Muesli may not sound very enticing, particularly amidst this season of indulgence. Maybe for you it is synonymous with a bowl of limp, raw oats, completely devoid of flavor. And fun. Well, this is decidedly not that muesli. I’m here to tell you that muesli can be exciting and crave-able and a breakfast you will…

Cranberry Crumble Bars with Ginger + Easy Cranberry Sauce
Happy Thanksgiving! I hope your holiday is filled to the brim with happiness, delicious food and complete agreement on politics. I have already been warned to keep political “discussions” (i.e. steamrolling) to a minimum. We shall see. I’m popping in today to share a delightful way to use up leftover cranberry sauce — these Cranberry…
Creamy Cauliflower Soup with Kale Pesto and Rye Breadcrumbs
Cauliflower soup is like a hug in a bowl, with its silky texture and mild creaminess enveloping you in warmth and comfort. As winter approaches (all too rapidly) I crave foods that warm and nourish me from within, and this creamy cauliflower soup with kale pesto and rye breadcrumbs does just that. Make yourself a…
Stuffed Acorn Squash with Quinoa, Chickpeas + Maple Tahini Dressing
This Stuffed Acorn Squash with Quinoa, Chickpeas and Maple Tahini Dressing would be a welcome addition to your Thanksgiving menu. Call me crazy, but it is the type of dish to which I am most drawn on this holiday of beige food. I have nothing against beige food, per se — I love silky mashed…
Creamy White Bean Soup with Butternut Squash + Kale
This weekend marks the return of daylight savings time and the first freezing temperatures of the season. I won’t even pretend to be upset, because I love these dark, cozy days (at least until March). I’m a homebody and introvert at heart, and I welcome the turn inward that this season encourages. It is soup…
Apple Crumb Muffins with Rye
We have yet to go apple picking this year, and time has all but run out. Perhaps this will be the weekend? Although with a steady supply of delicious farmers market apples and two kids with short attention spans, perhaps not. No matter the source of your apples — from the farm, the farmers market…
Pumpkin Pecan Energy Bites
I’m posting my first pumpkin recipe of the season, and it’s already mid-October. I’ve had grand plans to make multiple batches of pumpkin bread, my pumpkin snack cake and pumpkin cookies, but it’s been a busy month and my pumpkin baking adventures have fallen by the wayside. These Pumpkin Pecan Energy bites are perfect for…
Masala Lemon Chickpeas + Kale on Garlic Toast
In the spirit of helping you get dinner on the table on hectic weeknights, I plan on sharing more of the simple no-recipe recipes I make and strategies I employ on a weekly basis. Because weeknights can be a struggle, especially if you have small children who are not at their best during the witching…
Roasted Cherry Tomato Pasta with Ricotta
I know it’s October, and tomatoes are so last month, but my tomato plants are blissfully unaware of the impending cold. We have so many tomatoes right now we cannot keep up. This cherry tomato confit (delectable topper of all things) and this simple spaghetti have been on repeat, so I cannot complain. The beauty…
S’mores Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies + Smoked Sea Salt
Unfortunately, I went the entire summer without having a proper s’more. I’m not sure how that happened, although if I had to guess, it probably has something to do with two little humans with pre-sunset bedtimes. Now it’s the beginning of fall, and while I wait for the weather to get the memo, I’m looking…
