Be forewarned: these sweet and salty nuts are known to cause a complete lack of self-control. They will disappear at an alarming rate, leaving you slightly dazed and longing for more. I made them a few weeks ago as part of a Thanksgiving salad, and Nick and I ate half of them before they even…

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…
Little Plum Cakes with Almond + Millet
I adore plums. Each seductively hued fruit is a lesson in balance, with the tart and slightly bitter skin giving way to sweet flesh — a perfect harmony of flavor. Among summer stone fruits, they are perhaps the most challenging, with much of their flavor contained in the skin and ripening being a bit of…
White Bean + Artichoke Hummus
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…
