Charred Caprese Eggplants

I almost feel like it’s cheating to do another “caprese” recipe, because let’s face it: ANYTHING you stuff with tomatoes, basil, and fresh mozzarella is going to be delicious. But when I made these charred eggplants the other night for dinner, they were so ridiculously easy (in addition to being delish) that I knew I […]

14 Healthy Dinner Recipes to Help You Reset After the Holidays

Is it any coincidence that New Years resolutions happen right about the time that I can barely look at another cheese board or glass of champagne without feeling a little queasy? After nearly a month of revelry, I am so ready to savor some lighter, cleaner meals that put vegetables front and center, and my […]

Sunday Meatballs

Check out the full story here: Entertaining With Half Baked Harvest! From Tieghan: My brother Creighton is the most meat-loving human I know. Without a doubt, one of his favorite meals on earth is one Nonnie’s meatloaf. I kid you not, he talks about this meatloaf all the time. Fortunately, I know exactly why it’s […]

Creamy Polenta with Garlic-Butter Kale & Mushrooms

Check out the full story here: Entertaining With Half Baked Harvest! From Tieghan: This recipe is for one giant bowl of comfort. I like to call it the single girl’s dinner: It’s Friday night and you have no plans, so you make a pot of polenta, cook up some kale in garlic butter, throw on […]

Roasted Cauliflower & White Bean Soup with Rosemary

It’s officially soup season! Okay, admittedly it’s been soup season at our house since the minute the temperatures dipped below 75 degrees in Austin, but I’m still really excited about it. How do I love this soup? Let me count the ways. First, it’s loaded with white beans and hearty vegetables that make it quite possibly the most […]

Sheet Pan Roasted Chili-Orange Salmon with Garlic & Green Veggies

Does anyone else feel like these early fall weeks are possibly the most insane time of year? It seems like work, travel, social stuff, and kids activities all conspire with each other to happen at the exact same time in October, and in years past I’ve definitely allowed myself to become overwhelmed and just hope that […]

Mango & Coconut Soba Noodle Salad

I’ve made some version of this soba noodle and mango salad for the past few summers and, without fail, people go nuts over it. Full of thai flavors like lime, peanuts and a profusion of herbs, it’s really the crunchy coconut throughout the salad that takes it over the top and makes people stop and say, […]

Easy Caprese Pesto Penne

Have you ever tasted a new ingredient and thought, “Now this is a game-changer”? I can remember a few times in my life: Maldon sea salt, really good dark chocolate, European butter, and most of all, six years ago when we were on our honeymoon in Italy and I tasted buffalo mozzarella for the first time. Previously, I’d had […]

Sweet Potato, Avocado & Quinoa Bowl

If I’m eating lunch at my desk, most days it looks something like this: a healthy grain like quinoa or farro leftover from last night’s dinner, plus whatever cooked veggies I have on hand, some raw greens and usually some chopped up avocado because, let’s face it: avocado makes everything better. A sprinkle of herbs, […]
