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…
Salads
Spring Farro Salad with Arugula, Peas, Artichokes, Radishes, Mint, Goat Cheese + Roasted Shallot Dressing
Are you hosting any get-to-togethers this spring/summer? A Memorial Day fete, perhaps? This vibrant salad would be perfect! If I am hosting a party, I’d say 9 times out of 10 I’m serving some iteration of a farro salad. It’s one of my entertaining hacks for feeding a hungry crowd. Here’s my case for farro:…
Sheet Pan Salad with Carrots, Radishes, Fennel, Avocado, Feta + Creamy Tahini Mustard Dressing
Throw it on a sheet pan and roast it. This is often my weeknight dinner mantra when I have a refrigerator full of food from an overzealous grocery shopping trip, but very little energy left to expend on dinner. One sheet pan is easy to clean (and even easier if you line it with parchment!)…
Brown Rice + Charred Broccoli Grain Bowl with Cucumber, White Beans, Egg and Miso Dressing
A grain bowl is my ideal lunch these days. It is filling, comforting, can be served hot or cold and it provides an opportunity to pack in a variety of flavors and textures (read: the contents of my fridge). I also love how a grain bowl really soaks in a dressing, in a way that…
Roasted Cauliflower Salad + Radicchio, Meyer Lemon and Crispy Capers
How, oh how is Christmas next week? Once again the season is coming and going all too rapidly for my liking. There are still presents to be bought, cookies to be baked, movies to be watched, etc. etc. We are headed to Florida for our friends’ wedding this weekend, so all holiday preparations are currently…
Roasted Honeynut Squash + Pomegranate Gremolata
According to the calendar, it is November 11…how!? The holiday season is upon us, and it already feels like it is slipping away from me. Perhaps four straight weeks of stomach bugs, colds and flus has something to do with that – such is life when you are living with a human germ incubator, aka…
Kale, Apple + Crispy Lentil Salad with Ginger Almond Butter Dressing
This is likely the first post of many in the coming weeks involving apples. We went apple picking last weekend and opted for the 20 lb bag…and it’s a whole lot more apples than I anticipated. But, really, do you ever get sick of apples? I certainly don’t. Especially when the apples are organic, freshly…
Late Summer Salad w/ Figs, Blackberries and Sweet Potatoes + Roasted Shallot Dressing
This post is a salad recipe, but I will just say this upfront – it’s really about the dressing. To say that I am obsessed would be putting it mildly. I make this every week, and I may go weeks without making any other dressings. It is just that good. I cannot believe I have…
