I’ve been buying an insane amount of rhubarb, as is my habit with most hyper-seasonal produce. I get downright frantic about it, thinking each time will be my last time buying it for a whole year. Things I’m not good at: letting go. Things I am good at: baking with rhubarb. Until I buy the…

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…
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:…
Rhubarb, Orange + Ginger Muffins with Almond Streusel
I’ll just say this right upfront: these Rhubarb-Orange-Ginger Muffins might be my favorite muffins. Ever. I’ve made them three times in the last couple weeks, and I cannot get enough. They are a celebration of rhubarb (my favorite seasonal fruit), with vibrant flavor, a pop of color and a tender crumb. These muffins deserve a…
Herby New Potatoes + Asparagus with Lemon and Ghee
I totally meant to post this recipe in time for Easter last weekend — it would have made the perfect side for Easter brunch. Alas, life (read: two-year-old Rose) got in the way and I didn’t get around to it. BUT I am actually glad, because I wouldn’t want to pigeon-hole this recipe to one…
Strawberry Almond Olive Oil Cake — Grain-free + Dairy-free
Hello, spring! While rhubarb and ramps have yet to make their appearance in my area (my personal judge of spring’s arrival), I am definitely in a springtime mood. This winter seemed to stretch on to eternity, so it is time for a change. High 40 degree temps? The standards are low this year, but I’ll…
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,…
