During these uncertain times, food is as much comfort as it is nourishment. It is a respite from the daily schedule (or lack thereof) and the barrage of bad news. If you are fortunate enough to be at home with your loved ones, cooking for them and coming together around the table is one of…

Pesto Turkey Meatballs with Goat Cheese Polenta
This recipe for Pesto Turkey Meatballs with Goat Cheese Polenta has been in weekly rotation in our house, so I though it was high time I shared it. I don’t share a lot of meat-centric recipes on this site. It’s not that I am trying to deceive anyone into thinking this is a vegan or…
Roasted Butternut Squash and Red Lentil Soup with Coconut + Crispy Kale
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…
Creamy Cauliflower Soup with Kale Pesto and Rye Breadcrumbs
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
Black Lentil, Bulgur, Butternut Squash + Kale Chili – Vegan
Happy Halloween! It is fitting I am sharing this veggie chili on Halloween, because it is a tradition of sorts for me. Growing up, my mom would make a big steaming pot of vegetarian chili every Halloween. My three sisters and I would come in at various times from trick-or-treating (or in my older, cooler…
Kale, Apple + Crispy Lentil Salad with Ginger Almond Butter Dressing
This is likely the first post of many in the coming weeks involving apples. We went apple picking last weekend and opted for the 20 lb bag…and it’s a whole lot more apples than I anticipated. But, really, do you ever get sick of apples? I certainly don’t. Especially when the apples are organic, freshly…
