delicious seasonal eats
The other day a dear friend came over to my apartment to spend the morning with me. She was interested in seeing how I work – the creative process of developing a recipe through styling and photographing. The way I work is a bit scattered and improvisational at times and I certainly gave her a […]
I’m always surprised at what my kids will and won’t eat. Pumpkin cookies, muffins, cakes, waffles and pancakes are things they can’t get enough of. As the mornings before school become chilly, there’s nothing better to fill up their little bellies than with these Whole Grain Gluten-Free Pumpkin Pancakes. They simply love them. And so […]
My husband and I shared this Loaded Raw Kale Salad yesterday for lunch. You guys, my life changed the day I first had a raw kale salad. I don’t remember the exact salad, but I remember thinking, “Oh, okay. I can do raw kale. It’s good.” It was like I could finally be a bona […]
Ah, the eggplant. To quote Mark Bittman in his book, The Best Recipes in the World, “There is nothing like a simply cooked dish of eggplant. One of the world’s most beloved vegetables and one that several cuisines–Italian, Turkish, and Indian, most notably–treat with near reverence.” Amen, Mr. Bittman, amen. I think Mr. Bittman’s […]
Peach Buttermilk Bread Pudding. Could there be a more perfect comfort food? I think not. It is nearly impossible to compete with my husband’s very favorite bread pudding, but this comes pretty close. Bread pudding has always been one of his favorites. Every so often I make something that’s just for him. We are working […]
Oh, man. I am really on a pizza kick lately. This Greek-Style Veggie Pizza is one that I really enjoyed making and eating. It’s so full of flavor it will knock you over! Basically it’s a Greek salad on top of a pizza crust. Can that ever be a bad thing? I think not. Let’s […]
We love Ratatouille in any shape or form. Lately it’s been in pizza form. And as with the original, it’s delicious! This is the third time I’ve made it and it never seems to get old. Ratatouille Pizza is just a fancy way of saying vegetable pizza, I suppose. I leave off the tomato sauce […]
I was in the Seattle area last week visiting with family. It was so wonderful to have a little break from the hectic summer. We moved in July. (Moving is such a nightmare!) Between that and traveling, I haven’t done as much cooking as I would have liked. It’s been nice to settle in some […]
Oh….hello. Just me with another summer ice cream recipe to ruin your diet. This Almond Cherry Chocolate Chip Ice Cream combines three of our favorite flavors in one creamy, decadent ice cream. Needless to say, it was a huge hit with my family. Local cherries are on right now and they are as delicious as […]
I want to marry this Coconut Lentil Soup with Lemongrass and Ginger. Sigh. It’s so incredible. I remember the first time I had Tom Kha Gai, or Thai Coconut Chicken Soup. I could not get enough of it. The combination of flavors was utter perfection. I was making it at home several times a week […]
