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…
Spiced Pumpkin Snack Cake with Vegan Maple Cream Cheese Frosting – Gluten-free + Dairy-free
Hello! I’m casually popping in the day before Thanksgiving to share this pumpkin cake with you. Because with a toddler and a newborn, that is how I operate these days — last-minute and slightly frazzled. If you’re in need of a last minute T-day dessert, let this be a contender. It is quick and foolproof,…
Baked apple oatmeal with crunchy nut topping + vegan caramel drizzle
This baked oatmeal is like the dressed up weekend version of my favorite weekday oatmeal. I have some sort of oatmeal or porridge every day during the week, so when the weekend comes around I usually favor eggs or pancakes. Something that feels a bit more special and celebrates the fact that it is in…
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…
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…
