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…
Curried Chickpea Salad Lettuce Cups with Apricot + Avocado
Hello! Isn’t summer just sneaking up on us? All of a sudden, my ghostly pale legs are coming out of hiding and I’m seeing strawberries at the farmer’s market. We’re in that sweet early June phase when the mornings are still cool and the days are on the verge of getting hot, soon to be…
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 Vegan tomato, White Bean and Rosemary Soup
And we’re back to tomato soup weather. After a brief flirtation with balmy 75 degree sunny days, we have abruptly returned to February’s specialty — 40 degrees and rainy. Lovely. To say I’m over it is an understatement, but I am not over soup! Particularly, this creamy vegan tomato, white bean and rosemary soup. There…
Brown Rice + Charred Broccoli Grain Bowl with Cucumber, White Beans, Egg and Miso Dressing
A grain bowl is my ideal lunch these days. It is filling, comforting, can be served hot or cold and it provides an opportunity to pack in a variety of flavors and textures (read: the contents of my fridge). I also love how a grain bowl really soaks in a dressing, in a way that…
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…
Pasta with Roasted Delicata Squash + Creamy Sage and Arugula Pesto – Gluten-Free and Dairy-Free
I can sum up my love for delicata squash in two words: no peeling. That’s right – its skin is tender and edible. You get all of the autumnal, squashy goodness without the trouble of peeling it. And without the risk of chopping your hand off. Does any one else get slightly terrified every time…
