Cranberry Pumpkinseed Granola

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 […]

Detox Kale Salad

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 […]

Green Bean, Toasted Walnut & Pecorino Romano Salad

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 […]

Zucchini with Roasted Tomatoes and Arugula

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 […]

Arugula Breakfast Salad with Soft Boiled Eggs

As warming and comforting as sweet breakfasts can be, I often crave something really crisp in the morning.  You may think salad for breakfast sounds crazy, but I promise it’s the most nurturing thing to start off your day.  Especially if you’ve maybe had one too many glasses of wine the night before – this […]

From Camille’s Kitchen :: Brown Butter Pumpkin Pasta

As much as I love experimenting with new recipes and innovative flavors, there’s something about the winter months that just calls for the comforting foods and familiar flavors that I associate with the holidays. Think about how you feel when you come in from the cold and are handed a steaming mug of spicy cider, or bite […]

No-Churn Chai Ice Cream with Dulce de Leche

If I had to eat only one food for the rest of my life, I think I’d choose ice cream. I’ll gladly devour any flavor, from roasted beet to plain old vanilla, fancy artisanal versions or DQ soft serve (remember “dip cones?”)… I’m pretty obsessed with it all. Since we’re still feeling summertime temps here in Austin, I’m holding onto ice cream […]

Salted Caramel Apple Muffins

I’ve officially been bitten by the salted caramel bug. Salted caramel ice cream, salted caramel sauce (to drizzle over ice cream, of course), salted caramel brownies… there’s something about the toasty buttery flavor of caramel that’s just made for a sprinkle of sea salt, and I’ve recently caught myself fantasizing about how to add more of […]

How to Make the Perfect Sweet Potato Fries

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 […]

Pumpkin Spice Tacos

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 […]

Morning Meals :: Fried Green Tomato Toast

Even though summer’s almost over, I’m still having a complete love affair with its produce. I know our tendencies are all for heirlooms all the time, but the second I saw these plump green tomatoes, I knew there was an avocado toast in my future. It may not be battered, but these “fried” green tomatoes will […]

Three Amazing Sandwich Recipes

If you’re a regular reader, you may have caught on to the fact that Camille loves salads — she eats one for lunch most days of the work week, and is usually really, really excited about them. Typically, I’d make fun of her disproportionate salad enthusiasm, but to be totally honest, I’m the same way with my […]

Morning Meals :: Savory Breakfast Tartine

I truly love a savory breakfast — it’s no secret that I always love an avocado toast (like this one!), and I’ve been wanting to share my favorite “breakfast salad” recipe on here for a while. But the produce lately has been so gorgeous, I thought I’d set aside my avocado toast for something a little more […]

10 Best Quinoa Recipes

Quinoa has somehow become the health food superstar—from a rice side dish substitute to an essential element in any meal of the day (even dessert?). Some may argue that quinoa’s reign ended after its trendy introduction in 2013, but we’re still loving the creative edge that this ingredient provides on a daily basis. What’s your […]

The Super Foodie :: Cranberry Almond Granola Bites

One of my favorite go-to snacks is granola, and these almond cranberry granola bites hit just the right spot! The mix of a little bit of sweet with the salt, nutty almond flavor—it’s just perfection. And they’re healthy, of course! This recipe is quick to throw together and makes a large batch…but be warned, they […]

Tuesday Tastings :: Kale, Orange & Hazelnut Salad

Although kale salads could probably win the prize for “trendiest food of 2014,” when I stumble across a really great one, I can’t help but become obsessed. A couple weeks ago, it happened again at the Mother’s Day brunch that we hosted at my house with Minted. Word of Mouth prepared the mouthwatering spread, and […]
