I’ve been blending up this ethereal dip quite frequently lately, and I thought it was high time I shared this simple yet flavorful recipe. Or any recipe, for that matter! It’s been 9 months since Max was born and 4 months since we moved, and I am still trying to get back into some semblance…

Salted Oatmeal, Walnut + Chocolate Chunk Cookies
These are my holy grail of chocolate chip cookies. I think I have finally achieved that perfect harmony of flavor and texture. The cookies have crisp edges with a swoon-worthy soft interior, and each toothsome bite is filled with buttery-nutty-salty-sweet flavor and studded with dark chocolate chunks. Chunks are the way to go, of course….
Strawberry Probiotic Smoothie Bowl with Oats + Almond Butter
I’m not usually a smoothie-for-breakfast type of person. A smoothie rarely feels substantial enough in the morning, and I tend to favor hearty, warm foods to start the day. But when the temperatures top 90, the humidity is overwhelming and the heat index might as well be a billion degrees, smoothies are what I crave….
Pickled Ramps, Rhubarb and Radishes, aka Spring, Preserved
My affinity for all things pickled remains constant, whether pregnant or not. But, being pregnant, my cravings for pickles are borderline obsessive — frantic, even. Yes, it’s very cliche. And very real! I am also obsessed with spring produce, so I merged two of my loves by pickling some of my favorite seasonal vegetables. Why…
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…
Curried Sweet Potato Hummus
Happy Friday! I wanted to pop in and share the recipe for this Curried Sweet Potato Hummus — a delicious dip perfect for noshing on while watching the Oscars. Have you seen any of the movies? This year, I am embarrassed to admit I have seen NONE. Not even one! The last movie I saw…
Chocolate Covered Almond Stuffed Dates, aka “Hot Dates”
I thought I’d pop in with these insanely easy chocolate covered almond stuffed dates. I realized today that Valentine’s Day is next week, and I have not posted a recipe to mark the occasion! The time is flying, and I cannot say I am mad as I look out at the dreary freezing rain pelting…
Cranberry Cardamom Spelt Loaf + Orange and Vanilla-bean Glaze
I love Thanksgiving morning. I think I quite prefer it to the main event. I simply love the coziness of it – the sheer joy of lazing around in your pajamas on a Thursday morning, idly watching the parade and looking forward to an entire day centered on eating and being with family. What could…
Sunflower Berry Crumble Bars – Vegan, Gluten-free + Nut-free
These are my back-to-school inspired berry crumble bars. Rose started “school” last week – by which I mean she started a 3 hour enrichment program, one day per week. But still! It seems like a big deal, and I may or may not have built it up in my head until I was oddly emotional…
