Happy New Year! I hope your new year (and decade) is off to a relaxed start. Do you set New Year resolutions? I have never been one to start the new year with a punishing dietary regimen or workout protocol, but I do like to reset with nourishing food, a new planner and some gentle…

Stuffed Acorn Squash with Quinoa, Chickpeas + Maple Tahini Dressing
This Stuffed Acorn Squash with Quinoa, Chickpeas and Maple Tahini Dressing would be a welcome addition to your Thanksgiving menu. Call me crazy, but it is the type of dish to which I am most drawn on this holiday of beige food. I have nothing against beige food, per se — I love silky mashed…
Curried Chickpea Salad Lettuce Cups with Apricot + Avocado

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…
