Lamb Ragu
This easy-enough-for-a-weeknight lamb ragu is the perfect rich, hearty, soul-warming meal! I'm not the most organized person. For years, I stored all my important documents (passport, checks that needed to be deposited, social security card) in a vintage napkin holder on my dresser. When I do ...
Vegetarian Bulgur Chili
This hearty, healthy, and delicious vegetarian bulgur chili is sure to convert even the most die-hard of meat lovers! I've been keeping a pretty big secret the past few months. Owen is going to be a big brother! We are expecting a baby pretty soon, actually, at the end of December. I wanted to ...

This one-bowl skinny pumpkin bread is moist, tender, and loaded with warm fall spices--for less than 250 calories a slice! My idea of a perfect fall breakfast: a thick slice of spicy pumpkin bread, slathered with apple butter, and a piping hot chai latte. The only problem is, most pumpkin ...

Shakshuka Soup with Swiss Chard
If you ask me, the best part of shakshuka is the SAUCE, so why not eat a giant bowl of it? A few weeks ago, we drove to Connecticut to have brunch with a group of old friends. We all know each other from our single days in Brooklyn, and now we are all married or about-to-be-married, and have ...
