avocado soup

Spinach Avocado Soup with Salsa Verde

August 26, 2015

I'm sorry. I'm sorry that it's the very end of August, and I only discovered this soup last week. It was in an old issue of Better Homes & Gardens that was on the coffee table at the beach house we rented in Rhode Island. I had a hunch it would be delicious, so I copied it onto a scrap of ...

broccoli caesar salad

Vegan Broccoli Caesar Salad Slaw

August 24, 2015

We just got back from a week of vacation on the South Shore of Rhode Island. We had such a great time at the beach, and Owen was obsessed with the carousel in Watch Hill (which happens to be a stone's throw from Taylor Swift's modest seaside retreat). I actually managed to be pretty healthy this ...

basil ice cream

Basil Ice Cream with Mint and Chocolate

August 20, 2015

When I first bought my ice cream machine, in 2008, things got a little bit crazy. It was just so easy to convince myself that I was making something healthy. It's only milk and eggs! I thought. All natural! Before I knew it, Alex and I had devoured quarts of bourbon vanilla, maple walnut, and ...

Plum Quinoa Smoothie

August 18, 2015

This is a super quick post.  We are at the beach in Rhode Island this week. We are stuffing ourselves with seafood (clam cakes and Rhode Island clam chowder!) and Owen is loving swimming in the ocean.  Sorry I don't have more photos of this yummy plum quinoa smoothie for you! I actually ...

homemade bloody mary

Fresh Tomato Bloody Mary

August 14, 2015

Last week I drank an entire pitcher of bloody marys.* Seriously, I don't mean to toot my own horn, but this recipe is one of my best yet. I've never been a Mrs. T's mix person (except when I'm on an airplane), but when I've made bloody marys in the past, I've always used bottled tomato juice. I ...

quinoa frittata

Two Yolk Apple Quinoa Frittata

August 12, 2015

You guys, I realized that I've been holding out on you. I like to think that I post "real" food on my blog--the same dishes that my family eats for dinner, the same cookies we treat ourselves to for dessert. And that's definitely true. But there are also things we eat all the time that I have never ...

peach bread salad

White Bean Peach Panzanella

August 10, 2015

I really love the concept of a bread salad, don't you? I mean, I can certainly appreciate the value of a gluten-free meal as much as the next health conscious person. But every now and again, let's get down to it and eat a big bowl of bread. I take the train into Manhattan twice a week for work. ...

Cold Cucumber Soup

Cucumber Buttermilk Soup

August 6, 2015

I considered calling this Alex's Worst Nightmare Soup, but I decided that for SEO purposes, it wasn't a good idea. Just kidding. Sort of. Much to my disappointment, my husband is not a fan of either cucumbers or buttermilk. He picks the cucumbers out of all my salads and leaves them languishing on ...

Zucchini Noodles with Pesto 2

Zucchini Noodles with Jalapeño Pesto

August 4, 2015

I scoffed. I made fun. I dug in my heels. And then two weeks ago I caved and bought a spiralizer. I know I'm late to the game. The Internet has been making zucchini noodles for ages now. But honestly, it's taken me this long to get on board with the whole concept. For one, I'm not a huge pasta ...

Limoncello Sangria

July 31, 2015

This is my 100th blog post! I almost didn't notice, but last week I was doing some updates and realized that I was at 97. So of course, I had to plan something celebratory for today.    But before we get to this week's drink, how about some fun links from around the web to help kick ...
