Two Yolk Apple 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 ...

Zucchini Bread Smoothie

Zucchini Bread Smoothie

June 19, 2015

Happy weekend! This Saturday we have back-to-back toddler birthday parties. Wish us luck. I joked to a friend that Owen is going to have a cake hangover. What are you doing for Father's Day? I'm giving Alex the morning to himself, and I'm planning to take Owen for a run in the jogging stroller. ...

Matcha Spinach Smoothie

May 15, 2015

I'm trying something new here, a regular feature called Links & Drinks. On as many Fridays as I can manage, I'll post a roundup of links to interesting articles, Internet finds, books, podcasts, and anything else I'm currently loving. I'll also post a drink recipe--sometimes a cocktail, ...

100% Whole Wheat Blueberry Muffins

100% Whole Wheat Blueberry Muffins

May 12, 2015

Last Saturday my parents came to visit. Their train was late, and while I was waiting I decided to pop into this cute little bakery by the station for a cup of coffee. They always have a really nice selection of healthy(ish) baked goods, like oatmeal breakfast cookies and gluten-free scones. That ...

Orange Polenta Cakes with Strawberry Balsamic Sauce

Orange Polenta Cakes with Strawberry Balsamic Sauce

April 1, 2015

Last month Alex and I spent a weekend in Philadelphia, which of course included a meal at Vedge (OMG) and a trip to Reading Terminal Market, where we gorged ourselves on all the amazing food, like a pretzel-studded caramel ice cream from Bassett's that I literally cannot stop thinking about. There's ...

Ginger Walnut Granola

Ginger Walnut Granola

March 4, 2015

Do you guys remember when I used to make jam? Like literally every week? Obviously, that was before I had a kid. Now I barely have time to make Annie's Macaroni & Cheese a nice dinner, let alone tackle a home preserving project. But I miss it! If you are feeling food crafty, and have way more ...

Coconut Lime Banana Bread

Coconut Lime Banana Bread

February 20, 2015

It was -2°F degrees out this morning when I loaded Owen into the car to go to daycare. Still, he refuses to wear a hat. Every time I put one on him (a sun hat, a baseball cap, even a jacket hood) he rips it off and yells "Noooo!" When I tried to put it back on I said, "Doesn't that feel goooood?" ...

Beet, Banana, and Oat Smoothie

Beet, Banana, and Oat Smoothie

January 15, 2015

I've come clean with you before about my love for vacuum-packed cooked beets. I know, I know, they are more delicious and less expensive when you roast and peel them yourself, but let's face it: beet cookery is a dangerous business. Every time I do it, I ruin either a manicure or a sweater. It's ...

Double Chocolate Granola

Double Chocolate Granola

December 12, 2014

If we are friends, at some point in our relationship I have probably given you something to eat. Maybe it was a jar of jam or a batch of cookies, but most likely it was granola. Obviously, I love homemade food gifts, and granola holds a special place in my heart. It's simple to make, it lasts for ...

Cranberry Almond Smoothie

Cranberry Almond Smoothie

October 16, 2014

I have a running joke with a friend that we won't drink anything with calories if it's not caffeinated or alcoholic. Juice? Soda? Not worth it. Coffee? Martini? Yes, please. I've never been a big smoothie person, and I'm not really into our current collective obsession with jucing. Why would I waste ...

Welcome!

Hi! I'm Lucy. Turnip the Oven is my vegetable-focused food blog, but sometimes I'm sidetracked by dessert. My recipes are simple and approachable, and I use fresh, seasonal ingredients. I hope I inspire you to eat more plants…and cookies.
