Mexican Street Corn Salad

Happy Monday! We’re kicking off the week with a, well, major kick. Do y’all remember my Mexican Street Corn that I posted a couple years back? It’s a classic at our house every summer, and to me, the recipe is perfection. With one caveat, that is: everyone ends up with aioli on their fingers and corn in their teeth […]

Spring Onion & Feta Frittata

Spring is in the air! Or at least in my farmer’s market. Even though it has been rainy and cold here in New York, I’m relishing the greener spring vegetables finally available at the market. As it happens each season, I’m completely over all heavy, winter foods and looking forward to light and colorful meals […]

Lemon Breakfast Panna Cotta with Stovetop Granola

My morning routine tends to be a rushed one. As hard as I’ve tried to force myself to be an early riser, I typically find myself squeezing in every possible second of shut-eye, then hopping out of bed with just enough time shower, dress and grab breakfast to-go before heading into the office.

Roasted Acorn Squash with Cilantro Chutney

I have ulterior motives. In the spirit of full disclosure, I should probably admit that I start businesses (or as I sometimes like to call them, “projects”) for selfish reasons. I opened a gourmet grocery in the smallish East Texas city I lived in years ago because I wanted a place to buy good bread […]

Savory Stuffed Sweet Potatoes

If sweet potatoes haven’t become a regular staple in your household, it’s time to make them one. There’s simply no vegetable like it: healthy and satisfying, crazy delicious, and as easy to prepare as a bowl of cereal. For the laziest meal, I throw a whole sweet potato into the oven, just as-is, and enjoy […]

How to Cook Perfect Quinoa Every Time

I don’t know what I ate before quinoa became a permanent pantry staple of mine. It sounds cliche given how much quinoa has been dubbed a “trendy” food, but if you ask me, the grain is here to stay. I usually make a big batch at the beginning of the week (practically with my eyes […]

12 Best Veggie Sandwiches

I’ve never met a veggie sandwich I didn’t like. Seasonal vegetables — whether fresh or cooked — are always a good idea. But when placed between two pieces of perfectly toasted bread, and accompanied by some salty, melty cheese, they reach a whole new level of deliciousness. If you ask me, there’s really no wrong way […]
