*editor’s note: While Camille is taking some time to enjoy her new bundle, we’ve invited a few of our favorite foodies to stop by and share their most loved seasonal recipes. First at bat is our dear friend, photographer, and gardener extraordinaire, Kate LeSueur… Potatoes are here (!!!), and their arrival is a big reason why I love […]
Happy long weekend, darlings! The forecast is calling for a grey, rainy Memorial Day around here, but I don’t mind: all we have on the agenda is hunkering down with our new babe, visiting with family and friends who stop by, and probably binge-ing on our latest HBO addiction, Veep. This first week with Henry has […]
For most of us, half the battle of clean eating lies is making sure that healthy food is always conveniently close at hand. Let’s face it: when we’re craving an afternoon snack, we’re probably not going to wash and cut veggies for a salad when it’s so much easier to reach for the cupcakes sitting on the counter. […]
A couple of weeks ago, I had a business meeting at a coffee shop and decided to order scrambled eggs with buttered toast. Such a simple, satisfying breakfast, right? Yet while I sat eating it, I started feeling this nagging sense that maybe I should be fueling up with something a little… cleaner. Visions of kale smoothies, avocado on […]
Once I learned the importance of brightening up my meals with as many color-rich vegetables as possible, my attention zoned in on all greens. I wish I could credit this shift to their great taste, endless recipe potential and nutritional bragging rights, but the truth is — at age 5, when I found out my […]
Seems like there’s always a new “it” superfood popping up in the news, from bee pollen to spirulina to chia seeds. But what’s the element that makes a so-called superfood… truly super? Since there’s truth to the saying that “you are what you eat,” my definition is a fresh, whole food that’s naturally bursting with vitamins and minerals, […]
Buckwheat soba noodles are my current jam. I never really cooked with them until recently when I started experimenting with some Asian noodle-y dishes, and now I can’t get enough. Their heartiness can stand up to all kinds of raw and cooked vegetables, and since they’re bursting with nutty flavor, they really don’t need the cheese […]
If your mom is anything like mine, her drinking habits are… well, minimal. No matter the occasion, you can bet that her first glass of wine will be her last, and shortly thereafter it’s straight to bed (no shame mom, we both know that’ll likely be me in a few years.) That being said, there’s no […]
Like many families, most of our favorite traditions center around food: planning meals together, making them, and then of course – sitting around the table eating them. If there’s one recipe that represents family togetherness most to me, it would undoubtedly be my mom’s almond kringle that she’s made for holidays ever since I was […]
The first signs of spring are finally showing up here on the East Coast — and one of my favorites is the fresh rhubarb that’s suddenly available! After a long winter where citrus were the only in-season fruits, I’m ready for something bright and juicy. This oatmeal is the perfect simple breakfast bowl to remind you […]
Will it waffle? I’m only now discovering what an important question this is. I love discovering new uses for my kitchen tools—the slow cooker, the pressure cooker, the blender, and the rice cooker have all been the source of new culinary discoveries this year. But what about the waffle iron? A quick internet search led […]
When hosting a Cinco De Mayo fiesta, I think we can all agree that the key to success boils down to one ingredient…the cocktails! While there are plenty of staples that are almost required at a fiesta party…. chips and guac (or this healthy queso), a festive sombrero, Mexican embroidered dresses, even paper picados (make your own with this […]
