broccoli caesar salad

Vegan Broccoli Caesar Salad Slaw

August 24, 2015

We just got back from a week of vacation on the South Shore of Rhode Island. We had such a great time at the beach, and Owen was obsessed with the carousel in Watch Hill (which happens to be a stone's throw from Taylor Swift's modest seaside retreat). I actually managed to be pretty healthy this ...

Plum Quinoa Smoothie

August 18, 2015

This is a super quick post.  We are at the beach in Rhode Island this week. We are stuffing ourselves with seafood (clam cakes and Rhode Island clam chowder!) and Owen is loving swimming in the ocean.  Sorry I don't have more photos of this yummy plum quinoa smoothie for you! I actually ...

homemade bloody mary

Fresh Tomato Bloody Mary

August 14, 2015

Last week I drank an entire pitcher of bloody marys.* Seriously, I don't mean to toot my own horn, but this recipe is one of my best yet. I've never been a Mrs. T's mix person (except when I'm on an airplane), but when I've made bloody marys in the past, I've always used bottled tomato juice. I ...

peach bread salad

White Bean Peach Panzanella

August 10, 2015

I really love the concept of a bread salad, don't you? I mean, I can certainly appreciate the value of a gluten-free meal as much as the next health conscious person. But every now and again, let's get down to it and eat a big bowl of bread. I take the train into Manhattan twice a week for work. ...

watermelon gazpacho

Tomato Watermelon Gazpacho

July 27, 2015

I have an old email from April 2007 that always makes me smile. It's from my best friend from high school. She is helping me analyze my new relationship, and also giving me her recipe for gazpacho. What are girlfriends for, right? Sarah and I met on the first day of 9th grade. I was a new ...

marinated mushrooms

Emeril’s Marinated Mushrooms

July 21, 2015

I've written before about how many, many of my cookbooks are stored in my mother-in-law's basement. I was down there earlier this week, and I'm not sure why, exactly, but I picked up a copy of Emeril's Potluck. Maybe it was nostalgia. When I was fresh out of college and working as an editorial ...

vegan carrot orange sherbet

Vegan Carrot Orange Sherbet

July 14, 2015

Let's get something out of the way right off the bat here. I called it "sherbert" for years. Did you? No shame. Evidently, it's one of the most common mispronunciations out there. While we're at it, let's clear up the difference between sorbet and sherbet, too. Sorbet is fruit and sugar. Sherbet ...

Vegan caprese salad

Tomato Salad with Sweet Pea “Ricotta”

July 10, 2015

I have this weird little frustration with caprese salads. There is always too much cheese. The standard ratio is 50/50--one slice of mozzarella for every slice of tomato. But I feel like the cheese should act more like a creamy accessory to a platter of bright, summer tomatoes bursting with tart ...

Arugula Fig Salad with Maple Fig Dressing

July 7, 2015

Arugula + summer fruit = the best salad. Last year I was obsessed with arugula and chunks of watermelon with toasted pine nuts and ribbons of fresh basil. This year, I'm all about figs and walnuts. My college roommate, and one of my dearest friends, Caitlin, is from California, and she is ...

Tomato-Zucchini Gratin

Vegan Zucchini Tomato Gratin

June 26, 2015

I am way, way too excited about this post. I've been dying to share this recipe with you for months now, but I figured I should wait until zucchini was in season. Even though, to be completely honest, I made it a few times over the winter with supermarket squash  and tomatoes flown in from who ...
