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…

Pickled Ramps, Rhubarb and Radishes, aka Spring, Preserved
My affinity for all things pickled remains constant, whether pregnant or not. But, being pregnant, my cravings for pickles are borderline obsessive — frantic, even. Yes, it’s very cliche. And very real! I am also obsessed with spring produce, so I merged two of my loves by pickling some of my favorite seasonal vegetables. Why…
Salted Cacao Buckwheat + Hazelnut Granola
Part dessert, part breakfast, part whatever you want it to be — this nourishing chocolate granola pretty much satisfies your every need. During my first trimester, I had a complete aversion to all things chocolate. Really, I couldn’t even think about chocolate. But now, at 23 weeks (how!?!?) my chocolate-loving self is back in full…
Curried Sweet Potato Hummus
Happy Friday! I wanted to pop in and share the recipe for this Curried Sweet Potato Hummus — a delicious dip perfect for noshing on while watching the Oscars. Have you seen any of the movies? This year, I am embarrassed to admit I have seen NONE. Not even one! The last movie I saw…
The Creamiest Nut Milk + The Crunchiest Buckwheat Granola, with Roasted Cranberries
I have been meaning to share this recipe for weeks, with the idea that this granola would make a a lovely homemade hostess gift for the holiday. Well, here we are 4 days before Christmas and I am scrambling! If you could only see the chaotic mess behind the scenes of my seemingly serene and…
Cranberry Cardamom Spelt Loaf + Orange and Vanilla-bean Glaze
I love Thanksgiving morning. I think I quite prefer it to the main event. I simply love the coziness of it – the sheer joy of lazing around in your pajamas on a Thursday morning, idly watching the parade and looking forward to an entire day centered on eating and being with family. What could…
Pumpkin, Banana + Molasses Bread with Spelt Flour
I made this bread two days ago without the intention of sharing it. I had a few over-ripe bananas and an open can of pumpkin sitting in my fridge, beckoning to be made into something. Pumpkin bread seemed like the obvious choice, albeit not very original. But, Google tells me that the autumnal equinox in…
Spinach, Banana + Buckwheat Muffins
I am always on the hunt for portable breakfasts or snacks that are healthy and satisfying for BOTH Rose and me. I am not a huge fan of kiddie packaged foods or recipes that are often low on flavor and not all that pleasing to adult palates (or any palates, for that matter). If I…
Oatmeal + Spelt Chocolate Chip Cookies
I cannot believe I haven’t shared the recipe for these cookies yet. This was one of the first recipes I “developed.” I use that term lightly, as basically this recipe casually evolved to what it is over the course of many, many batches of cookies I made during law school years ago. My quest to…
Ways to Pack Greens into Your Toddler’s Diet + Green Smoothie Recipe
You’ve heard me say it before – Rose eats what we eat. Of course, this isn’t always possible, and one of the main conundrums has been dark leafy greens such as kale, spinach or chard. They are packed with nutritional benefits and a huge part of my diet, but they are hard for babies and…
