I love millet for its nutty flavor, great consistency and quick cooking time. This salad is the kind of dish I like to have in my back pocket for those nights when I want something warm, comforting and delicious, but don’t want to invest a lot of time into it. It’s the perfect weeknight throw […]
Jerusalem Artichokes — also known as sunchokes — are one of the vegetables I get most excited about when Fall comes, and in the next few weeks they’ll reach their peak. They’re so delicious when roasted with a little olive oil and sea salt, and when I have time to spend in the kitchen, they […]

If you ask me, there’s no better way to incorporate fresh ingredients and natural sweetness into your diet than with a refreshing, fully-loaded smoothie. Whether you turn to your blender (or Vitamix, or Magic Bullet) for your morning fuel or an afternoon pick-me-up, let the drink serve as your tool to achieving healthy New Years resolutions (remember […]

I’ve finally faced the facts that I, for one, cannot live on liquids alone (sayonara, juice cleanse!)… but I do think there’s something to be said about giving our bodies a digestive break and tapping into the healing properties of a liquid meal once in a while. Of course, when temps are as chilly as […]
It’s sixty degrees in Austin today……but I’m standing with all you readers experiencing winter storms this weekend, editing my book in front of a cozy fire with a cup of hot cocoa in hand. Claire and I will also be doing some work on our new office remodel; the wood floors are down, now the […]
We love the clean-slate feeling of a new year — that peaceful post-holiday calm that allows us to reflect inward on our own private goals. Personally, I’m a big resolution-maker. I believe that the simple act of writing something down makes it more likely to happen. As we prepared for this post, it was fun […]
Haylie Duff is a girl who seems to have it all… yet somehow manages to stay completely down to earth, unpretentious and downright fun. She’s already a triple threat talent (actress, musician and food blogger) and now she’s just added the title of “cookbook author” to her resume with the recent publication of The Real […]
Growing up, a family trip to the farmers market was always a highlight of the weekend. I’d always enjoyed helping out in the kitchen, but being allowed to pick out colorful, vibrant vegetables with my own two curious hands instilled a whole new meaning in my cooking experimentation. These days, though I’m not a vegetarian, […]

These days I do most of my […]
