I generally avoid free food samples in Manhattan, because ew. The city is so crowded and dirty. How many hundreds of fingers have grazed that chunk of cookie or cube of cheese before mine? But a few months ago, a new cafe called The Juice Shop opened up right downstairs from my office. Most of the ...
Shredded Brussels Sprouts with Meyer Lemon and Pomegranate
I adore roasted Brussels sprouts as much as the next veggie lover, but I think that it's important to remember that there are other ways to enjoy them besides blasting them at high heat and showering them with bacon bits. Brussels sprouts can be light, crunchy and refreshing! They can even be a ...
Crispy Chocolate Bark with Pumpkin Seeds and Cranberries
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 ...
Slow Cooker Ratatouille with Fried Eggs
I feel like there is a major conundrum with ratatouille. Yes, it's made with decidedly summery vegetables--eggplant, tomatoes, and zucchini--but it still seems to me like a cold weather dish. At its essence, ratatouille is a hearty vegetable stew, thick and chunky, and exactly the kind of thing you ...
Extra Thick Sweet Potato Hot Chocolate (Paleo, Vegan & Gluten-Free)
I like my hot chocolate thick as cream, so it coats the back of my throat, and it's debatable whether I should use a spoon to eat it. There's just one problem: I don't actually want to drink a mug of heavy cream. So how do you make hot chocolate that is ultra-decadent without being ultra-caloric ...
Miso Soup with Vegetables
A few weeks ago a friend and former colleague sent me a review copy of the new cookbook The Homemade Kitchen by Alana Chernila. I immediately fell in love with it, because on her dedication page, Alana quotes "Simple Gifts," the Shaker song by Joseph Brackett. That song holds such a special place in ...
Carrot Cheddar Soup with Kale
I know we just talked about soup recently. And I know that last winter I shared my all-time favorite recipe for carrot soup. So forgive me for bringing it up again. It's just that last week was unseasonably cold in New York, and pouring rain, and all I wanted to do was curl up with a bowl of pureed ...
Indian Apple, Tomato and Radish Salad
This salad… You guys, I might need an intervention. I've made it three times in the past week, and that's not including the first time I had it, which was at my mother-in-law's house. It's from the latest issue of Cooking Light. When I first saw it, I flipped right past. I thought the combination ...
Vegan Gluten-Free Oatmeal Raisin Smoothie
Can I ask you all a very important question? Do you feel like boxed salad greens go bad at an insanely fast rate? Sometimes it seems like I'm not even out of the grocery store parking lot before there is a rotten leaf of spinach in there, poisoning the whole plastic clamshell. It drives me ...
Feta and Kale Dip
A few weeks ago, my boss showed up at work with an enormous bag of kale for me. Evidently, her CSA kept piling it on, shipment after shipment, and she was running out of things to do with it. Her freezer was full of kale pesto. She'd been eating kale salads most nights. She had even tried throwing ...
