A cookie you can feel great about eating for breakfast is my kind of cookie. Also in that category of things that are my jam– any cookie that actually comes out well enough that other people like it too. I’m not exaggerating. I have no shame about it. Baking is not my forte. All those rules […]

  If a sweet caramelized onion + a perfectly crunchy, roasted brussel sprout had a baby, this is what it would taste like. If that sounds like the best thing ever, you need to make this recipe ASAP. If it sounds like punishment, today is not your kind of post. But then again, this wouldn’t be your […]

Something funny happened to me today, as I leaned over my kitchen counter. Beginning to clean it, once again. It was around 1pm. I’d made a mess. A small, hurried one, but one that definately required a few minutes of rinsing and tidying in order before I could get back to work. I started thinking […]

  Ok, for real. Whether you’ve committed to eating healthier this year or not, you have to make this soup. A creamy, dairy-free cauliflower soup that really means this: veggies on veggies on veggies. Pureed ones mixed into cooked ones for the best stew-like texture. So you’ll feel full and awesome and energized. And yes, I know what […]

  There is something so magical about this time of year. People shift and stir. Dream. Declare. Pursue and re-imagine. We feel like we’ve been given a divine permission to bust through old habits, negative thoughts and other stagnation. Mentally, physically, relationally, emotionally and in all our roles in life. To be set free. To move […]

  True confession: in all the years past, Mondays were always my day to start my post weekend cleanse. Usually something extreme, like not eating dairy and grains and sugar and alcohol and meat or juicing straight until I felt a little like gumby. Something- if I’m being totally honest with you- that would make […]

It’s been about 3 years since I’ve been gluten-free [the root-cause cure for my out-of-nowhere, un-curable-by-medication, hypothyroidism]. People always ask me if I miss it, with a very concerned look on their face. No. Never, actually, I say. Because to be honest, nothing will ever taste as good as being medication free. And like I’m […]

I know you can picture it: the hazy, dreamy images of sipping hot coffee and cozying up in swaddles of soft blankets, with candles flickering, and a fire roaring. People reading, working. Sipping. Warm, cozy and perfectly content. As much as I’d love for that to be my reality, Winter can really suck my mojo if I […]

  When I first found this recipe [here], I kind of laughed. By myself. At my computer. A nerdy little chuckle. Pureed cashews? Yeah right. That’s going to be chunky and taste weird. Those vegans. My god. Their tastebuds are so clean, they think anything tastes good. Lucky ducks. But then, it started. The smarty pants […]

You know when you’d sit at the dinner table as a little kid and hear… Eat your vegetables. You have to eat your vegetables. Eat your vegetables… or else! No dessert. Like it’s some kind of punishment. It’s no wonder most of us have a terrible relationship to eating veggies. And that’s if you were […]
