Happy 2019! My intention to hit the ground running in the new year with multiple posts per week was quickly derailed. So far, my new year has included traveling home from the holiday with an infant and a toddler, a painful neck spasm (likely from carrying said infant and all his accompanying gear), a family…

Chilled Cucumber + Avocado Soup with Miso
Hey there. How is August treating you? It is hot here — oppressively so. I think “swamp-like” provides an apt description. At 35 weeks pregnant, I’m pretty uncomfortable and moving very slooooooowly. I’ve reached the stage in pregnancy where my discomfort outweighs my anxiety over labor/impending responsibility for another tiny human, and I am ready…
The Creamiest Instant Pot Oatmeal — Sweet + Savory
Today I’m finally sharing one of my recipes that I make every week — the *creamiest* Instant Pot oatmeal. A bold claim, I know. It’s a simple recipe, but yields a far-from-basic oatmeal to serve as the most delicious blank canvas for all your wildest porridge topping dreams. Anyone else daydream about oatmeal toppings? Okay,…
Sheet-Pan Carrot, Apple + Ginger Soup
Yes, it’s almost May, and I’m still sharing soup! I’m a big soup person — truthfully, I could have it every day, no matter what the weather is. BUT this carrot soup has zippy, bright flavor that is totally spring-appropriate. This soup is one of my go-to recipes for when I want something quick, nourishing…
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,…
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…
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…
Blueberry-Purple Sweet Potato Smoothie with Tahini and Miso
I love to play sweet and savory flavors off of each other, and this smoothie is the perfect result of my oddball tinkering. While I do love a frozen banana based smoothie, I find it can be a little harsh on my stomach at times. Cauliflower, zucchini and/or sweet potato are great stand-ins, because they…
