delicious seasonal eats
Yesterday for lunch, with the help of my daughter, I made this gorgeous Arugula Salad with Blackberries and Chevre with Blackberry-Thyme Vinaigrette. I get pretty excited about salad. If you follow me on Instagram or Pinterest, you’ve probably noticed. :) As I’m typing this, I’m watching the branches from the large tree in my front […]
On Tuesday morning I was feeling particularly stressed out about all of the things I needed to accomplish this week. It’s been such a long week. I’m still behind on some freelance projects I’ve got going on. In the midst of all of this work stuff, I managed to completely forgot it was my son’s […]
Let’s talk about wilted salads. Do you like them or hate them? Does it depend on the leafy green you use? I love wilted salads–just barely cooking the greens with a quick stint in a hot pan or with a warm vinaigrette, or in this case, both. I made my foray into cooking with leafy […]
The spinach I’ve been getting in my CSA is gorgeous. It’s easy to find ways to eat up my leafy greens each week. One of my new favorite ways uses up a whole pound of fresh spinach in one go–Malfatti with Simple Tomato Sauce. Malfatti means “poorly made” in Italian. Or something like that. They […]
As promised, the recipe for the Layered Greek-Style Chickpea Salad. Truly, I haven’t met a chickpea salad I haven’t loved. But this one is the best I’ve ever made. I attribute that to all the goodies layered in the bowl with the chickpeas. Aren’t the layers pretty? It makes it look a little more special, […]
Pictures and text by Lindsey Rose Johnson. Vegetable rice rolls are one of my favorite go-to gluten-free snacks, lunches, dinners. They are so versatile–you can put practically anything inside those papery rice wrappers and call it good. I prefer mine chock full of raw veggies, and sometimes even some slices of fruit. Becoming gluten-free meant […]
Last summer I fell head over heels in love with cucumbers. I always loved pickles, but fresh cucumbers were not my favorite veggie. I think it was juicing and eating all of the cucumbers from my CSA that did it. I really love cucumbers in any form now. I love them raw in salads. Strawberries […]
Happy Pi Day! Celebrate with this tasty Herbed Goat Cheese Tart! I think this is the first year I have actually made a pie (tart) for 3.14. I was reminded last night when I popped into the grocery store for a few things for dinner and saw a stack of pies by the automatic doors. […]
Something I’ve been trying to do the last little while is sit down and enjoy my meals. I’m busy. (You are too.) And I find myself grabbing something quick (and sometimes not that healthy) on the run or between camera shots or errands or picking up kids from school. It’s paaaainful to sit down and […]
Fennel is in season right now and with it, my love affair continues. I just can’t seem to get enough of the crisp, fresh, anise-y flavor. I crave it. Months ago, my friend Adri told me about a traditional Italian salad that I have since made over and over and will never tire of making. […]
