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…

Fig and Goat Cheese Pizza with Balsamic, Onion + Rosemary
A fig is the perfect encapsulation of late summer — sweet, juicy and practically bursting with ripeness — with a richly hued palette that hints at the season to come. Figs beg to be paired with contrasting flavors like sharp cheese, tangy yogurt or a simple sprinkle of salt, all of which bring the delicate…
Baked Cod with Spinach, Shallots + Sun-dried Tomatoes
Weeknight dinners have been a struggle lately. Between unpacking from the move, fighting what seems like the tenth cold of the season and wrangling two needy little humans, meal prepping has been relegated to the proverbial back burner. No pun intended. 6 pm rolls around all too quickly these days, and I often find myself…
Coconut Creamed Kale with Sundried Tomatoes + Crispy Chickpeas
The first official day of summer is in a couple days, and I probably should be sharing one of my more “summer-y” recipes. But I have been craving this dish lately and decided it was time to share, despite what the calendar says. In its defense, the zippy flavors feel quite at home in this…
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!)…
Creamy Roasted Cauliflower + Meyer Lemon Soup with Crispy Kale and Mushrooms
Happy New Year! I hope you had a wonderful holiday filled with happiness and love, and that your 2018 is off to a bright start. I must admit, I am moving at a snail’s pace getting back into the swing of things. I had grand plans to return from the holidays with energy and creativity…
Kabocha Squash Soup with Apple, Miso + Almond Butter
Soup season is upon us – at least according to the calendar, if not the weather. I’ll be here wearing my turtlenecks and slurping soup, despite the 80 degree temps. I refuse to let such minor details put a damper on my favorite season. Least of all my love for all things squash. If…
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…
Smoky Lentil Sloppy Joes
I love that certain foods are time capsules with the ability to transport you back to a moment in time. Beyond the familiar taste and smell of the food itself, there is the rare, special dish that gives me this warm, comforting feeling of reliving mundane moments from a day-day-to-day life that has all but…
