This might be the healthiest thing you will ever eat. No joke. The other day, our fridge was full but empty at the same time. You know what I mean. It always stresses me out, because on the one hand, I don't want to go to the supermarket when we have a lot of food in the house, but on the ...
Easy White Pizza with Brussels Sprouts
Do you have any leftover Brussels sprouts? Good. Here's what to do. Get up from your computer (or, more likely, put down your iPhone) and go look in your fridge. Do you have any leftover roasted Brussels sprouts? Or any cooked vegetables at all, for that matter? You do? Yes! Then you are ...
Roasted Parsnip Pear Puree
Does anyone even eat white potatoes anymore? I mean, of course French fries. And next month we will be making latkes, I promise. But somewhere along the line, it seems, we came to the collective realization that it's pointless to eat plain old mashed potatoes when we could be having ...
Swiss Chard Puttanesca
Do you like anchovies? I remember having a temper tantrum as a little kid because my mom ordered a half cheese, half anchovy pizza from our local Papa Gino's. Even though the anchovies were contained to one side of the pie, I was sure that their essence had permeated the entire ...
Raw Cauliflower Couscous Salad with Za’atar
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Roasted Zucchini Mozzarella Salad
After I bought my spiralizer last month, I went on kind of a crazy zoodle binge. It was a torrid affair, but I think things are finally starting to cool off. The other night after work, I was planning to make zucchini noodles with Rao's vodka sauce, but for some reason I just wasn't feeling it. ...
