Lemon Meringue Sweet Potatoes

Lemon Meringue Sweet Potatoes

November 9, 2015

You know that sweet potato casserole you make every year for Thanksgiving? The super sugary one topped with mini marshmallows? I get that it's tradition and all that, but I have a better idea. It starts with roasted sweet potatoes whipped with nutmeg, fresh lemon juice and lemon zest, ...

Butternut Squash Pomegranate Smoothie

Butternut Squash Pomegranate Smoothie

November 6, 2015

My mom went through a phase of eating half a butternut squash for dinner. I must have been in middle school at the time. I remember it because she usually just ate whatever my brother and I were having (spaghetti), and then all of a sudden she started preparing something separately just for herself. ...

Raw Pad Thai with Spicy Almond Sauce

November 4, 2015

OMG you guys, this sauce. I ate so much of it off the spoon as I was prepping to photograph this dish that I was worried for a second that there wouldn't be enough left. Seriously, it is SO GOOD. Creamy almond butter, tart lime juice, fresh ginger and garlic, and tons of sriracha. When did ...

Healing Lemon Ginger Bone Broth

Healing Lemon Ginger Bone Broth

November 2, 2015

When you have a kid in daycare, you get sick. Like a lot. When Owen was five months old, and about eight weeks after he had started daycare, I woke up in the middle of the night sicker than I can ever remember. I was convinced I had food poisoning, and since we had invited a friend over for dinner ...

Honey Tangerine Whiskey Sour

Honey Tangerine Whiskey Sour

October 30, 2015

I have this vivid memory of making Midori sours with my friend Laura. We must have been 23 at the time. The drinks were electric green and required just three ingredients: Midori melon-flavored liquor, store-bought sour mix, and maraschino cherries.    The food snob in me now winces at ...

raw cauliflower couscous salad

Raw Cauliflower Couscous Salad with Za’atar

October 28, 2015

I generally avoid free food samples in Manhattan, because ew. The city is so crowded and dirty. How many hundreds of fingers have grazed that chunk of cookie or cube of cheese before mine? But a few months ago, a new cafe called The Juice Shop opened up right downstairs from my office. Most of the ...

Cranberry Orange Kefir Cake

Healthy Cranberry Orange Kefir Cake

October 26, 2015

I tried kefir once, 10 years ago, when another waitress at the wine bar I worked at brought some in and offered me a sip. I hated it, and for the next decade I never gave it a second thought. But tastes evolve, or maybe she just had a really gross kind? Because two weeks ago, standing in the ...

Brussels sprout slaw with meyer lemon and pomegranate

Shredded Brussels Sprouts with Meyer Lemon and Pomegranate

October 23, 2015

I adore roasted Brussels sprouts as much as the next veggie lover, but I think that it's important to remember that there are other ways to enjoy them besides blasting them at high heat and showering them with bacon bits. Brussels sprouts can be light, crunchy and refreshing! They can even be a ...

chocolate bark with pumpkin seeds and cranberries

Crispy Chocolate Bark with Pumpkin Seeds and Cranberries

October 21, 2015

Last year was Owen's first time trick-or-treating. It took him all of about three seconds to realize that EVERYONE WAS GIVING AWAY CANDY and he was off and running down the block, his general shyness and fear of strangers forgotten. It really was a joy to experience the holiday again though his ...

slow cooker ratatouille

Slow Cooker Ratatouille with Fried Eggs

October 19, 2015

I feel like there is a major conundrum with ratatouille. Yes, it's made with decidedly summery vegetables--eggplant, tomatoes, and zucchini--but it still seems to me like a cold weather dish. At its essence, ratatouille is a hearty vegetable stew, thick and chunky, and exactly the kind of thing you ...
