Winter citrus season comes at the perfect time every year, for those of us living through the never-ending gray of late winter. The sunny flavors of citrus hint at the season to come and serve as a reminder that winter will, in fact, end. Make this exceedingly simple Fennel, Orange and Avocado salad, and be…

Roasted Butternut Squash and Red Lentil Soup with Coconut + Crispy Kale
As much as I’d like to say spring is in the air and fill your screen with a verdant green dish teeming with abundance, here I am with another cozy bowl of orange soup. February is still very much a soup and stew month for me. It’s cold, it’s grey, we still don’t have a…
Balsamic Roasted Sweet Potatoes + Shallots with Yogurt
A few weeks ago, I found myself with guests coming over for dinner in a matter of hours and no menu planned. This was a highly unusual occurrence, as I am usually one to obsess over a dinner menu until it haunts my dreams. Luckily, I casually had two whole pasture-raised chickens on hand (as…
Creamy Oat Milk Hot Chocolate
I am sending you warming vibes with this steamy mug of oat milk hot chocolate. We’re in the frigid depths of winter (seemingly less frigid than it should be, though), with January and February stretching on to eternity. Does anyone else feel like this month is never-ending? I think we are all in need of…
Vegan Caesar Salad with Hemp Seeds, Sourdough Croutons + Watermelon Radish
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…

Let this pear, blue cheese and pomegranate salad be your new go-to for festive occasions. It is exceedingly simple and allows a few beautiful ingredients to shine. Sweet, luscious pear contrasts with…
Creamy Cauliflower Soup with Kale Pesto and Rye Breadcrumbs
Cauliflower soup is like a hug in a bowl, with its silky texture and mild creaminess enveloping you in warmth and comfort. As winter approaches (all too rapidly) I crave foods that warm and nourish me from within, and this creamy cauliflower soup with kale pesto and rye breadcrumbs does just that. Make yourself a…
Creamy White Bean Soup with Butternut Squash + Kale
This weekend marks the return of daylight savings time and the first freezing temperatures of the season. I won’t even pretend to be upset, because I love these dark, cozy days (at least until March). I’m a homebody and introvert at heart, and I welcome the turn inward that this season encourages. It is soup…
Orange, Fennel, Sweet Potato + Avocado Salad with Miso-Tahini Dressing
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…
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…
