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,…

Buckwheat Banana Blender Pancakes — Gluten-free
Happy weekend! I thought I would pop back in after an (unintentionally) extended break with a recipe for these buckwheat blender pancakes — my go-to pancake recipe of late. How’s your summer going? We just got back from a glorious two week vacation in Michigan. It’s a place synonymous with summer for me, with long…
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…
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…
Buckwheat Maple Banana Bread — Gluten-free + Dairy-free
I’ve been on a bit of a buckwheat kick lately. I’ve always loved buckwheat pancakes (who doesn’t?), but this past year I’ve really broadened my buckwheat horizons. Buckwheat porridge, buckwheat granola, buckwheat grain salads, buckwheat cake — I can’t get enough. I love buckwheat’s earthy and slightly bitter (in a good way) flavor. Buckwheat is…
Herby New Potatoes + Asparagus with Lemon and Ghee
I totally meant to post this recipe in time for Easter last weekend — it would have made the perfect side for Easter brunch. Alas, life (read: two-year-old Rose) got in the way and I didn’t get around to it. BUT I am actually glad, because I wouldn’t want to pigeon-hole this recipe to one…
Strawberry Almond Olive Oil Cake — Grain-free + Dairy-free
Hello, spring! While rhubarb and ramps have yet to make their appearance in my area (my personal judge of spring’s arrival), I am definitely in a springtime mood. This winter seemed to stretch on to eternity, so it is time for a change. High 40 degree temps? The standards are low this year, but I’ll…
Spring Minestrone Soup with Lemon + Miso
It’s officially spring. Aaaaand very much still soup season here. Is Mother Nature punishing us for the abuse she’s endured this year? I mean, I can’t say I blame her. But four snow storms in two weeks seems rather excessive. Mother Nature, I can’t speak for our government, but I will do right by you,…
Cream of Millet Porridge + Caramelized Bananas
Did you have Cream of Wheat as a kid? Remember that bright red box of heavily processed wheat that delivered the creamiest bowl of porridge in 2.5 minutes? I adored having Cream of Wheat with milk, honey, a little butter and a pinch of cinnamon and salt. I developed my penchant for a sprinkle of…
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…
