[originally published November 2014] So, we’re 1 week out.. And what are you bringing to the table this year? Lots of fall veggies and real food dishes? Check. And a little bit of the things that you LOVE [even those that are not nutrient dense]? Like wine. And….. maybe another glass of wine. Or the […]

I have this thing (especially in the fall and winter) where I’m allergic to plates. I mean, everything is just better in a bowl. Salads, where the dressing gets cradled and you don’t have to stab. Soups. Roasted Veggies. Um. Spiralized noodles. Mini Meatballs. Desserts. Snacks. Or, the best possible situation– random combinations of leftover […]

Fall has this way of shimmering itself in. Softly. Lightly. And with a bit of sass, sometimes. Like your most fabulous friend, always a little late and disheveled, but everyone’s favorite to talk to. Fall is the season of back. Back to routines we know are good for us, back to a little more structure to […]

You know those days when you just want a big fat salad made for you? “Those days”. More like most days. A huge, overflowing GOOD one. That’s so satisfying and filling and you feel like you could just shoot up into the stars with your hand on your hip, all sassy and ready to dominate the world.. […]

Sometimes I laugh when I think about how I used to never eat meat, and now I am looking at this built in grill guide to get the best griller for my meat recipes. Because I thought it was healthier for me. It was only funny, because not once did I ever actually think about why […]

A few weeks ago, I had the lovely job of creating a line of amazing brunch recipes for my friends at Blueprint Registry (side note, for anyone that’s getting married, this company is AMAZING. They are changing the game for wedding registries, making it way easier to gather items that you love and will actually […]

You wanna know what’s crazy? This salad. Along with the Pesto Kale Salad, this is the dish that I make the most often in my kitchen (to eat myself), and bring everywhere, converting people to lentil lovers. It works, in case you were wondering. I actually can’t think of a party or dinner that I […]

So, it’s Summer. Ahh. YES. The season of barbecues, boating, traveling, camping, sunsets, grilling, concerts and hanging with friends and family until the sun slowly sets late at night. And food. The best, freshest food of all. And the season of freedom and ease. So, if you are anything like me, the last thing you want to […]

Brunch. Everyone’s excuse to get down to a dirty meal, early in the day. Maybe people love it so much because it almost feels rebellious. A little extravagant. Because at any other point in the week, it would be against the rules to eat like that. But answer me this, brunch peeps: how do you […]

I have strong feelings about this. A little warning before you read. Contrary to what you might think, I think there is a right and a not-so-helpful way to eat your veggies. Which is obnoxious, I realize, because eating veggies at all is a good thing, and something I would/should always encourage. And I do, mostly. […]

Flourless pancake batter that doesn’t require measuring spoons and 6 different jars of flours and starches? Oh, and that also has some substance and protein to it? Yes, please. I’m going to just say it. These pancakes will change your life. Or, at least your weekend routine (and energy). 2 Ingredient Wonders, really. One of […]

As we zoom in on the week of cookbook arrival, I’ve gotten a few questions from people on why I chose to do this project, and how exactly it worked to do it in under a year’s time. So, I thought it would be fun to take you all through my process, and share a little […]
