whole wheat blondies with carrots and blueberries

Whole Wheat Blondies with Carrots and Blueberries

July 29, 2015

By late this past Sunday afternoon, I was at a complete loss for what to do with Owen. We had already been to the park, the playground, and the pool that weekend, and earlier in the day we'd gone out for a pizza lunch and built a house out of a cardboard box for his Paw Patrol characters. I couldn't ...

Tomato Watermelon Gazpacho

July 27, 2015

I have an old email from April 2007 that always makes me smile. It's from my best friend from high school. She is helping me analyze my new relationship, and also giving me her recipe for gazpacho. What are girlfriends for, right? Sarah and I met on the first day of 9th grade. I was a new ...

Gluten-free oatmeal cookie

Gluten-Free Banana Sprinkles Skillet Cookie

July 23, 2015

Toddlers = overripe bananas, amiright? With an almost three-year-old in the house, bananas are a staple in our kitchen. Owen loves them, but he can never finish an entire bunch before they threaten to go bad. What to do? Bake, obviously. Since this is my first post on my new blog (check ...

Emeril’s Marinated Mushrooms

July 21, 2015

I've written before about how many, many of my cookbooks are stored in my mother-in-law's basement. I was down there earlier this week, and I'm not sure why, exactly, but I picked up a copy of Emeril's Potluck. Maybe it was nostalgia. When I was fresh out of college and working as an editorial ...

Rosemary Limeade

Cucumber Rosemary Limeade

July 17, 2015

Earlier this week, I listened to this fantastic interview with Sally McKenney from Sally's Baking Addiction. Her blog gets literally millions of hits every month, and it was really interesting to get a glimpse behind the scenes. I was so relieved to hear that of everything--recipe testing, writing, ...

vegan carrot orange sherbet

Vegan Carrot Orange Sherbet

July 14, 2015

Let's get something out of the way right off the bat here. I called it "sherbert" for years. Did you? No shame. Evidently, it's one of the most common mispronunciations out there. While we're at it, let's clear up the difference between sorbet and sherbet, too. Sorbet is fruit and sugar. Sherbet ...

Vegan caprese salad

Tomato Salad with Sweet Pea “Ricotta”

July 10, 2015

I have this weird little frustration with caprese salads. There is always too much cheese. The standard ratio is 50/50--one slice of mozzarella for every slice of tomato. But I feel like the cheese should act more like a creamy accessory to a platter of bright, summer tomatoes bursting with tart ...

Arugula Fig Salad with Maple Fig Dressing

July 7, 2015

Arugula + summer fruit = the best salad. Last year I was obsessed with arugula and chunks of watermelon with toasted pine nuts and ribbons of fresh basil. This year, I'm all about figs and walnuts. My college roommate, and one of my dearest friends, Caitlin, is from California, and she is ...

Kale Lemonade

Green Juice Lemonade

July 3, 2015

Happy 4th of July weekend! What are you up to? I'm making a red velvet ice cream cake with my 8-year-old niece tomorrow (her request). We're doing a two-layer cake with vanilla ice cream in the middle, and red, white, and blue sprinkles. It's going to be pretty outrageous. I don't know which one of ...

Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies with Millet

July 1, 2015

I do this weird thing whenever we get a babysitter. I bake cookies. I think I'm just so grateful to have the night off, and I want to make sure she is willing to come back. So I bake cookies and leave them on a plate on the counter, and I also fan all my magazines (US Weekly, ELLE, Food & Wine) ...
