Minty Pomegranate Punch

Who’s thinking about falling off the #DryJanuary bandwagon this weekend? Hey, no judgement here, but today’s mocktail might be just what’s needed to reset your good intentions. Full of fruity flavors (and rich in antioxidants), this minty pomegranate punch is refreshing, fizzy, and just plain gorgeous. Since I’m trying to use all the pomegranates I […]

Green Kitchen Travels’ Cold Avocado Soup

Michelle Adams of The Maryn served this cold vegan soup as an appetizer during her healthy January lunch. “You can prepare this a day ahead and keep in a closed container in the fridge,” she says. “If you’re not vegan you can also try replacing the coconut milk with yogurt.” She adapted this recipe from one […]

Salads

Kale, Persimmon, & Pomegranate Salad

2016 was the year that I finally boarded the persimmon train. I know, I know: those of you who were early adopters are shaking your heads in bewilderment that I’ve made it this far in my adult life without falling in love with persimmons, but there you have it. I’d always walk right past the […]

Beet, Pomegranate and Hazelnut Salad

Eden Grinshpan’s recipe for Pomegranate, Beet and Hazelnut salad is as flavorful as it is beautiful.

Dinner

How to Make Restaurant Quality Ramen at Home

I know I’m not alone when I say that for the first two decades of my life, “ramen” equalled dehydrated noodles in plastic wrap, paired with sodium-packed powdered flavoring. And while that store-bought version of the classic Japanese dish certainly wasn’t glamorous, something about the comfort of noodles in warm broth still made it undeniably enjoyable. Then came the real […]

3 Delicious Wasa Cracker Breakfast Toasts

If I had to describe my eating habits in a nutshell, these toasts would be it. My approach is a lot less cooking and a lot more assembly, and as a result, I’m able to fill my diet with fresh, healthy ingredients, without spending tons of time and energy on it. Some might call it lazy; I call it efficient. […]

Cucumber Basil & Citrus Mocktail

With the clean slate of the new year and resolutions in full swing, we’re kicking off a month of mocktails, à la Dry January, comin’ at ya every Friday. It starts with this citrusy concoction which I dreamt up while getting my daily fix of sparkling water (something about those bubbles!) and thinking about how much better it would taste with […]

Breakfast

Arugula Breakfast Salad with Toasted Pistachio, Radish & Soft Eggs

Happy New Year! I’m currently viewing my mornings as a time to reboot from the indulgences of the holiday season. This recipe is one of my go-to’s when the days are busy but I’m craving a dose of clean sustenance. Yes, technically it’s a breakfast salad (which we always think is a good idea), but it’s really nothing more than […]

Breakfast

Pecan & Coconut Granola with Yogurt & Berries

Granola is one of my biggest weaknesses. I think it’s something about that sweet-salty-crunchy combo; if I know it’s in the pantry, resistance is futile. Since I’m not planning to ban granola from my life any time soon, I’ve been making lots of homemade versions that are way healthier than the processed sugar-laden ones you usually find at […]
