Breakfast

Spicy Avocado Toast

Click here to read the full 2 Breakfast Recipes that will Reinvent your Morning story! The breakfast food that is everywhere but that’s still impossible to get tired of because it’s so darn delicious: avocado toast. There’s something about those flavors that come together to form the perfect bite, and I’ve been upgrading ours with a pure spicy […]

Dessert

Healthy Caramel Apples

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 […]

Dessert

“Kitchen Sink” Halloween Chocolate Bark

I’m a little mystified as to why I haven’t experimented with chocolate bark before, because (a) it is ridiculously easy and so delicious, and (b) I’m not sure that I’ve ever had so much fun making a dessert! You can get real creative with throwing in all kinds of toppings (like I did here), marbling different […]

15 Super Flavorful Tofu Recipes

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 […]

Dessert

Autumn-Spiced Stuffed Baked Apples

There’s nothing quite like the feeling I get when I bake my first fall recipe of the season. The gentle hum of the oven (a sound I haven’t heard in months, thanks to the Texas heat), the scent of warm, hearty spices wafting throughout the kitchen, and, if I’m lucky, an open window with a […]

Dinner

Spaghetti Squash Pasta with Goat Cheese, Arugula, & Bacon

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 […]

Drinks

Vanilla Fig Smoothie With Cinnamon Whipped Cream

 My love affair with figs started just a few months ago after trying them for the first time (I know, late to the game) and now I’m doing my best to make-up for lost time by including them in just about everything I make — which is totally doable given their mildly sweet and versatile flavor. Not only are […]

Elotes (Mexican Street Corn)

San Diego blogger Sarah Yates Mora discovered this simple recipe for grilled mexican street corn on a trip to Tijuana years ago and has made it her dinner party staple ever since. See how she served this recipe during an intimate backyard dinner party by viewing the full story here.

Drinks

Layered Chocolate, Banana, & Date Shake

September is a month of new goals and fresh starts, and for many of us, that holds just as true in the food and drink departments. Did anyone else feel like the last half of summer held a few too many opportunities for overindulgences? I definitely hit my limit over the Labor Day weekend with 3 days […]

Dinner

The Prettiest Eggplant Dish Ever

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 […]

Dinner

Fall Quesadillas with Apple, Radicchio & Pomegranate

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 […]

3 Easy Back-To-School Lunch Ideas

It seems like every parent I know (myself included) is frequently stumped over what to put in their kids’ school lunch box. It’s a balancing act between making lunch nutritious and interesting, while still packing items your kids will actually eat. Since Phoebe’s first day of school is today, I thought it would be perfect timing to […]

Breakfast

Baked Eggs with Heirloom Tomatoes, Herbs & Feta

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 […]

This Salad Has Everything That’s Great About Summer

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 […]
