Over the weekend I ended up at an impromptu girls night in. We ended up gathered around a table with simple appetizers. Don’t all gatherings, at least the good ones start around a table? It was one of those perfect nights. Warm, but not too warm right at the golden…
Cold Smoked Salmon Pasta Salad
It is officially the time of year when I begin to hate my oven. And my kitchen. And food in general. It is just too hot to bother. Summer is when the cooling staples come out to play: vegetable salads and watermelon, simple sandwiches and the ever classic pasta salad.…
Shepherd’s Salad
Which salad reminds you the most of warm summer days and family get togethers and gathering around a table to load your plate? Potato Salad? Macaroni? Chicken? Can you taste summer and picture a lazy Sunday afternoon in front of you just thinking about it? I can. If ever there…
Warm Beet Greens with Grapefruit
I had a day to myself recently and decided to spend it doing nothing but cooking – not for the blog, not because I needed to figure out dinner, but for no other reason than I wanted to spend a morning luxuriating in the kitchen. Almost my entire life revolves…
Kale and Grapefruit Salad
Sometimes you want something super simple, yet refreshing with your heavy dinner. Today was such a day. I stole this recipe from Lydia, though granted, she probably still makes it better than I do. It is really quick, easy, and fresh. And even though it is this simple, generally anyone…
Celery Leaf Salsa Verde
I would bet a good chocolate cake that when most of us hear the words “Salsa Verde” we think of the amazing blend of tomatillos, lime, jalapeños and salt that runs wild across our fantasies of dunking chips and street taco bliss. My inner Latina girl highly approves of this…
Warm Roasted Romanesco with Toasted Bread Crumbs
I work in a grocery store. Really, I am a little spoiled because I have every food expert I could ever want just down the stairs from my office. I also don’t have to worry if I forget to pack lunch (this might actually be a bad thing), since food…
Kalettes with Miso & Pomegranate
This week, I basically fell in love. I met the perfect combination of nutty, down-to-earth and purple with a mix of science geekery thrown in for good measure. I could be describing Greg (minus the purple part), but I am actually talking about Kalettes. Who or what are Kalettes? Some…
Sautéed Greens with Fresh Turmeric
I am all about the greens – any time of year. I love collards, bright rainbow chard and still believe that kale has a place in my kitchen. Greens are always a part of my weekly meal prep in some variation or another. They might show up as garlicky /…
ALL our Thanksgiving Recipes. In one place
We’ve had a busy couple of weeks sharing all our Thanksgiving Recipes with you. We thought we’d pull everything together and put it all in one place so that you can either drool (or plan your holiday meal). Appetizers – because let’s face it, that Turkey always takes longer than you…
