Some version of this Broccoli + Goat Cheese Frittata has been on the menu every week lately. While homebound for the past 2+ months, I’ve honed my frittata skills and developed the strong conviction that fritatta is truly the perfect meal in the face of time and pantry constraints. It is comprised of simple and…

Quinoa with White Beans, Chicken Sausage + Kale
During these uncertain times, food is as much comfort as it is nourishment. It is a respite from the daily schedule (or lack thereof) and the barrage of bad news. If you are fortunate enough to be at home with your loved ones, cooking for them and coming together around the table is one of…
Pesto Turkey Meatballs with Goat Cheese Polenta
This recipe for Pesto Turkey Meatballs with Goat Cheese Polenta has been in weekly rotation in our house, so I though it was high time I shared it. I don’t share a lot of meat-centric recipes on this site. It’s not that I am trying to deceive anyone into thinking this is a vegan or…
Fennel, Orange and Avocado Salad + Oil-cured Black Olives
Winter citrus season comes at the perfect time every year, for those of us living through the never-ending gray of late winter. The sunny flavors of citrus hint at the season to come and serve as a reminder that winter will, in fact, end. Make this exceedingly simple Fennel, Orange and Avocado salad, and be…
Roasted Butternut Squash and Red Lentil Soup with Coconut + Crispy Kale
As much as I’d like to say spring is in the air and fill your screen with a verdant green dish teeming with abundance, here I am with another cozy bowl of orange soup. February is still very much a soup and stew month for me. It’s cold, it’s grey, we still don’t have a…
Blood Orange Cardamom Shortbread Cookies
There simply is no replacement for butter, sugar and all-purpose flour in certain recipes — chief among them, shortbread. I adore a good shortbread cookie and consider them important nourishment for my soul. Sometimes my body craves a buttery shortbread cookie, and far be it from me to deny it. It’s called wellness! These blood…
Balsamic Roasted Sweet Potatoes + Shallots with Yogurt
A few weeks ago, I found myself with guests coming over for dinner in a matter of hours and no menu planned. This was a highly unusual occurrence, as I am usually one to obsess over a dinner menu until it haunts my dreams. Luckily, I casually had two whole pasture-raised chickens on hand (as…
Spinach and Feta Stuffed Pita, aka Cheater’s Spanakopita
Of all the standard party appetizers, spanakopita bites get me the most jazzed. I have a 6th sense for these delectable morsels circling the room at any soiree and will bolt mid sentence to accost any person bearing a tray of them. I crave them — for their taste and perhaps for the transportive quality…
Creamy Oat Milk Hot Chocolate
I am sending you warming vibes with this steamy mug of oat milk hot chocolate. We’re in the frigid depths of winter (seemingly less frigid than it should be, though), with January and February stretching on to eternity. Does anyone else feel like this month is never-ending? I think we are all in need of…
Tomato Chickpea Stew with Coconut + Garam Masala
This Tomato Chickpea Stew with Coconut + Garam Masala is everything I want to eat right now: nourishing, yet indulgent; plant-based, yet hearty; warmly-spiced, yet kid-friendly. And it’s ready in under 30 minutes, because that’s about all I can manage these days. January is a minefield of fad diets, cleanses and all manner of punishment…
