Cranberry Almond Shortbread Bars

Cranberry Almond Shortbread Bars

October 31, 2016 1 Comment

These simple, buttery, sweet-tart cranberry almond shortbread bars are the perfect holiday dessert! I know this is the second cranberry recipe I have posted in a week, but forgive me--I'm from Massachusetts. It's in my blood. My childhood home was literally across the street from a cranberry ...

This three ingredient cranberry bourbon cocktail is fizzy, refreshing, and perfect for the holidays! The holidays--and my due date--are just around the corner. I'm so exciting to meet this mystery baby who, evidently, loves tomatoes and pizza (my two biggest cravings), is a morning person (baby ...

Healthy Cranberry Orange Kefir Cake

Healthy Cranberry Orange Kefir Cake

October 26, 2015 3 Comments

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 ...

Crispy Chocolate Bark with Pumpkin Seeds and Cranberries

Crispy Chocolate Bark with Pumpkin Seeds and Cranberries

October 21, 2015 6 Comments

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 ...

Cranberry Lime Rickeys

I have a confession to make: there was a brief period of time in my early 20's when I lied and told everyone I met that I was from Rhode Island. I had recently quit my job, moved to Brooklyn, dyed my hair just shy of black, and gone back to school to become a Serious Writer. Rhode Island, while not ...

Beet Salad with Cranberries and Walnuts

Beet Salad with Cranberries and Walnuts

November 3, 2014 Leave a Comment

Bear with me: I grew up an hour from Cape Cod and it's November. There are about to be more cranberries. Are you a beet person? I never liked them as a kid, but I got super into them in college, where they were always at the salad bar. It was Maine and it was cold, and it felt wrong to eat things ...

Ultimate Fall Salad with Cranberry-Orange Vinaigrette

Ultimate Fall Salad with Cranberry-Orange Vinaigrette

October 30, 2014 Leave a Comment

What's your take on salad at Thanksgiving? We usually skip it. Most of my family members would rather save their stomach real estate for extra helpings of stuffing and pie. Plus, we've fasted all day in preparation for the feast, and no one wants their first bite to be...lettuce. But this year ...

Jalapeño Acorn Squash with Cranberry Walnut Sauce

Jalapeño Acorn Squash with Cranberry Walnut Sauce

October 18, 2014 Leave a Comment

Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. (Can you tell? It's only mid-October and I'm already talking about it.) For us, it's a big multi-family affair: my mother-in-law roasts a massive turkey (and always frets that "it just won't be enough." A few years ago, she actually made a roast beef too, just in ...

Cranberry Almond Smoothie

Cranberry Almond Smoothie

October 16, 2014 Leave a Comment

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.
