These everything bagel cucumber bites with smoked salmon will satisfy your biggest, doughiest bagel craving--without all the calories and carbs. The most amazing thing happened a couple of weeks ago. We had a bunch of friends over, and as I was puttering around the kitchen getting ...
Watermelon Tabbouleh
Juicy ripe watermelon replaces traditional tomato in this healthy, vegan grain salad. We recently had a bunch of friends over for a barbecue (and so the kids could run wild through the sprinkler) and I made this watermelon tabbouleh. It's one of my favorite recipes on the blog, but, well, ...
Cucumber Kiwi Salsa
This crisp, refreshing salsa is bursting with the flavors of juicy kiwi, cool cucumber, tart lime, and spicy jalapeño. I have a salsa confession to make: before I met Alex at the ripe old age of 25, I only ate mild salsa. Mild! I know! What's even the point? It wasn't exactly that I ...
Cantaloupe Gazpacho with Crispy Prosciutto
This fresh, healthy, gluten-free cantaloupe gazpacho is the perfect warm weather soup! I can't believe May is almost half over! Where has the time gone? I recently went to Old Navy to buy Owen some new pants (all of a sudden like 75% of his pants are too small and fit him like capris, it's ...
Strawberry Fattoush Salad
Ripe, juicy berries replace traditional tomatoes in this strawberry fattoush salad with crushed pita chips. If you have ever spent any time with me, you know that I am extremely vain about my hair. I don't like to shop, all my makeup comes from CVS, and the last time I bought an expensive ...
Grapefruit Cucumber Paloma
What's a girl got to do to get a drink on Easter Sunday? As I've mentioned before, Alex is Jewish and I'm half-Jewish. Easter is obviously not a big deal for Alex's family, and it was never a big deal for me growing up, either. This year I dyed some eggs with Owen and we gave him a little ...
Grapefruit Ginger Green Juice
It's the first week of January, which means I'll actually be motivated to use my juicer for the next five minutes! Seriously though, this grapefruit ginger green juice is about to become a big part of my life, because I'm giving up coffee temporarily. I'm not one of those people who drinks ...
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 ...
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 ...
Cucumber Buttermilk Soup
I considered calling this Alex's Worst Nightmare Soup, but I decided that for SEO purposes, it wasn't a good idea. Just kidding. Sort of. Much to my disappointment, my husband is not a fan of either cucumbers or buttermilk. He picks the cucumbers out of all my salads and leaves them languishing on ...
