One of my favorite things about cooking with veggies is that they are often more than they appear. Kale can become chips, leafy greens can swap in for bread, squash can become the base for pizza crust, and perhaps my…
It’s 6:00pm. You’re done at work and heading home, dreading the task of making dinner that lies ahead of you. You’re exhausted, you’re a little irritated (traffic/transit/the weather is just irksome today!), and you’re famished. The last thing that sounds…
In August, I experimented with a great protein powder to create a homemade energy bar – see that recipe here – and decided to see what else I could amp up with it. Today’s featured yumminess is another simple breakfast-inspired recipe that’s…
You may read this and think, “Eating this way is ridiculous. You’re on vacation. You’re missing out (and overcomplicating things) by not just eating what’s there. A little gluten/ a little meat/ a little dairy won’t kill you.” And I…
So, this one time (last Sunday), I tried to make gnocchi. It did not work. I think – on account of not using a gluten-y flour, or enough binding – my little potato-almond butter pasta bits weren’t sturdy enough to…
When it comes to treats, they can do one of two things to the body: make us feel great for a short period, and then brutal for a long period (guilt, regret, shame, discomfort anyone?)or make us feel great for…
[This recipe is one in a series of posts I’ll be sharing from the I Quit Sugar Cookbook. If you’d like to be kept up to speed with all of them, please join our week mailing list — recipes and…
Spaghetti nights were a hit in my house growing up (although, in my personal opinion, rotini was always the superior noodle). Not only was it a quick meal for my busy mama to make, but it was filling and fun…
Crisper Guilt [noun]: the feeling you get when you realize there are veggies slowly withering away in the fridge, thanks to a busy week, few nights at home, and even fewer occasions to prepare produce, even though you bought it all…
If you grew up detesting peas, this might be the dish that starts a new love. The ingredients are tremendously springy, too! This is my next foray into the I Quit Sugar Cookbook – quite possibly my new favorite thing, and…
Apparently winter has descended on NYC again, so until Mother Nature finds her springtime rhythm, let’s embrace the opportunity to eat the last of the winter produce! I’ve been saving this recipe in the back end of the blog for…
It’s a [very] untraditional looking little Easter egg, no? I’m not much of an Easter chocolate or Easter baking kind of gal. Hot cross buns and Cadbury Creme Egg cupcakes aren’t really on my radar these days. Coconut, however, absolutely…

Cooking with citrus. Who knew. I was inspired by the citrus recipe contest over at The Chalkboard Magazine and crafted up this little ditty on Sunday night — turns out, cooking with grapefruit is kind of cool! It’s also a…

Finding great breakfast options can be tricky, hey? Here’s a few reasons I hear all the time (and believe me, I’m with you!) 1. I have no time in the morning.2. I’m not sure what we’re hungry for first thing,…
This weekend, we had some great friends over for dinner to reconnect after holidays and talk about what’s coming up in the new year. I love when we have adventurous eaters over dinner: it means I get to go a…
Sharing a quick post today with a simply delicious, warming curry recipe! Conveniently, it’s brought to you by the letter ‘C’: for cauliflower, curry spice, and chickpeas. There’s also some cardamom and cloves in here, but who’s looking that closely? …
It’s Meatless Monday! Woohoo! It’s a great reason to explore some plant-based eating, and to omit animal products for the day. It’s easier than it sounds (and super delicious, especially with recipes like this one…) Today’s recipe is one that…
Squash might just be the best veggie ever. Okay, I can’t say that. All veggies are awesome and wonderful in their own way! But really: squash is incredibly delicious and makes any meal feel a little luxurious. They’re packed with…
Alright. This recipe is a game changer. If your family – or friends or roommates or dog or whoever – has been hesitant about your foray into plant-based eating, this is the recipe that will get them on board. Vegan Mexican…
Seeds make an excellent portable snack. Not only are they delicious, they pack an incredible punch of many things our bodies need to function well. Sunflower seeds in particular include: essential fatty acids (essential for brain, nerve, and circulatory health)…
The Vegan Month of Food continues! Today’s post is a quick one to show just how easy it is to create awesome meals with just a few all-plant ingredients. (As a bonus, you get to make vegan parmesan, which keeps…
If you’ve never tried kelp noodles, I highly recommend. They are a seaweed-based raw alternative to regular pasta (read: gluten-free, non-starchy, all delicious). While many people get their daily intake of iodine from eating dairy or processed, refined foods containing iodized…
