Owen has been napping really well recently, and I take full credit for it. Now that it's finally warm out, I've been taking him to this big park by the Hudson River in Tarrytown. It has two nice play structures, but the best part is that it's adjacent to a field of undulating hills. We bring a ...
Asparagus and Pea Soup with Mint Pesto
I have a giant celebrity chef crush on Naomi Pomeroy, who owns Beast in Portland, Oregon. I haven't actually been to her restaurant, but a couple of years ago Alex took me to a cooking class she was teaching for my birthday. If you live in New York and have never been to De Gustibus, I highly ...
Artichoke and Olive-Stuffed Portobellos
I realized there is a bit of a lack of main course recipes on this blog. I promise it's not because I'm secretly pairing all these vegetable dishes with a cheeseburger! (Only sometimes…) No, really it's because my favorite way to eat is to throw a few different sides together and call it a meal. If ...
Roasted Asparagus with Grapefruit Vinaigrette
I had a babysitter growing up who used to marvel at what a good eater I was. Evidently, as soon as she plopped me in the high chair I inhaled everything on the tray. It's definitely true that I've always loved food. The only negative memory I have of it is the one time that same babysitter gave me a ...
Orange Polenta Cakes with Strawberry Balsamic Sauce
Last month Alex and I spent a weekend in Philadelphia, which of course included a meal at Vedge (OMG) and a trip to Reading Terminal Market, where we gorged ourselves on all the amazing food, like a pretzel-studded caramel ice cream from Bassett's that I literally cannot stop thinking about. There's ...
Vegan Potato Leek Soup with Roasted Garlic
This may come as a surprise, since I grew up outside of Boston and I love craft beer, but I am a giant St. Patrick's Day scrooge. I don't like shepherd's pie or mashed potatoes, and I could probably count the number of times I've eaten corned beef on one hand. When I was in college, it was kind ...
Root Vegetable Slaw with Pumpkin Seeds, Mint, and Raisins
Spring is almost here! I know, because this weekend all the snow melted off our roof and our house sprung two major leaks, one in the bathroom and one right above the desk in our office. Thank goodness I am totally disorganized and tend to do most of my writing at the kitchen table! Otherwise my ...
Ginger Walnut Granola
Do you guys remember when I used to make jam? Like literally every week? Obviously, that was before I had a kid. Now I barely have time to make Annie's Macaroni & Cheese a nice dinner, let alone tackle a home preserving project. But I miss it! If you are feeling food crafty, and have way more ...
Strawberry Spinach Salad with Creamy Vegan Lemon Maple Poppy Seed Dressing
When I was growing up, my family would spend a week every summer on Martha's Vineyard. One night we always went out for a "fancy" dinner at this restaurant called the Ocean View, which actually didn't have a view of the ocean, but let's not split hairs. My mom would order a lobster and my dad ...
Coconut Lime Banana Bread
It was -2°F degrees out this morning when I loaded Owen into the car to go to daycare. Still, he refuses to wear a hat. Every time I put one on him (a sun hat, a baseball cap, even a jacket hood) he rips it off and yells "Noooo!" When I tried to put it back on I said, "Doesn't that feel goooood?" ...
