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…
Mains
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
Fig and Goat Cheese Pizza with Balsamic, Onion + Rosemary
A fig is the perfect encapsulation of late summer — sweet, juicy and practically bursting with ripeness — with a richly hued palette that hints at the season to come. Figs beg to be paired with contrasting flavors like sharp cheese, tangy yogurt or a simple sprinkle of salt, all of which bring the delicate…
