Start your day off right with this gluten-free, vegan tahini fig smoothie made with cinnamon and fresh spinach. I've been giving my blender a workout lately, from my Maple Chia Smoothie Bowl, to my Spinach and Kiwi Smoothie (which is turning out to be one of my most popular posts!), to my ...

Strawberry Chia Fools with Yogurt Whipped Cream
These simple and delicious strawberry chia fools are topped with a honey Greek yogurt whipped cream. Serve them for breakfast or dessert! You know that old Jerry Seinfeld joke about how the handicapped parking space is the mirage of parking lots? ("Somehow, everybody missed it!") I feel like I ...
Maple Chai Smoothie Bowl (Vegan & Gluten-Free)
I think I might have been a squirrel in a past life. Aaaand I just fell down an Internet rabbit hole searching for a squirrel emoji. Evidently there isn't one, though there is a koala emoji (?), a poodle emoji (?), and a water buffalo emoji (?). But I digress. The reason I think I ...
Morning Glory Smoothie with Quinoa (Gluten-Free & Vegan)
Be honest. Are your mornings glorious these days? Mine definitely aren't. They usually start around 6:15AM, when Owen appears at my side of the bed asking 1) if he can watch TV, and 2) if he can have something totally inappropriate for breakfast, like M&Ms or Cheez-Its. I steel myself and tell ...
Chocolate Raspberry Smoothie Bowl (Vegan)
Let's have chocolate for breakfast and feel good about it. I'd like to introduce you to this ↑↑↑. The first smoothie bowl I have ever made or consumed. I honestly don't know why it took me so long to get on the bandwagon. What's not to love? It's basically just a smoothie with ...

People love to give and receive cookbooks around the holidays! But it can be difficult to find the ...
Healthy Cranberry Orange Kefir Cake
I tried kefir once, 10 years ago, when another waitress at the wine bar I worked at brought some in and offered me a sip. I hated it, and for the next decade I never gave it a second thought. But tastes evolve, or maybe she just had a really gross kind? Because two weeks ago, standing in the ...
Two Yolk Apple Quinoa Frittata
You guys, I realized that I've been holding out on you. I like to think that I post "real" food on my blog--the same dishes that my family eats for dinner, the same cookies we treat ourselves to for dessert. And that's definitely true. But there are also things we eat all the time that I have never ...
Farro Peach Salad
Last weekend Alex and I left Owen with his grandparents and headed into Brooklyn for a barbecue. It felt so amazing to be back in our old neighborhood, surrounded by old friends. The backyard was strung with Christmas lights, there were mulberries falling everywhere, and the grill was loaded with ...
Crispy Chocolate Bark with Ginger, Fennel, and Sea Salt
If you cook half as much as I do, you probably have some favorite chefs and food writers. You recognize their names, and trust that their recipes will turn out right. I'm willing to bet that Ina Garten is on your list, as well as Chris Kimball, Deb Perlman of the Smitten Kitchen, and Melissa Clark ...
