I adore plums. Each seductively hued fruit is a lesson in balance, with the tart and slightly bitter skin giving way to sweet flesh — a perfect harmony of flavor. Among summer stone fruits, they are perhaps the most challenging, with much of their flavor contained in the skin and ripening being a bit of…
Food & Drink
Roasted Tomato, Shallot + Caper Confit
I’m not a raw tomato person. I know we’re in peak tomato season when it seems as though everyone is biting into giant tomatoes like apples, but that is not me. Sure, I’ll enjoy a hyper-seasonal heirloom tomato salad or I’ll tolerate raw tomatoes obscured in a veggie sandwich, but otherwise I much prefer them…
Marinated Lentils + Poached Eggs with Curried Yogurt
We just returned from our annual two week vacation in Michigan. I have been going there in the summer my whole life, and it’s my favorite place in the world (and quickly becoming my kids’). We’re definitely going through withdrawal. It’s a place synonymous for me with a sparkling cerulean lake peeping through the dune…
Cacao, Almond + Date Shake with Maca — Hormone Balancing
I had the rather shocking realization the other day that my body hasn’t been my own for over 4 years. Pregnant with Rose, breastfeeding Rose, straight into pregnant with Max and now breastfeeding Max. It’s awe-inspiring what a woman’s body can do, and I feel extremely grateful to experience it first-hand. But I’d be lying…
White Bean + Artichoke Hummus
I’ve been blending up this ethereal dip quite frequently lately, and I thought it was high time I shared this simple yet flavorful recipe. Or any recipe, for that matter! It’s been 9 months since Max was born and 4 months since we moved, and I am still trying to get back into some semblance…
Baked Overnight French Toast with Strawberries + Cream
This post is sponsored by Little Northern Bakehouse. All opinions are my own and all products are those I truly recommend. It’s spring (finally!), and I am looking forward to a season of entertaining in our new house. When entertaining, I prefer simple recipes that can be prepped ahead and easily feed a crowd. French…
Baked Cod with Spinach, Shallots + Sun-dried Tomatoes
Weeknight dinners have been a struggle lately. Between unpacking from the move, fighting what seems like the tenth cold of the season and wrangling two needy little humans, meal prepping has been relegated to the proverbial back burner. No pun intended. 6 pm rolls around all too quickly these days, and I often find myself…
Salted Oatmeal, Walnut + Chocolate Chunk Cookies
These are my holy grail of chocolate chip cookies. I think I have finally achieved that perfect harmony of flavor and texture. The cookies have crisp edges with a swoon-worthy soft interior, and each toothsome bite is filled with buttery-nutty-salty-sweet flavor and studded with dark chocolate chunks. Chunks are the way to go, of course….
Orange, Fennel, Sweet Potato + Avocado Salad with Miso-Tahini Dressing
Happy 2019! My intention to hit the ground running in the new year with multiple posts per week was quickly derailed. So far, my new year has included traveling home from the holiday with an infant and a toddler, a painful neck spasm (likely from carrying said infant and all his accompanying gear), a family…
Spiced Pumpkin Snack Cake with Vegan Maple Cream Cheese Frosting – Gluten-free + Dairy-free
Hello! I’m casually popping in the day before Thanksgiving to share this pumpkin cake with you. Because with a toddler and a newborn, that is how I operate these days — last-minute and slightly frazzled. If you’re in need of a last minute T-day dessert, let this be a contender. It is quick and foolproof,…
