Whether they’re lined up in a patch, decorating the front porch or making their way into your recipes, nothing announces the arrival of fall quite like pumpkins, and chances are, they’re finding their way into your celebrations one way or another this season. If pumpkins have historically been relegated to your pie recipes and PSL orders, this […]

Your Cheat Sheet for the Perfect Vinaigrette

The first time I ever asked a chef to divulge a secret recipe, it was for a salad dressing. My parents had taken me out to a fancier-than-usual dinner to celebrate my 16th birthday, and we all fell in love with the house salad — which was surprising, since it was really just a simple mix of field […]

These 2 Breakfast Recipes Will Re-Invent Your Mornings

There are two types of breakfast eaters: creatures of habit who can eat the same thing day after day, and those who get bored with routine and like to mix things up in the morning. I’m admittedly in the first camp: I go through phases where I relish eating the exact same dish day in […]

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 […]

“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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
