the year of the toast, but I’ve been mashing avocado into bread for many years. It almost never gets old and the variations can go on for days (or even years). I love adding something crunchy (or green), and a bit of citrus to brighten it up. Plus, a little olive […]

*editor’s note: This is the first post in our new “Market Fresh” series, in which Elizabeth Winslow, one of our favorite cooks and food writers, will be spotlighting good-for-you recipes using the freshest seasonal ingredients. She’s kicking it off with a salad that I tasted at her house a few years ago and haven’t been able to stop […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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!
Okay okay, “healthy” is a relative term, but when you compare these against your typical cupcakes packed full of sugar and way too much white flour and butter, they’re definitely healthier, and satisfy chocolate cravings like a champ. After watching the documentary Fed Up recently, I was inspired to start paying a little more attention to how much sugar […]
Hot breakfast cereal may sound like the healthy and responsible choice in the morning, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be equally delicious! It’s all about the add-ins (obviously) and in the fall & winter months, the options are really endless. I love my oatmeal, oat bran, etc. with tons of warm spices and something special like pumpkin […]

Making granola is my favorite weekend activity. Besides being delicious (and a million times better when it’s homemade), having fresh granola baking in the oven makes the house smell completely mouthwatering. Plus, you feel so productive filling a few jars full of homemade cereal for the coming weeks. All I do is vary the ingredients depending on […]
photographed by belathée When we interviewed Marissa Lippert and her best friend Katie back in September for our Besties series we couldn’t help but swoon over the beautiful salads Marissa dished up at her Manhattan café Nourish Kitchen + Table. Her engage-all-senses approach to food is what has made Nourish a healthy hotspot in the […]
photographed by belathée “For me, this dish screams summertime, but you really could whip it up all year round,” says nutritionist and chef Marissa Lippert, founder of our favorite West Village café Nourish Kitchen + Table. “The cleansing crunch of fennel and crisp green beans make it pretty darn evergreen. I love pretty much anything […]
When you think of what a catered party might look like, what’s the first thing that comes to mind? If you imagined shiny serving pieces and servers in head-to-toe black, you’re not entirely wrong. Of course, I love a miniature beef wellington or bite-sized chicken cordon bleu as much as the next girl, but I’ve often […]

On a week that’s all about stocking up on as much sugar and candy as possible (Phoebe’s already practicing yelling ‘Trick or Treat!’ at her loudest) you know what’s good? A really amazing salad. This protein-packed one is full of so many colorful superfoods that it almost feels more like a power bowl than a salad, and it’s […]
Some people hunt for buried treasure… others hunt for the it bag of the season. I, on the other hand, have been on a hunt that’s led me all over the internet, deep into my cookbook collection, and on countless trips to the produce aisle, as I try to unlock my own culinary mystery: how to […]
The fervor with which people rush to Starbucks to have their first Pumpkin Spice Latté of the season has become almost cliché; this year our neighborhood store launched it earlier than ever, and I observed customers actually sweating in the still-90 degree heat while they savored their first spicy sips. Even to a non-flavored coffee gal like […]
To-may-to, To-mah-to! If you haven’t guessed from the dozens of recipes popping up in your Pinterest feed, it’s officially tomato season. I love buying local produce when I can, and the farm fresh tomatoes spilling over grocery and farmer’s market shelves (in a mouthwatering array of colors) makes it pretty easy this time of year. When you […]
Before we dive into today’s recipe, do y’all mind if I ask a quick favor? Forbes is currently accepting nominations for their annual list of the 100 Best Websites for Women, and it would be such a personal dream to show up on it. If you feel so inclined, would you mind taking a moment […]
