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 ...
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 ...
Herb and Hot Sauce Pickled Onions
When I first started blogging over a year ago, Alex asked me when I was going to do a post about "those onions." But I shrugged the suggestion off because, even though these onions are a staple in our fridge, at the time they just didn't seem worthy of an entire post dedicated only to them. I ...
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 ...
Apple, Corn and Butternut Squash Soup with Curry
Ah, this soup. It's been a favorite of mine, in one iteration or another, for years. But there is a small problem with it, which prevented me from doing a post on it last fall, and which almost prevented me from posting it today. The truth is, it's not the prettiest color. Beneath that swirl of ...
Spinach Avocado Soup with Salsa Verde
I'm sorry. I'm sorry that it's the very end of August, and I only discovered this soup last week. It was in an old issue of Better Homes & Gardens that was on the coffee table at the beach house we rented in Rhode Island. I had a hunch it would be delicious, so I copied it onto a scrap of ...
