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…

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 Watermelon Popsicles with Strawberry + Coconut
As I write, the heat index outside is an oppressive 94°, so it seemed like an ideal time to share these Creamy Watermelon Popsicles.

Salted Cacao Buckwheat + Hazelnut Granola

Golden Immunity Smoothie with Citrus, Pineapple and Turmeric
This was my first full winter as a mom. During the past few months, I experienced anew the many joys of the season – the first snowfall, Christmas, the insane cuteness of a snowsuit, the difficulty of wrangling a toddler into a stroller + stroller muff + rain cover while wearing said snowsuit, and colds…so. many. colds. I feel like…
