A recipe inspired by the Winter Meal Plan. And my new favorite January snack. Because simple + “barely a recipe” are my jam. And maybe welcomed now more than ever, after wrapping up the glittery, swoon-filled and fancy holidays. I just want back to my simple and easy. To good, clean food. That’s satisfying. And […]

Special breakfasts and brunches in are a rarity around here. I’m much more of a dinner girl myself. Snow days, holidays, or winter weekends away might be the only exception. And, tis the season. A cozy little slow roll into the day, sipping coffee and great tea and just being with each other. The sweet […]

Yuuup. Back with Round 2. I blame it on the scary proximity to my house. Seriously. I have more of a problem restraining myself from a casual 3 block stroll to Trader Joe’s, than I do passing by the beautiful hand foraged doughnut shop, organic coffee + pastry shop, and brick fired oven pizza restaurant […]

This is my version of party food. Dinner party food. Even if a dinner party is just you and New Girl. Or because it’s Tuesday. Or that you just want to be a little fancy. Or, because you just bought the The Simply Real Health Cookbook and can’t wait to try some of the dinner recipes. […]

I call it a tweener. The [not awkward] time between summer and fall. If only my own growing up years had been as easy. And seamless. And nice to look at. Where one thing easily flows to the next. Like when peaches and tomatoes are ripe and sweet and falling off of the vines, the […]

Ignorance ain’t bliss all the time. Especially if food is involved. Eating healthy is great………..if you know what you’re doing. Not just THINK you know what you’re doing. But REALLY know. Like eating truly healthy food [aka,real food, whole food, naturally occuring food] vs food that is marketed to you as being so. Because the […]
