Salad is my favorite food, I think. I eat salad almost every single day. I even wrote a salad guide on Make and Takes a few years ago. I like to think I’m somewhat of an expert, you see. Salads are one of the best ways to fit in all your leafy greens, and as […]
White Beans with Carrot and Radish Top Gremolata and Pan-Roasted Root Veggies
That was a mouthful to type! I kinda have a penchant for beans–especially white beans. I kinda just love them a lot. For awhile I’ve been wanting to make some braised beans with gremolata. I was going to use kale and parsley from my garden and I never got around to it. If you’ve never […]
Cilantro Citrus Chicken
(This is a repost from my archives with updated with new pictures, commentary, new additions to the recipe. Hooray! It’s perfect for Cinco de Mayo.) I was going through old issues of Cooking Light magazine and found a recipe for Cilantro Citrus Chicken that I had marked as something I wanted to make. We really […]
Pizza with Caramelized Onions, Mushrooms, Sausage and Fresh Arugula
So I finished a juice fast last week. Ten days. High-five internet friends! Do you know what I craved when I was juicing? Not pizza. I craved curry. Lots of spicy curry. And anything with salsa on top. When I started eating solid food again, I craved juice. Crazy, right? My husband was a little […]
Radishes with Vegan Coconut Butter
So…the original recipe for the Vegan Coconut Butter is titled “coconut margarine.” I don’t want to call it that because the word conjures up bad images of the toast of my childhood. This ain’t even close to margarine. It melts on your tongue–just like dairy butter, only with an ever-so-slight coconut flavor. I can’t remember […]
Wilted Arugula Salad
Can we just talk about how much I love arugula? SO much. Can we also talk about how excited I was to get a bag of arugula with my CSA share last week? Even more. Happy, happy, happy. For once I decided to forgo the sun-dried tomatoes and white beans I usually eat with arugula. […]
Have You Tried: Arugula
I really love arugula, so when my CSA share came with a bag of two different kinds, I was ecstatic. I planted some in my garden, but it’s still very tiny. I’ve been craving arugula all winter long. If you haven’t tried arugula, you’re in for a treat. It’s incredibly flavorful–kind of peppery, but distinct. […]
Orange Miso Vinaigrette
One ingredient that I see over and over again in my vegan cookbooks is miso. As a kid I hated miso with a passion. Could not stand it. We had a Japanese girl living with us for a year and she would often make miso broth. I tried it several times, but never could enjoy […]
Tiny Toes and Tiny Kitchen Memories.
This is one of my very favorite pictures. I took it when my oldest was not even two years old. The sun was streaming through the window into the kitchen of our 2nd floor apartment in the NYC suburbs. She was enjoying breakfast, if I remember correctly. Probably oatmeal with blueberries. The crazy chair is […]
Blueberry Lavender Ice Cream
{This is from the archives with newly edited pics. Perfect for Spring and Summer, don’t you think?} I miss the blueberries we picked on the East Coast. It was so magical for my little girl to run through the bushes and pick off the sweet blue globes and drop them into her bucket. She loved […]
